Putting Pen to Paper

I have never been one to make lists.  Just didn`t like them.  It helped that I seemed to be able to remember things.  Even in university, I knew when essays and projects were due.  Call it a gift.  And then I got pregnant.  Am I correct in assuming you have heard of pregnancy brain?  Not only did dates and appointments make a quick exit from my brain, so did words, simple everyday words.  Babbling idiot at times, I tell ya.  But still  no lists.

Fast forward to this fall.  My memory has't improved but the amount of things that need to be done certainly has.  So a few weeks ago, I broke down one morning and grabbed a scrap of paper.  Jotted down a few things I needed to do that day, things that couldn't slip my mind like they had the day before.  Now here's the shocker.  The list worked.  It worked, I tell ya.  I emailed my brother-in-law.  I made soap.  I did all kinds of things.  i even added yoga to the list and guess what?  I did yoga!  This list thing is amazing.  Where has it been all my life?!  It is revolutionizing my days.  Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration but I do feel a little more in control.  And a little more control is definitely something I am needing.
