This sounds so familiar. I’ll at least go along with the idea of setting up a notebook of all the things you ought to do. Then maybe tackle one of them.

At the risk of running afoul of the Cathy-is-stupid contingent, that does happen to me. I start thinking of a couple things, then my list gets ahead of me (see panel 2) and I get totally overwhelmed and get little, if anything, done. Then the baby eats the list, and we start over again.

Me too. I need to do almost everything they’ve named. And my house looks almost as bad as my mother’s. Groan… My only hope is that I am working on moving the papers to electronic, and she refuses.

I’ve said it before..I wish C. Guisewite would use real backgrounds(like she used to)..the stylized decorative lines don’t really work well.
