Every now and then I like to record all the things that make up a day in my life as a wife and Mom to my 13-, 12-, 10- and 6-years-old crew. I will probably faint from excitement by the end! Here we go, and in no particular order.
In the past 24 hours I've...
- reorganized 3 sets of bureau drawers
- used a plunger (ewwwwww! just ew!)
- listened to a handsome boy's music
- completed 6 loads of laundry AND put away all 6 loads
- swapped out winter clothes for summer ones
- taken 8 walks (and only one was the I've-got-to-get-out-of-here kind!)
- played fetch with the dog
- watched Isabelle zip up and down the street
- dismantled 1/4 of the new rock wall
- tripped over both a large and small rock (while dismantling said rock wall)
- spackled nail holes in the wall
- edited pictures for the yet-to-be-painted frames hanging in the family room
- worked on a new tutorial for a little girl's nightgown
- asked a friend for a favor
- read a few chapters in a library book (that I noticed on the shelf and got because the author's name is also Bethany)
- wished I had my piano here (soon!)
- watched Dora
- chatted with neighbors
- pampered a sick child
- got groceries in record time
- still not put away all the groceries
- smiled at cute pigtails
- made fruit salad for the kids' school snack
- reorganized my closet
- dug holes in front of the house
- taken away privileges for poor behavior
- calmed down Ryder as the Kindergarten bus approached (every.single.time)
- danced up and down over some new seedlings that sprouted
- resisted the urge to buy another plant/flowers (mostly because I had to rush home to sick Caleb)
- watched Isabelle tumble, cartwheel and flip
- had the most fun chatting with the other gymnastic Moms!
- {finally} hung up some of Isabelle's things from our old house
- decided to take the plunge and try to make Hushpuppies (out of my Laura Ingalls Wilder cookbook!)
- ate my Mother's Day M&Ms (small bag, people!)
- held hands with the one I love
- seen Robert Downey Jr pretend to pee in his Ironman suit
- enjoyed a leg/foot massage by not one but two children!
- helped a friend with a favor
- finished an order for 3 matching nightgowns...eek! So cute!
- done 5+ tick checks (only one found, but not embedded...still so gross!)
- met a filmmaker at the pond (that outta-here walk) and discussed the Northern Pass
- giggled watching Isabelle helping me fold towels and washcloths
- made 3 lists
- spoke harshly with a child but later shared a sweet moment together
- prayed for my friends, family, and a few people I'll never know but read their stories and felt compelled to pray
- asked God for help and thanked Him for my life
(sorry about the watermark - I've recently seen some pictures of Isabelle online and it really creeps me out)
What did your day look like?
Hope it was a great one!
