done did

on wishstudio last week was this post.  i spend so much time running around trying to get things done off of my to do list that i'm often disappointed to look down at the end of the day and realize i didn't get much done.  i've been known to write down the things i did do just so that i can have the satisfaction of crossing more items off of my list.  so today, i'm posting my done did list.  all of the things i did today, nevermind what was on the actual list.

  • got up early and ate breakfast with the wild things
  • caught up on emails and facebook
  • got 4 children and myself dressed, down to coats and shoes
  • addressed, weighed, and stamped 3 packages
  • ran to the bank to deposit moolah
  • threw gummi worms to the wild things in between stops in the car
  • got my oil changed and managed kids in a mechanics shop
  • rejoiced in the fact that they vacuumed my van!
  • got to post office and mailed off said packages
  • went to del taco for lunch despite not wanting to
  • watched the kids play at the playland and was surprised to run into an old friend, making the lunch time much more pleasurable.
  • received good news about my dad's sextuple bypass surgery and passed on info by phone and email (and quite possibly facebook) to numerous friends and loved ones.
  • read a few articles, including this one that moved me with a sense of humanity and a desire to be more aware of the people that i pass by.  we all need someone to love us.
  • put H down for a nap
  • did school with the kidlets: math and reading today.
  • played zoo and zookeeper, set up a "glasses" shop, made forts and colored pictures
  • loaded kids back up and went to the chiropractor (received treatments while they ran amuck in the waiting room)
  • cooked a frozen lasagna (for shame!)
  • got a few more items photographed for my etsy shop
  • picked up my husband from work and ate a fast dinner (fresh salad balances out frozen lasagna, non?)
  • power yoga at the gym, leaving me feeling freakin' fantastic.
  • another phone call about my dad, bleeding some from the blood thinners they used during the surgery.  did i mention it was a SEXTUPLE bypass?
  • RAN, (well not really ran but drove quickly, but not too quickly so as to avoid a ticket) to amy's house for a renegade RAW night.  praises be, i love these girls.  we each needed the time to decompress our week's activities and emotions. laughed, talked, ate, and strengthened.
  • got home late and snuggled into bed.

praises be, that's a lot of stuff.  sure there were things that were left by the way side, but it was still a very good day.  what's on your done did list?

You are SO productive. Especially since I bugged you 45 times throughout the day.
