So, in hopes of making myself feel better, I made a list of all of the things that I did today and I thought I would share it all so you can get some insight into my life, a good chuckle, etc. This list is in no particular order - just how my brain remembered everything. Now, to some of you out there, some of these things don't seem like they should make it on the ta-da list (i.e. shower), but as all stay-at-home moms know, you can't take anything for granted. Enjoy! :)

Sara, you need to read "The List" it's a story in one of the Frog and Toad books. If you don't have them, the boys will love them. :) Also, I loved your list, and if it makes you feel better, you got FAR more accomplished than I did today! Our dinner crumbs are definitely still under the table, among other things! Congratulations on the continued failures of potty training. I SO understand. :) Try getting a bus- it seemed to work for us. :) My big list item was separating the kids' beds this afternoon- sigh. :) But, Charlotte went to sleep tonight, not Owen, but 50% improvement isn't bad! :) Cheers to you! And, glad for the long comment on my blog- apparently, here I am returning the favor! :)
You forgot one thing--growing happy healthy baby. :)
I love the list. I'm inspired.
Megan.
"Giant Poop"...who wouldn't want to accomplish that in a hard day's work :) Nice work lady!
