Maybe I don't give myself enough credit.
Ever feel like you've run around chasing your tail all day and have nothing to show for it? Well I don't know about you but I have alot of those days so today I decided to list everything I accomplished:
- Daily bible reading

- Cleaned up the mess from breakfast.
- Made 2 dozen pumpkin muffins for tomorrow's Church fellowship
- Topped the muffins with cream cheese frosting.
- Made 1 dozen muffins & and a small loaf of choc. chip pumpkin muffins for home.

- Had the boys go through all their shoes/slippers/boots/sandals/sneakers to determine what fit, what didn't and what I need to get for the summer.
- Put new comforters on the boys beds.
- Spent a half-hour putting away alot of our winter stuff that doesn't fit in the drawers and closets with all the summer stuff that's now occupying them.
- Wrote out some checks and mailed them.
- Served dinner
- Cleaned up after dinner.
- Got clothes ready for me and the boys for Church tomorrow.

Anway, it was only after I put it in writing did I realize that perhaps I DID get a few things done. And while I didn't get nearly as much done as I would have loved to - I need to be good to myself and remember that I'm not Superwoman and can only do so much. Therefore, I'm gonna reward myself with a long hot bath - in my now squeakly clean tub!

3 much apprecitated comments from readers!:
WOW!! That's a long list.
Right now, I'm getting catered food - a luxury most Malaysian housewives enjoy. The caterer delivers the food to our house daily. I find that when I don't cook, I do get a lot of things done!!
Just reading this exhausted me. You are AMAZING!
You are an amazing mom and wife!
Isn't it crazy to see a list of what you have done in a day. I did this once. It's nuts!
