Just Another Monday

I read a friends blog last night and saw that she had recorded all her doings of one her days.  I was amazed at everything she accomplished and decided that maybe I ought to do that.  Not only will I probably be reminded of how much I really do (even when I don't feel like I accomplish a darn thing) but I'm sure I'll get a kick out of it some day, won't I?

So here ya go...

-Woke up and said my prayers at 6:00 before going in to wake up the kids.  (mostly I prayed for patience...I was sort of feeling grumpy still from yesterday)
-Helped Spencer get dressed...I have to keep him on task.  Watched Sarah do her own hair and okay it for her to go downstairs.  All the while whispering...trying to keep little Alli asleep.
-Feed the kids breakfast, packed their lunches/backpacks, read scriptures to kids while they ate, said family prayers.
-Talked with Justin on the phone and passed it around to each child.
-Put Sarah on the bus, got Spencer practicing the piano, did the dishes, put Spencer on the bus.
-Ate a bowl of cereal and my green smoothie while I watched the Today Show.
-Did 15 minutes of Pilates/Yoga until Allison woke up.
-Fed Allison.  While she ate, I emptied all the garbages, looked up articles on "How to stop your 18 month old from hitting and biting" and finished stretching a little while I was at it.
-Off to the shower, threw a load of laundry in.
-Cut coupons, cleaned out coupon folder, answered emails, checked numbers with Shelf Reliance.
-Stopped to dance with Alli because she was walking all over my coupons
-Deposited money in the bank, got a few groceries, filled the car with gas, drove through the car wash, vaccumed the car.
-Put groceries away, texted a few friends because I just found out I'm over cell phone minutes.
-Fed Allison lunch, laid her down for a nap, threw in more laundry.
-Sat down to eat lunch while I read scriptures.
-Unloaded and loaded the dish washer.
-Folded laundry.
-Got a Q going for Shelf Reliance.  Submitted Host Benefits for Shelf Reliance.
-Allison woke up; changed her diaper, combed her hair and put her shoes back on.  We sat outside and watered the grass while we waited for the bus.
-Got Sarah off the bus...caught up on her day.
-Got Spencer off the bus...caught up on his day.
-Ate Snacks, worked on homework, reading.
-Got Sarah practicing the piano.
-Sent Spence & Sarah to put away laundry.
-Prepared dinner and put meat loaf/potatoes in the oven.
