At least it was a productive day.
Option 1: Tackle massive pile of dirty dishes accumulated throughout a very busy, long day OR
Option 2: Put off tackling mound of dishes in order to feed my sourdough and write about my dishes.
Things I did today:
- Showered (other mothers of many young children will agree that this alone qualifies as a productive day)
- Taught the kiddos
- Baked two loaves of Oatmeal Bread
- Made Potato Corn Chowder (Yum.)
- Baked a batch of Breakfast Cookies – this time with walnuts, dried cranberries and chocolate chips.
- Took all five children to the dentist for cleanings (no cavities :))
- Let the kids play with clay
- Filed and paid quarterly taxes for Blessed Roots Farm
- Created a pile of dishes that spans half my kitchen
- Stepped in poop on a bathroom rug and lost a pair of undies, the rug, and my sock in the incident
- Fed my sourdough starter
A full day, indeed.
Alas, the dishes did not do themselves while I was typing. Guess I better get back to work . . .
First time posting here.Really enjoyed what I have read.From the list it looks like you have done quite a bit.Never worry about the dishes or housework it will get done in time.Just look at it this way when the kids are grown and gone you will miss having all that work of love to do.Always keep the children before housework.
Well said :). I’ll be begging for grandkids in no time!
