Not Checked Off... (EDITED)

Much like Santa, I too am making a list and checking it twice. My list, unfortunately, is growing faster than I can check things off on it.

Please tell me you can relate.

The most critical items remaining on my list:

FINISH treat baskets for neighbors. (Ya'll like stale cookies, right?)
CREATE and MAIL a photo calendar to Nana Franklin, Nana Jackson & Grandma Joyce.
WRITE a Christmas newsletter. Or something.
TAKE a picture of the girls to include with the Christmas newsletter.
PRINT and MAIL the Christmas Newsletter. (Lost a bunch of addresses due to a computer problem, but mailed as many as I had addresses for. Oh well.)
PAINT Grandpa Thompson's gift. (It's about 50% painted...)
For that matter, BUY PAINT for Grandpa Thompson's gift.
Assemble Grandpa Thompson's gift.
Assemble Mom's gift.
Wrap a lot of presents.
Go grocery shopping.

I think, however, that I just figured out why these things haven't been getting done. They aren't written down on my ACTUAL list. Not one of them! The ACTUAL list is full of other items - like clean out the refrigerator, vacuum the stairs, and clean the bathroom.

I think I need to update my list.
