Productivity

Well, what can I say- I feel like I got ran over by a semi-truck. I just ate a giant bowl of ice cream, so I kind of feel like I'm coming-to again. I feel like that chocolate-carmel-fudge icecream was necessary with all that I accomplished today. I keep myself busy normally, but today was extra productive.

Today I:
  • Fed three kids breakfast.
  • Threw some make up on.
  • Dropped one off at school.
  • Dropped one of at a cousins house.
  • Ate breakfast in the car.
  • Drove into town to take Mackenzie to the Dermatologist for a cyst on her leg.
  • Deposited Ryan's paycheck.
  • Picked up Cole and Gavin (said cousin) from Aunt Debbie's house.
  • Organized and filed paperwork.
  • Got baby girl down for a nap.
  • Fed lunch to three kiddos.
  • Ate lunch while watching the kids play.
  • Went and picked up Tucker from school.
  • Wiped five poopy bums (yes, I included my own in that one.)
  • Came home and got snacks for T and C.
  • Got all three kiddos down for naps.
  • Attempted to take a nap, but couldn't because poor Tucker's cough is still lingering and it kept waking me up.
  • Came up with our menu for the next week.
  • Went through weekly grocery adds to get grocery/food storage list ready.
  • Got price-matching list ready.
  • Fed three kids dinner.
  • Had family home evening.
  • Loaded kids up and went to wal-mart.
  • After an hour and a half of shopping with all three kids at bedtime and one lost binky, we barely survived that grocery trip.
  • Got home and unloaded groceries.
  • Changed 2 diapers and got jammies on all three.
  • Brushed their teeth.
  • Read scriptures as a family and said a family prayer.
  • Got all three kiddos in bed.
  • Kissed the owies of the kid trying to stay awake by inspecting his whole body trying to find any visible injury.
  • Got a tissue for that same over-tired child who found another owie a few minutes later.
  • Got the escapee back into bed.
  • Sang my babies to sleep.
  • Finally, ate dinner of left-over enchilada soup, carrots and ranch, and a large bowl of chocolate ice cream.
I am sitting here half-alive pondering if I honestly can get myself to workout at 11 pm. I think I might just sit here and think about how I am going to get my butt kicked in bootcamp tomorrow morning and pass out with the news on and my make-up still on.



*Please note, I am so grateful for this crazy schedule I am blessed to have. I am just stating the fact that I am straight-up pooped. But seriously, I love being a wife and mother!!!




Hahaha. Tucker! I just got that helmet at a garage sale and he was obsessed with it. And Cole looks like a manchild in this pic. Annnnd.... they were eating some yummy kettle corn that I made with my new Whirley Pop!


He is OBSESSED with her. He practically had to drag her over there to their "hiding spot" under our glass table. : )
