micro managing control freak or is it just me?

The last line makes it all better. This is probably exactly the way she would make the list if she were making one for herself. I think you are reading too much into it but you know her better than me.

Not to make too much of it but taking a picture of if and running it up the Cellar flagpole is kind of interesting.

If you really wanted to make a statement about it, fill it out, get it notarized and FedEx it to her with signature required.

foot^3,

What matters is how you feel about it. If it bothers you, talk to her tonight. If you guys argue in a healthy way, you can say, "Honey, I felt very micromanaged by that list you left this morning. Do you really think I need reminding to take the stroller with me?"

Whereupon she can say, "I never intended for you to feel that way, I was just trying to help out." or she can say, "Well I do think you would forget your head if it wasn't screwed on tight. Do you think I overdid it?"
