The List

My days are spent checking things off of a list.

Did I run today? Check
Did I eat a balanced breakfast? Check
Did I shave in the shower? Check

My husband calls me a box checker.

Did I feed the dogs? Check
Did I feed the children? Check
Did I cry? Check

He leaves for the office in the morning and says “Have a nice day.”

Did I have a nice day? Check
Did I just lie? Check
Did I get the chicken out to thaw? Check

When he returns home at night, he’ll ask me how my day was.

Did I talk to my husband? Check
Did I make dinner? Check
Did I meet his needs? Check

But sometime I’d like to talk to him about something different.

Did I brush my teeth? Check
Did I say my prayers? Check
Did I remember to turn on the alarm? Check

I’ll have to put that on my list for tomorrow.
