It's amazing how much moms really do in a day! There was probably a few more little things that didn't even make the list! Thanks for a sneak peak into your day. I often wonder if I'll be able to handle four kids or any more than the two I already have. ;)
What are you - a MOM or sum-thin'?? I was up watching the football game re-run too - how funny. I was so tired, and so ready to fall into bed - I just flipped on the TV while waiting for my turn with the toothbrush (no we don't share a toothbrush, just the electric base thing) and I ended up staying up til the end - I just couldn't bear to turn it off, even though I knew how it turned out. How silly is that?
It's interesting to review a normal day of a Mom/Wife and see how much really does get done in a day. I often feel like I didn't get done near what I had set out to do for the day, but find that my day was busy and full all day. When I look back on the day I usually see that I did more than I had thought. I think your days are way busier than mine and I have a hard time keeping up with what I get to do everyday! I think it's also good to look back and see that even if it seems like we aren't appreciated much our Family needs us and otherwise things would not run as smoothly as they sometimes do! Good work! It was good to see you all in Idaho!
I'm tired just reading this!
Intrigued about your scripture journal...is this just somewhere you write about what you are reading? :) when I saw the optional dinner too....so glad it is just not my house.
I love it when mom's do this, but then I feel an overwhelming amount of frustration because most of what is done is never really done - it has to be done again and again (probably why I hate laundry and dishes)
And it all starts again tomorrow:)
