AHHH...Mom's neverending "to-do" list. I took a vacation day today just to catch up on everything. Interested in the fascinating day of Denise? Here's today's list:
- breakfast for the kiddos, pack lunches, send them out the door to school
- make beds, clean up, etc
- meet my darling friend Amy at the gym for a butt-kicking
- pick up the Hungry girl cookbook I had reserved at the library
- drive all over town looking for green accessories, for the Greenacres vs. Liberty Lake staff basketball game tonight. Greenacres rocks! Did you know its the place to be?
- return 2012 to the video store. You know, the one I searched and searched for all last weekend...finally found and then never got to finish? Yeah, that one. Grr.
- print photos at kinkos
- come home. laundry, vaccuuming and dusting on the agenda
- pay bills, balance checkbook and organize kids' papers
- purchase junk food for Cole and his buddy Sean who is spending the night tomorrow
- watch the Biggest Loser before the kids get home from school. Yes, I actually have to put this on a to-do list. Maybe I'll get to watch last weeks episode too, but not likely!
- help kiddos with homework, eat a bite of dinner so I don't eat junk at the game tonight
- go to game, watch my little cheerleader and drummer perform at the game
- come home after we win the game, tuck in little people, get stuff ready for tomorrow
- collapse into a giant heap in bed
And, here I go!
Phew! I've almost forgotten how full of activity the days were when family is young. We had 4 children spread over 11 years. For several years they were spread out over 4 different schools all with their special activities. I often struggled, especially when I had ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for years.
