To Do

I always have a lot to do.  And because no one in my family probably even notices or cares about half the stuff I do ("to-dos" that I inflict upon myself), and because I got an amazingly lot of things done a couple of days ago, and because I want a record of what I did in ONE day.  I am going to post it here: Here's what I did:  Exercised (ran and did step aerobics 1 1/2 hours), read the scriptures and prayed, finished the stripping/ waxing job on the kitchen floor, re-caulked all the baseboards in the kitchen, re-painted all the baseboards in the kitchen, cleaned out the garage (not super good, but I did straighten and blow out all the dust and sweep it good.), straightened  and wiped out all the kitchen cupboards, vacuumed the upstairs, used the carpet cleaner upholstry attachment to clean my couches, finished Luke's scrapbook.  (All 6 kids are now "caught up" through June 2014), cleaned out the office including filing and dusting and vacuuming.....Whew!  Then yesterday I was feeling guilty because I didn't "get much done," but I was TIRED, and I think I was just comparing my accomplishments to the previous day, but yesterday I DID:  Exercise, read the scriptures and pray, fix a good breakfast for my family (bacon, eggs, juice, toast), held family scriptures with my kids, did laundry, made three loave of applesauce bread, delivered some to a neighbor, did some more filing, and ran a few errands.

Ok, now I feel a bit validated for all my work :)

P.S.  I TRIED to MAKE Luke appreciate the clean, freshly-painted baseboards, but he was unimpressed.  However I did get him to say, (in a flat, unenthusiastic voice), "Yes mom, they look great," while not even looking at them.
