Optimism

I didn't get anything done today. This is how I felt when I looked at my house this evening. I had two loads of laundry that hadn't been folded for two days sitting on the couch. I had a sink full of dishes, and I didn't even cook dinner. There were toys all over the house and the floor is still sticky. I've been saying I need to mop it since Tuesday. The girls' room is covered with clothes that Katherine so graciously dumped during "nap time". So when my husband called and asked what I did today and I began recounting the events of the day, I realized that I really did a lot and I need to give myself some credit! I do have five kids for pete's sake! So for the sake of optimism, here's what I DID do today! I swam for twenty minutes, went to a parent-teacher conference, dropped Michael off at school, played with my mom and sister (yay for staring at someone else's house!), picked Michael up and fed him lunch, I took a nap(I don't even know the last time that happened!), I took Lillie to gymnastics, I fed the children dinner (yeah, it was only cold cereal, but oh well), we all did homework and read and I successfully bathed all five of them! Phew! So here's to not getting anything done today!! On to tomorrow...
