The Counter: a snapshot of my life.

• the New Era

• my breakfast bowl (on the menu: shrimp, rice and snow peas.  Ate breakfast so late I thought I might as well get lunch taken care of at the same time.)

• Webelos Scout Book (have lots to get done before his birthday on April 12)

• post it note (a reminder about the "book talk" at school today.  Reasonably sure he hasn't read the whole book.)

• timed math quiz (She passed!  Now it's on to multiplication.)

• library books (a new series that Matt is hooked on.  Picked up books 2 and 3 this morning along with Freckle Juice for the littles.)

• an old to-do list (from February.  Found it in the bottom of my purse.)

• scouting for food bag

• spelling words (test today)

• mail (taking care of my parent's mail for the next 18 months)

• scout camp packing list (leaving today after school.  30 degrees out.  may possibly freeze to death.)

• ground pad and Mountain House lasagna dinner in a bag

• pill organizer (Is it the contents or the fact that I use a pill organizer that makes me old?)

•  drivers permit

• invitation to Masquerade Ball (another sweet 16)

• current to-do list (when I say current I mean I've been working on it for the past 2 weeks.)

• unfinished smoothy (my big boys love their morning smoothies)

• 3 unripe cantaloup 

• bug spray (yesterday mosquitos. today snow.)

• Book of Mormon (family scripture study hasn't gone so well this week.  darn daylight savings!  oh wait.  that was two weeks ago.)

• Macy's ad (a reminder of the free Clinique gift with purchase beginning monday.  pretty sure new makeup will vastly improve my life.)
