We Did What? 01/24/2011
 
It is the end of a long Monday and I'm pooped!  I know that the kids and I got plenty of work done, but sometimes it seems like I ask myself, "What did we do today?"   So just a reminder for you and myself, let's go over the list...

1. We got up, had coffee and hugged the children.  Not necessarily in that order.

2. With our beds made (does throwing the pillows to the head of the bed count?), we were ready for our learning by 9am.  Well, most of us were.

3. Music, science, handwriting, Scholastic News, literature, and giggling about a silly joke was done by one child or the other.

4. Lunch break!  : )

5. Finish up our to do list.  Not much left, but crossing stuff off sure feels good.

6. End the day with kids doing taekwondo and me rushing to Trader Joe's with another list while they're in class.

7. Dinner, baths, bed, more hugs and kisses... lights out.

8. Oh my gosh... breathe!  Put our feet up, know that we had a full day and be thankful that we did what we did.  The kids are healthy, growing, and thriving.  Isn't that what it's all about?  Whatever your list looks like, you did it, you finished, what an accomplishment!   TM : )

Timely post-- sounds very similar to our day with the non-stop "to-do" list. Yes, breathing is good!

I'm laughing about the "throwing the pillows to the head of the bed" bit because, today, my son actually took special care and made his bed very nicely. This is RARE, just to be absolutely clear.

Of course, I thanked him but, inwardly, I was dying to say, "Now can you please do that 365 days a year?" lol! No, of course not. Not in the cards. But I will take what I can get. : ) Hugs are more important, anyway.

You can send him over, but he will only learn how to make a perfect bed 1 time every 365 days. ; )
