I just had to go over there and look and now I feel like a loser. Yeah, I got a to do list... It's usually, "Keep babies alive"!! Haaha!
This and add find time to go to the bathroom!

Or shower, or eat.
I used to make to do lists, but I was never able to finish them. Then I'd feel like a failure, so I just stopped making the lists. Now I try to get as much done as I can, but I don't usually have a set agenda.
I've always had a to do list. It's in Microsoft Outlook.
But the past 4.5 years, it has included things like:
Make dinner
Baths
Take meds/supplements
Clean up the kitchen
I like being able to check things off.
I'll be a hybrid of SAHMand working Mom. my days will be work 10:30-7 (30 min drives each way) then take care of the twins when I get home until DH gets home between 4 and 6 pm (depending on where he's stationed at the end of the day) then sleep til 9:30
my "to-do" will be:
Try not to turn into a ball of stress
Keep twins alive
Do not kill DH
try to keep the house semi-clean-ish
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Lol, Macchiatto!
I always have my post-it note on a counter in my kitchen and my irl friends rib me about it because it includes similarly simple items. Hey, giving more than 1 kid a bath IS an accomplishment!
ETA: I just checked out the SAHM board. Their lists aren't really that impressive. lol. They include things like "brush the dog's teeth" and "run the dishwasher". I feel better now.
LOL to all the PPs...I can so relate! I'll admit; I do write to-do lists b/c writing down what I have to do helps keep me from feeling overwhelmed. It usually includes things like "change out of PJs," "take meat out of freezer for dinner," "wash bottles," etc. but for the bigger things (like housework), I'll often write something down on Monday's list and then get to it on Friday etc. ~le sigh
And when I'm having one of *those* days, I'll write "Keep babies alive" on the list just so I can check it off and feel accomplished.
I do the same for the same reasons - it makes a day that seems like I have a lot to do feel a little bit more compartmentalized. Though this is PRE TWINS, we shall see post birth, I may have a list that is simply "make a to do list"
Maybe I should make the post baby lists now while I am on bed rest :P
