To Do or NOT to do

THAT is the question as posed by Shandy on the blog challenge for today.

Oh where to start? Well I guess I'll go all Julie Andrews in the "Sound of Music" on you and "Start at the very beginning...a very good place to start..." Do Re Mi...Do Re Mi.... Oh look the hills are alive with the sound of music. Watch your back Maria, the Baroness is going to put the "smack down" on you. What did Liesle see in that little Nazi?

Huh...what? Sorry. Focus, focus, focus

Iron Shirts for boys to wear at chapel this morning (Is it too early to teach them to iron? I'm thinking not. This is a life skill that will put them in good stead with a future wife and rack me up bennies with the future DIL's)

Pack Snacks in boys book bags (Because the snacks need to last the rest of the week and left up to the "ravenous horde" it would be depleted by tomorrow)

Clean up kitchen after breakfast ( Because DH fixes breakfast every morning. He's a good man. I think I'll keep him)

Pack my lunch and gym bag for work (Because momma is bound and determined to get this bod swimsuit season ready. I walked three miles today. My toes are numb. Moderation? Not in my vocab)

Make sure homework is in book bags (I really need to stop hovering and let them do this themselves. I could have another two minutes in the bathroom if I let go of this one)

Face the "To Do" list at work (It is too long, painful and boring to inflict the details upon you. You should thank me. really. You're welcome!)

Pick boys up at carpool (Hugs all around and nonstop chatter on the drive home. Life is good. The noise level? Approaching the levels of jets taking off)

Stop by Grocery store (Because those little stinkers snuck more snacks. Hard to be mad at them when they're so whip thin and need every calorie. "yes you can have the granola bars. no you can't have 5 cartons of serving size pringles)

Throw some laundry in the dryer. Pull a load out (Hey LOOK....there's that missing sock. The extra cushy ones I use for walking....SWEET! Got to love it when the laundry gods throw you a bone)

Prep Veggies for Dinner (Because 30 minute meals take me 45-60 minutes if I don't!)

On tap for this evening

Science test preparation for oldest. (Anyone want to know the difference between Conduction vs Convection vs Radiation? I know ....I know! I would so totally kick butt at "Are you smarter than a 5th grader!! Uhhmmmm only because I have a 4th grader who does Fifth grade curriculum and I'm learning by osmosis!)

Fix Dinner (and let DH clean up...did I mention that he's a keeper?)

Collapse on sofa with a good book, a glass of wine and the TV tuned to American Idol on low for the last 5 minutes so I can offer up a snarky comments when Sanjaya finally gets the boot.

Peace out peeps!
