Honey Do List

Weekends are no longer mine....they belong to a white piece of paper that has about a thousand chicken scratched entries on it. These entries range from mundane cleaning activities to time intensive home improvement items. I am a slave to the list.
This list usually has headings for each section. These include such things as Outside, Baby Room, Finances, Cleaning, Vacuuming, etc. Each of these headings contains many sub-bullets which are the actual activities (the "Do" part of the list). Example:

Paint

  • Dining Room
  • Living Room
  • Baby Room

My weekend satisfaction completely revolves around getting to cross items off the list. There is nothing quite so sweet as drawing a line through a completed task. I do, however, take exception when my wife crosses off tasks that I completed. I mean, I labored over the task...and now your telling me there is no sweet reward at the end....I don't think so.
