A Banner Day

Occasionally I have one of those days when I actually get something done. Today was one of them. Somehow, in the chaos that is my life, I managed to do the following:

- Washed and dried two loads of laundry (did I put it away? of course not).

- Took the house payment by the bank with all four kids in tow.

- Made a trip to Wal-Mart for diapers and milk (side note: I can think about Wal-Mart and fifty bucks is automatically drafted from my account...anybody else ever notice that?)

- Wrote and sent my weekly devotion for www.christiandevotions.us - it will post tomorrow.

- Did Circle Time with the kids this morning - a new habit we're trying to form.

- Nursed the baby three times already (another round coming in a few minutes).

- Taught my four-year-old to write his name.

- Did a full round of school with my Kindergartner this afternoon including: Math, Reading, Writing, and Puzzles.

- Fed and clothed five people including myself - twice!

- Swept beneath the kitchen table (the total weight of crumbs was in the pounds, not ounces, folks).

Even as I write this, I am reminded of all I have not done today. But I refuse to dwell on that because I can get so overwhelmed with all that is left on my to-do list that I forget to celebrate what I have accomplished.

Go on, celebrate with me. What did you get done today?
