One of Those Days

Do you ever have a day where you feel like you've been running around all day long, but as it comes to an end you look around and it doesn't appear you've done anything?  Today is one of those days. Maybe it's just me, but these are the most frustrating of all the days. I'm tired, frazzled and seem to be worse off than when I started.

The kids room that I cleaned just yesterday is now covered in puzzles and dolly clothes. I've been riding the kids all day to pick it up because I'm NOT and I mean NOT going to pick it up again....this time.  They've been in there all day and I really think forcing them to do it is even more exhausting than doing it myself.  But if I don't, they will never learn, right?

I have hamburger thawing as quickly as I can in the sink as the microwave has been down since November.  I still haven't quite figured out what to make with it, but I am thankful it's there.

The dog has likely eaten the eggs from the chickens and ducks because I haven't bothered to bring him back in today and the other dog broke his collar so has been in all day in his crate, minus a few potty breaks.  So, as I'm awaiting my husband to come home, look around and wonder what on earth I did accomplish today, I thought I might quickly ponder what exactly I did do today, if for no other reason than to make myself feel better.

Today I:
Finished making the crock pot re-fried beans and got them portioned and frozen.
Worked on the mechanical turk some
Did two loads of dishes
Washed, dried and put away four loads of laundry
Child trained
Got insurance on the suburban
Made lunch
Making dinner
Installed and filled the new soap,shampoo, bubbles and lotion dispenser
Sorted some mail
Sorted a large pile of fabric items
Beat three levels on bubble safari

Ok, so maybe that last one doesn't count as an accomplishment.  But I'm going to call it a day once dinner is made and enjoy some crown in my diet soda and call it good.  Oh wait, I still need to put the kids to bed and clean up after dinner.  So that is my problem, I'm a sprinter running a marathon.
