Real moms multi-task.

And if that's true, I'm in big trouble.

Half the time, I think I have ADD. I'm like that babysitter kid on The Incredibles who says she wishes someone had played Mozart for her as a baby while she was sleeping because "half the time, I don't know what anybody's talking about".

But I really have to get it together. There's a lot to do, and only a little bit of time.

I gave up list-making a long time ago. Lists are supposed to make you feel like you've accomplished something. But I always focus on the things I haven't checked off, and end up feeling like a failure.

Yet tonight, I'm making an extensive list (and it will be HUGE). And then I will sit down with my calendar and figure out what goes where. I'm making a commitment to work hard to get my to-do list done, but I'm also going to try not to make myself crazy when I don't quite get it all done.

You can bet I'll let you know how it goes.
