I'm posting now because I have a blog friend who needs something to keep her mind off not getting a phone call she's expecting. So be prepared for whatever enters my mind.....
I've had a pretty productive day so far, for me at least. We've all had breakfast, kids had a bath, I put in contacts and applied make up, posted a lot of pictures to a family website, tidied, washed a load of laundry, folded and put away another load, unloaded the dishwasher, vacuumed, took Resolve to some tough spots on the carpet, dressed the kids, deep cleaned the bathroom, made everyone's beds.
Wow! I didn't realize how much I'd gotten done! Very satisfying. (My days are never like this!!) Usually, I read a book or enter the blogosphere for an hour, maybe two. I make sure the kids are fed and changed, but that's about it!! I feel quite fulfilled.
Left on my list for today: Get myself dressed, do my hair, go to wal-mart and buy bread, a shovel, paint roller refills, a glue stick and "To Do List" notepad, fill the holes that the dogs have dug in the backyard, touch up paint on walls, walk the dogs, make lunch, make dinner, try not to eat too much chocolate (or cheese sticks!! I had NO idea how much saturated fat was in a cheese stick! And here I thought I was being healthy and getting my servings of dairy in a day. See, this is what I get for trying to be healthy!), go to the library and pray to find Toy Story since my kids are begging for it, finish scrapbook pages for the swap tomorrow night, clean sofa cushions, make brownies for friends coming over tonight, tidy house again before husband comes home, tidy house AGAIN before friends come over. Whew. I think that's it.
Oh, and blog and get like 25 comments from people who think I'm a hilarious wonder woman. Maybe I only have like 3 people who look at each day, and if so, it's cool. Whatever. But if I really have more and it's just people LURKING who don't leave comments, well, shame on you. :o) I measure my self-esteem by the amount of comments I get, and it's been sadly lacking of late! (Okay, I'm not that pathetic, but comments are still nice.) "Happiness is a comment box overflowing."
I think that's all for now, but stay-tuned. I'll probably give up on half of my list and post again. Just 'cuz I can.

Hi! I'm Frumpy's cousin--Wow! I'm impressed with all that you've accomplished so far today! I have to say that I've definitely revised what my personal version of "a lot" is now that I'm the mom of a 7-week old. I just don't get much done anymore. Good luck with the rest of the list!

And we should get together soon now that we're back here - are weekdays or weekends better for your fam?
I don't know why but I felt this intense urge to comment on your blog.
Maybe it was the subliminal messages...hmmm...
You're cute Alyssa and I am amazed at everything you've gotten done. Me...I'm still in my pj's just looking at blogs.
You truly are the "Superwoman" to match your "Superman". ; )
Alyssa !! YOU'RE TOO FUNNY!!! I certainly have to say how much I love to read these blogs. By you and everyone else that I do read. Thanks for sharing.
i love reading your blog! it's so interesting to see how even though we have very similar backgrounds and come from the same place, we have completely different lives right now! :c)
on another note - you are a superhero getting all that done in one day. i live alone and can't get all that done!
