Since Tuesday was a complete disaster day learning day as a mother, and because I spent at least half my day on my knees in prayer begging the Lord to help me feel a little more successful.... My Wednesday was blessed. It was a good day, a lot was accomplished including play time and many moments of thanks sent heavenward for answered prayers. I'm incorporating this fabulous idea from this amazing woman: Meg Johnson.
My Ta-Da List for Wednesday:
 |
clearly putting make-up on wasn't on the list.
|
*Put away three loads of laundry
*bathed, fed, and dressed all three kids - including french braids in Layla's hair
*Dropped Layla at pre-school
*Stopped at the bank
*Grabbed a dirty diet coke at the drive-thru (most important part of surviving Costco)
*Costco run with the boys
*Visited with a friend at costco
*returned an item to Deseret Bo0k
*Home and unloaded a million groceries
*walked over to pick Layla up from school
*Fed the kids
*Dressed Layla in ballet attire and dropped her off at ballet class
*Delivered books from my book party to 7 houses
*Picked Layla up
*Read stories to 3 very tired and cranky kids
*Tucked them into bed
*Blogged
*Cleaned/vacuumed/dishes (remember all those sippy cups I ignored... they had to be done eventually)
*Made an actual dinner
*Spent a few hours helping Layla write a letter to santa (I'll post about that tomorrow, the cutest thing EVER)
*Played cars with the boys
*At dinner as a family
*Watched a movie with the kids
*Tickled the kiddos and read bed time stories
*Dressed 3 wiggly kids in jammies
(I was exhausted by this point and my dear Kday finished up the teeth brushing and tucking in routine)
*Typed new class lists, room assignments, and door signs for our 2014 Primary Children
Whew, that's a typical weekday around these parts and I do very much love it. Very much. And as much as I know that people will judge me for my bad days, I continue to write without bias. I trust that those who know anything about the reality of parenting 3 beautiful children will understand that there are bound to be some rough days but that those bad days don't discredit the immeasurable amount of love I have for this job. It's worth every drip of blood, sweat and tears.

So glad yesterday was a "good day". We all have ups and downs, but Mom's in particular. If we can try to not take it out on those around us, we will be golden- straight to the Celestial Kingdom in my book. You, Aaron, April, and Jordan all grown up, but still, a mother's day is only as good as her saddest child- no matter how old they get! Don't guess I will ever outgrow being a mom.
Good thing "Kday" really pitched in there ;).
