November 29, 2008

It's been another busy day around here. I am tired again, but feel so accomplished. I wish I could be this motivated all the time.

My list of accomplishments today include:

  • Changed bed linens
  • Got most of the laundry done
  • Re-organized Caleb's closet and dresser drawers, including sorting out stuff that's too small
  • Cleaned up the basement (it was a disaster)
  • Went to Target once
  • Went to Wal-mart three times
  • Cleaned up kitchen (again)

The Wal-mart thing was a bit annoying. I went in the early afternoon to get a few things and ended up buying a new bow for the top of our tree. All the bows we've used in the past I've made myself, but this one has lights. I could have made one like that myself, but didn't want to take the time to do it. Anyway, when I was there I found ribbon for the tree (we use that instead of garland) that matched the bow. Well, it ended up not being enough so I went back to get some more and of course they didn't have anymore of that kind. So, I went to a different Wal-mart and of course they didn't have it either so I had to pick out a different one.

Michael and his dad worked outside most of the day. They bought a bunch of mulch to put down in our bare areas of the yard. We do this under the kids' play ground, where the swimming pool goes in the summer and up on our hill. It prevents things from getting too muddy with the late fall/winter and early spring rain/sleet/snow that we get each year. The kids were outside most of the day, too. Caleb's training wheels on his bike are finally off for good.

It's been a busy day, but productive and I'm happy and satisfied with it all.
