To Do: Lists

My dear husband doesn't always understand the need for me to make a list. He often times gets frustrated when I sit down with my little notebook and my pen, and start to jot down everything that's floating around in my head.
Without lists: I'd be dead. Not really, but i sure would feel like I've lost my mind. My mom says that's because I have a spaghetti brain and husbands have waffle brains. We, as women, have a trillion things on our minds and those neat little $1 store pads of paper come in very handy as we try to remember it all.
Take for instance going grocery shopping with your children, if you go to the grocery store needing to get a b c & d, but have no list, you end up getting e f & g, forgetting a & d, and getting the wrong b or c, so therefore you must list!

I have an ultimate list, it's a list of adventures I want to go on with my children. Sites that I want to expose them to, allow me to share that list with you (before I forget!)
