Today I.....

Feel free to skip these posts. I'm writing them more for me, a reminder of what a mom actually does in a day, to keep me from feeling discouraged when I don't meet my own expectations (let alone anyone else's). Or, feel free to read on.

1. Missed church with 3 kiddo's with colds
2. Washed, dried (but didn't get put away yet) 6 loads of laundry
3. Ran the dishwasher 4 times

5. Swept and mopped the bathroom
6. Cleaned and sterilized the toilet and bathroom sink
7. Took a shower
8. Made the bed

That's about it.
