Pictoral Journey- a day in the life of ME!!

The other day I was feeling bad because I had failed to stand guard at Jesse's desk and something got broken. As I was pondering why I had not been there I decided to make a pictoral journey of my day. So here it is....

Make Bark for friends and neighbors...
Clean up Dallin after he tried to clean his own diaper and strip my bed to wash it all off...
Wash 3 loads of linens that Ashley and her friend covered in hairspray and talcon powder (they are now grounded!)....
Break bark...
Pick up the toy that underwent Jaden's surgery and lost all it's stuffing....
Cut the boys' hair and sweep it up (along with the candy they ate during the torture treatment)...
Bathe the boys and clean up the flooded bathroom floor...
Clean up the toilet paper Jaden threw behind the toilet...
Switch the laundry with lots of help from Dallin...
Label cards for friends and neighbors...
Do the dishes...
Spend an hour on the phone with K12 to get my computer running right (darn those PCs- sorry PC lovers!!)...
Remove 3 phonics magnets that were helping jam the printer...
Bag the bark...
Bandage Jaden's knee...
Make PB&J's for the kids' dinner (thanks to a lovely sore throat I can't eat solids)...
Take out the trash...
Go deliver the Christmas cards and bark...
Hoping they are tired and go to bed easily so that I can spend an hour with my husband who has received regular updates by phone.
Yes, this is what our year has been like. As usual, life is full of fun and adventure (even if it isn't the adventure we dreamed of before we had 3 lovely children).
Merry Christmas!

  1. I admit it, I haven't kept up on many blogs as no has posted regularly! I love the recap of your day and I know it's kind of mean, but It makes me just a bit happier knowing that I am not the only Mom who has days like that! :) I think a padded locked room sounds great sometimes! :) I hope you plan on visiting soon! By the way..your hair has really grown!! wow!
