To Do Tuesdays AND Tot Talk Tuesdays {5}

I know, can you believe it? TWO Tuesday “group activities” in one post. I’m a new participant in the To Do Tuesdays with Lisa from Crazy Adventures in Parenting.

My Introduction to the meme list: Hello, my name is 2Shaye, and I'm a list-a-holic. I love making lists. Long lists. I feel good about checking items off. My husband and I share lists through Google docs weekly to help us remember what we’re supposed to do. What can I say, I need a little accountability. I’m a little neurotic about my lists, too. Like, sometimes I go back into my list and write in something that I failed to originally include that I already did by accident--JUST so that I can cross it off. It makes me look accomplished and even busier than I already am (which means that even if the dishes aren’t washed and no one has clean underwear, I still did stuff). And DUDE, don’t you EVER erase ANYthing off one of my old lists. Everything must remain fully intact and readable at the end of the year week so that I REMEMBER how proficient I was each week.

So…needless to say, I’m totally onboard with Lisa. Here goes:

Find B’s new address (I don’t know what special place I wrote it!)
Call C back to set up a meeting (1 hour)
Call picture studio about shipping portraits
Call new doctor’s office in RC
Call oral surgeon
Email S regarding group meeting
Contact T regarding conference speaking engagement
Move all “to sell and to donate” items to the garage
Move all baby clothes to backroom closet for sorting at a later date
Move CRAYOLA stuff to basement (there’s some history here)
Sort through two more boxes (mega bonus points if you do more)
Send photos to mom for history (where DID this thing come from?)
Select recipe for guest blog post (Thank you, Karen, for inviting me!)
Fill out HS curriculum paperwork (Due August 1st)
At least START on birthday plans (two late August birthdays)
Look up Farmer’s Market for produce order
Wash kids sheets (Is a month really too long to go between washings?)
Move diaper table to garage (you know you’ll never use that thing when you have a bed that works just as well)
Get lost in bloggyland…daily, if you’re lucky! HA!

I’m also a continuing participant in Tot Talk Tuesdays started by Niecey of The Monkeys and Me. As always, there were some wonderful quotes this week—things that had us laughing out loud. I’ll leave you with one for now. I’m still going through boxes of junk from our storage and I found an old camera this week (the film type). I popped some new batteries into it and handed it off to the kids to play with (w/o film). BOY did they have the FUNNEST DAY EVER flashing that thing all over the house—setting up pretty displays and getting each other to pose. It was seriously the most enjoyable “inside” day we’ve had in a while. Well, I noticed at one point that my daughter flashed quite close to me while I was turned away. So I finally looked to see what she was “shooting” and the camera was aimed right at my behind.

5-year-old explains: I’ve taken pictures of everyone’s bottoms!

Me (laughing): Um, okay.

5-year-old: Even my own.

Me: Really? How’d you do that?

5-year-old: Like this (demonstrates).

Oh man. WHEN do they grow out of the fascinated-with-bottoms phase?
