Big Hairy Audacious Goals Update and a Story About Lemonade

I was dreading updating you all on my to-do list.  I felt like a failure after a few days of not getting anything accomplished.  But, as luck would have it, I live in some sort of Time Vortex where the days repeat themselves and skip around.  Feel free to join me here, it's really quite amazing.  So here we are:

1. Arrive at my doctor appointment on time
2. Stop at Target for 2 things (one of them is chocolate)
3. Stop at WINCO for Milk, Bread, Bananas, Apples, Sour Cream, Cereal and Eggs
4. Stop at Babies R Us for a nursing cover
5. Bake Banana Bread
6. Do some laundry
7. Do the dishes
8. Figure out what EXACTLY I need to have in the diaper bag
9. Vaccum
10. Tidy the living room
11. Wear clean underwear EVERYDAY
12. Shower (at least) every three days
13. Wear makeup at least once a week
14. Read Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Baby
15. Decide which pictures need to be printed for Owen's scrapbook calendar
16. Seriously think about starting a scrapbook or journal for Owen
17. Actually start a scrapbook or journal for Owen
18. Decide that the scrapbook calendar is good enough for now
19. Second guess item number 18
20. Complete the projects for Jessica Sprague's free Inspiration Everywhere online creativity class that I signed up for (There's no deadline for this - I'm not that stupid)
21. Stop at Borders and spend the free $5 Borders Bucks that were credited to my account.
22. Stop by the office and see if I can borrow the mp3 player for Owen (um, maybe I'll call first)
23. Create a meal plan
24. Finish sending thank you notes (and then hope I didn't forget anyone)
25. Drink more water
26. Be more diligent with Baby Wearing around the house
27. Farm out some of these chores to husband and/or friends  **See Item #7**

So there you have it.  I did pretty good over the last couple of weeks, didn't I?  I still haven't been drinking as much water as I need to but I had a glass of 7-up today so that has to count for something.  I'm also a little embarrased about #11 - I think the pair of underwear I'm wearing is on day three already.  Yes, I could just march in and grab a clean pair and swap them out but that take at least thirty extra seconds in the morning.  And yes, I could go in right now and change my underwear but do you know how hard it is to find a few extra minutes to write when you live your life in three hour increments (35 minutes of which are spent feeding, 5 minutes of diaper changing, 5 minutes to figure out what the baby wants to do, 10 minutes to put away dishes, 15 minutes to vacuum the living room, 5 minutes to calm the baby down so he can go to sleep, 5 minutes to sort through yesterday's mail...You know what? None of us has time for a run down of how I manage to waste 180 minutes on things other than changing my underwear, I'm just going to go change it right now.  Okay.  Done.  Clean Underwear.)  But you know, if there's one thing I've learned over the last six weeks, it's that if it hasn't been pooped or peed on, it's still fair game - that goes for Baby and Mom.

Sheesh, because you made me go and change my undies, you'll just have to wait for the Lemonade Story.  Because now the baby is awake and I have to go do something else for 35 minutes.  So there.
