To-Do, To-Do, To-Done!

This post is a follow-up to this morning's "Too Optimistic" post. I actually felt like a bit of a slacker after reading some of the comments because it reminded me how gloriously uninterrupted my days are since my kids are at school. (I appreciate this fact most of the time, but still forget how crazy it is to have endless demands from little kids.)


My to-do list is to-done! Why is it so satisfying to check things off like this? Perhaps it's a way of giving myself a little pat on the back since no one else knows what I do all day. I know the kids (and probably Randy too) think I sit at the computer and blog all day, but that's not true.

Today I...


--Scoured the shower and tub, cleaned both bathroom sinks, toilets, floors and washed the bathmats and towels.


--Cleaned out the kids' closet and made a pile of clothes for Lucas, a pile for Adam and Amy's girls, and a pile for D.I. and dropped off the bag there too.


--Finished a 2 page primary newsletter and think it's looks fabulous.
--Sent two good mail packages today.


--Did 2 new listings on Etsy.


--Posted 2 auctions on Ebay.
--Went to Walmart for some groceries and to pick up my photos and drop off plastic bags for recycling.


--Bought a bag of ice from Sonic.


--Raided the house for items to go on top of the armoire AND came up with an arrangement that I think looks decent.


--Helped Whitney with her homework and dropped her off at a friend's house.


--MADE DINNER!! (I do this so rarely that it really deserves all caps.)
--Posted on my blog twice!


Listened to the book Bel Canto the whole time! (I read this book years ago, so it's a treat to listen to it now.)

Not too shabby eh?

**How was your day?
Have you ever documented a day like this?
How did I do with the armoire toppings?**
