The art of being productive...

Yes, it is 1:56 am and my day is just now ending. Why am I not bothered by this? Because I was majorly productive today. As I was showering 10 minutes ago, I reflected on all I had accomplished, and decided to blog it...just so I could see it in writing. So here is my list in no particular order: Got up, changed Ophelia, changed Aiden, dressed Aiden, dressed Ophelia, fed Ophelia her bottle, fed Aiden, Tommy, and Bella donuts ( I know I know). Laid Ophelia down for her morning nap, got myself looking presentable, Ophelia wakes, had a parents as teachers meeting, made pb sandwiches, string cheese, and gogurt for for Bella, Tommy, and Aiden (Bella had a 1/2 day today, so she skipped for a day with mommy!), sent Tommy to school, got Ophelia laid down for another nap, taught Bella how to sew on a mini sewing machine, helped her make a pet bed for Lillie's toy cat. Now this is where the multitasking kicks in, so the next events all happen simultaneously (or randomly as the day progresses), complete 4 loads of laundry, make a taco dinner, start and finish a 20 page wedding scrapbook for Tabithia's sister, change at least 8 more diapers-3 being poopie, give kids snacks, get Bella ready for dance class, feed baby 4 more times, sweep and mop the kitchen, do 2 sink fulls of dishes, clean my craft room, clean living room, and shower...I feel I can now go to bed satisfied. My only question is, how come when I just had Bella, I never got anything done? As I progressively have had more children, I have become more productive- I really don't get it. The key to getting your all your tasks done in one day and still have time to blog is obviously having 4 kids! Woo Hoo for me, Char, Melissa, and Adrienne- you too soon Tina!!!

It's so true - what did we do with our time before we had four crazy kids? Surely, we were bored! ha!
