The TA DA list

I was reading another blog and just loved their idea.  Instead of a TO DO list they wrote a TA DA list.  Like TA DA....see what I got done today...rather than a to do list that makes you feel bad for all the things you couldn't get to.  So today I am writing my TA DA list....

1.  Got up and made french toast for the kids.
2.  Got them ready and out the door for school.
3.  Read my scriptures.
4.  Studied for my Psychology class for 3 hours.
5. Put in a couple loads of laundry and cleaned and vacuumed the t.v. room.
6.  Went to the bread store.
7.  Picked Ethan up from school and took him to the dr. (we got there at 4:10 and left at 5:30)
8.  Picked up my medicine.
9.  Went to Rite Aid to get Calebs meds.
10.  Went to Safeway to get swedish fish and sour patch kids for FHE
11. Took Ethan to the eye glass store to get his glasses adjusted only to find out it was closed and then realized I left my purse in the cart at Safeway.  YIKES.  I was just going to go home because I was tired but Ethan really wanted his glasses adjusted so we headed over there (just a few doors down from Safeway).  Had I just gone home my purse may have been in the hands of someone else.  Upon realizing it was still in the cart I pulled up quickly and had Ethan get out and run in to see if it was still there and it was.  TENDER MERCY!  There was a lady that was about to put her kid in the cart and Ethan went up and got the purse.
11. PHEW....didn't have to cook...mom made roast and carrots.
12. Did the activity for FHE first.  Don threw the football for the boys while I tossed the volleyball for the girls to hit.
13. Then came inside and watched the new bullying video on lds.org then talked about bullying.
14.Told Ethan and Mayah a story and read Mayah her homework paper.
15.  Headed to bed to talk with Don before going to bed. 
16.  And already have a call to sub tomorrow.  But atleast it is at my favorite school with awesome teachers.

The only thing I would change is to have atleast one service a day to put on my TA DA list.  But it was a busy day.  And I was able to do these things because I didn't sub today.  I love staying home and getting things done.

Lisa, don't sell yourself short! You did lots of service today...there is no better place to serve than in our families! I know what you meant, but service can be holding the door or just a smile or friendly greeting! You are a great a example and that is an awesome TA DA list!
