Today I've spent the entire day doing laundry. The last couple of weeks I haven't had the time to get caught up on our laundry ... I just can't figure out where all of my time has been spent. Most moms can say that they have been running their children to and from school, to their piano lessons, to their church activities, to their sports activities, etc. I, on the other hand know that we have "done" school everyday the last two weeks (yay!), we've gone to group classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, we've had church activities, and singing classes. But, I cannot account for our Monday and Friday afternoons! Normally, I do laundry on Mondays, but I just haven't had the time to do it the last few weeks, and I have no idea why.
So, today, I spent all day folding laundry and switching loads between the washer and dryer. And, what were my children doing during this time? Honestly, I have no idea. I think they watched some tv or something. But, I feel so confident in my Eliza and Kate. They were with their younger siblings, and the house was still clean enough to have people over that night after the adult session of stake conference. In fact, Eliza texted Jon during the meeting and asked when we were be home so she would know how much time she had to finish the cleaning.
That is the sign of a great babysitter: one who takes care of the children, and cleans up the mess when they are finished. Love this girl:

I'm not commenting on all of your gratitude posts, but I *am* reading them and loving each one. I am learning so much about you and it just makes me admire you so much more. I know you're not perfect ;) , but I love that you are honestly trying to do your best. Some days I don't feel like I'm trying enough. Reading your gratitude posts has made me want to rethink how I spend my "me" time...I'm constantly working on it, it seems.
Anyway, thank you for all of these wonderful posts...
