I am sitting on my favorite spot on the couch right now looking around my living room. There are veggies from Lilly's dinner in odd places, naked babies strewn about, pull-ups that were taken off by Lilly because she wanted to be naked, 2 baskets of laundry to be folded (and there is more in both the washer and the dryer), play food and dishes scattered around, and I cannot see them but I know that there are dirty dishes in the sink and cat litter to be changed.
My hubby is out at a Mets game and I was home by myself with Lilly tonight. She was having a really hard day. I think she was still recovering from our chaotic, crazy weekend as well as 2 vaccines this past week. I felt like I was cleaning all day. I mopped the kitchen floor, did a little food shopping, ran the dishwasher, put in several loads of laundry, gathered some of the garbage (hubby did 95% of that) and cleaned out my car.
So I guess I am wondering what I did all day that I still have so much to do at 11pm. I spent a lot of time putting out fires a.k.a. helping Lilly calm down after tantrums and part of this evening catching up on Parenthood on my dvr. But I did a lot even so. Oh well. I guess it is just the life of a mom.

Oh, man, I know what you mean! Sometimes, at the end of the day, I wonder how my to-do list can still be so LONG even though I was moving non-stop for pretty much the entire day! And then I look at the list of stuff I have to do for work and it makes me just want to sit down and cry. At least I can laugh about it now! Wished you lived closer - I'll bet our kids would be great friends, and we could swap baby sitting! :-)
Yep I know the exact feeling. Usually at 10pm every night I think I didnt get this done and that done. The list just piles up. Lol
Oh Jen I so wish we lived closer! I bet they would be such good buddies! I am planning on going up to visit my brother and SIL once I am on break and I will definitely plan to visit with you, too.
Danielle, I am so glad I am not alone. My hubby thinks I have too many expectations, lol.
