Sometimes I have days where I feel like I didn’t get anything done…then I start a mental list of all of the “ordinary” things that I DID get done…and I think, “geez…I did do a lot today!” And…laundry for six I am finding is a full time job!!! I just found all the baskets full AGAIN…and just finished putting four loads away last night!!! 😉
Glad you could brag a little..I’m not even close to bragging. Had a rough night, so having a rough day – check!
The thing about the laundry is… get all caught up and then look around and see people wearing clothes. There’s some kind of paradox there. Mad props to you on everything you accomplished this day and every day. Well done!
now on the days when you don’t feel like you are getting anything done, you need to come back and read this post and refuse to be discouraged but to pat yourself on the back for all you DID accomplish, and remind yourself that a wave of checked off list kind of days will come again. 🙂
