Honeydo Lists
posted in General |My lovely wife (Happy Anniversary, honey) turned to me last night and said, and this is a direct quote; “Honey, we don’t have anything planned this weekend, right? So you can finish ripping out those bushes and mow the lawn and clean the house ?” I have to admit, my response was a not very helpful grunt. My weekend went from a fairly quiet S.E.R.E.N.E. weekend to a H.A.V.O.C weekend in less than a paragraph.
Honestly, I don’t need help coming up with a honeydo list; there’s always one in my head. That’s one of the reasons I’m frequently tired; I spend a lot of mental energy chasing one end of the list around, making sure I’m not forgetting something, and then starting over again at the top. Frustratingly, it’s hard for me to decide not to listen; if Miss B asks for a glass of water, it sort of sits in the back of my head that “hey pal, someone needs water.” Or if Mrs B suggests that she’d like to see the HUGE hedges gone from in front of the house sometime this summer, well, it sits in the back of my head for literally months.
Or even if Toddler K wakes up from her nap, plays quietly for a little bit and then cries for a while … sooner or later I have to change her.
