day three...mondays & lists

i've got my holiday list all written, monday chores are completed around here, talked with mom for over an hour, showered and dressed and ready to go, car packed with gifts to be returned or exchanged (hello, my name is carol and i sometimes find a BETTER gift for someone on my list so i careful unwrap the first gift, find the receipt, drive to the store, stand in a long line and return the first gift - therapy after the holidays for sure) and i'm on my way to pottery barn/barnes and noble/target/best buy/hallmark/pier one...its a great day here for shopping - sunny and 65 - i've got the minivan cruising, colbie caillat singing, the holiday to-do list mentally checking off all the things i'm going to accomplish today then the cell phone rings...guess who? "mrs. sippel i have one of your sons in the nurses office with an earache - what would you like me to do?" "perhaps he could try out one of those cute little cots and a blanket for the next 5 hours? i've got just a couple things i'd really like to do..." haha - so shopping monday is now doctors appointment monday and we'll try this list again tomorrow or wednesday...gotta go, i have a better list to tend to...watch movies, play games, read books with a curly colin..happy monday no matter what your list looks like....peace
