A more productive day...
Today we:
Built many castles, houses, dog houses, garages; had numerous birthday parties, slid down slides & ran in & out of the rain - all with Dahlia's little people - all by 8am.
Colored many a picture in the new Princess color book & the Dora color book.
Dug out lots of tiny pink newborn clothes that I am now going to put in the "giveaway" or "sell" pile in the basement. August is clearly a boy & I'm not going to get away with dressing him in purple cupcake onesies as much as I might like. It makes me a little bit sad....but it is time...*sniff*
Fed & pumped - numerous times.
Went for a walk to the playground. It's only 4 blocks down & 3 over but coming back UP the hill pushing the double stroller qualifies as my workout for today.
Ate lunch & executed a perfect "it's now nap time" "No, REST time, Mama" "Okay, rest time."
Read approximatelly 1 1/2 pages in my book.
Called the bank to inquire about a Fix Up Fund loan for NEW WINDOWS which we are in desperate need of (& we'd like to take advantage of that $1500 tax rebate offered in 2010)
Called Home Depot to inquire about custom fauxwood blinds for our kitchen. They beat Penneys killer price of $128 so now I'm thinking we'll go with Home Depot.
Started balancing my checkbook/paying bills (I'm stalling on that by updating my blog right now).
Showered.
Two loads of laundry, one load of dishes & an empty dishwasher.
Scooped 3 litter boxes (yes, we have 3 - the vet recommended one per cat + one extra. It's loads of fun....)
I feel so much better when I get a *few* things done.

i wish part of the stimulus could've helped people retrofit with no-interest loans (windows, roofs, insulation, etc) instead of building/maintaining roads and bridges.
PS your kids are so lucky to have you as a mom.
