So, I'm bragging to my blog. Because the only people who read this anyway are people who understand that I like verbal affirmation and they don't care if I brag because they like me so much that they even like my bragging. So there.
Today I did a lot of things. I'm going to make a bulleted list, for my own enjoyment.
- 3 loads of laundry (including the delicates load where I found the suit that I was a little freaking out about having lost - how exactly did I lose a suit? I thought I did. So glad I have a washable suit. It is very, very cute on me and also washable - so a huge victory that I found it.)
- Put away 6 piles of clothes in my own bedroom (a pile is defined: "as tall as you can stack without falling over" - so another great victory), including my husbands clothes partly. That was very nice of me, I even hung up the shirts that he can iron.
- Purged an entire full garbage bag from my closet (I hate putting clothes in garbage bags, but because I do not shop, I have no nice bags to put them in) (including 8 bras? that was amazing. How-ever do I have so many that do not fit me? Well, I guess it's attributable to pregnancy, nursing and the remarkable weight loss that nursing causes in me. I kept 3 extra cute ones just in case the "milks" have some miraculous transformation. Ha - not likely.)
Short break for cursing (in my head since beautiful 10-yr-old sympathetic son is watching me) at the woodburner, poking and prodding the stupid log that was seriously in flames just 3 minutes ago, dusting the stupid woodburner dirt off my knees and back to my stupid perch on the not-even-cozy (but at least I scrubbed floors yesterday for the first time since spring maybe) floor in front of the stupid woodburner. Sorry about all the stupids.
- Ground the flour and baked an entire decent-looking loaf of bread. Ground more flour and have rising another loaf's-worth for dinner's pizza crust. Planned carrots/dip (oh yes, Kefir cheese ranch dip from yesterday's impressive list) and salad and maybe grapes to go with the one measly pizza that we will too-fast devour without some kind of side dish.
Short break to roll the offensive log to the back and stack a little boy-scout tripod of kindling onto the inept glowing coals hiding underneath. I think I shall use only kindling. I hate logs. Forevermore I will just sit in front of this woodburner, load it with tiny sticks of flamable kindling and read blogs about other people's accomplishments and deep thoughts.
- I took a shower - with cute girl almost 2. I had some clear thoughts in there about my business. Hopefully I will remember them when I'm done venting here and maybe do them.
- I administrated independent-workers aged 10, 8 and 7 to do the work on their lists and be happy about it. I fed them breakfast and lunch and read them a beautiful chapter of Pollyanna upon waking. Got everything done on their school lists except the science notes I did not dictate to them.
- I drank 2 cups of coffee. I ate a real lunch and an inadequate but wholesome butt-of-bread breakfast.
- I read a chapter in a good book to myself this morning and prayed a little bit during and after and since.
- I turned on an old CD in the kitchen rather than blowing my top in the kitchen.
- I called 4 people on my list and left 4 messages, while folding laundry.
- I remembered that almost-2's need naps. So what if it was 3:30 and my husband already home, dang it.
- I cleared my calendar to better fit hunter's hunting schedule, got a nice thank-you for that.
- I remembered that I need a sitter 6 nights from now and actually procured one before the night-before - this is a new record in sitter-planning for me.
OK - fire barely burning but I'm feeling a little better. Thanks.
