Usually when I make a to-do list, I write it in my head.

It is not because I do not like to have things written down, it is just that I keep alot of things in my head. I have appointments in there, schedules, keeping track of things, authors I want to read, letters i am writing and many more things! What is the reason for this?

“drum roll”

NO PENS!!

Am I the only mother in the world that cannot find a pen when I need one? I feel like there are never enough pens.

Anyhow, when my schedule of my mind gets overfull, I start waking up at night to go over my “list”. This is irritating, of course, so then I find a pen, pencil or crayon and begin to jot down the “list”

This is just to be able to sleep. I may never cross off things off of the “list”, but at least I can sleep!
