Busy Day as a Stay at Home Mom

Here's a list of things that I got done today: Took shower and did new 10 minute ab workout. Folded 4 loads, washed and dried, but did not get folded 2 more loads. Made egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast for me and waffles for Natalie & Bailey. Picked up and vaccummed downstairs to get ready for physical therapist visit. Spent 45 minutes working with Natalie and the therapist. We were trying to get her to walk across the room pushing a walker toy. She did it 5-6 times, yeah Natalie! Made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Browned ground beef and made chili for dinner. Got Joseph and Taylor started on their home work when they got home and took Natalie upstairs to lay down for a short nap. Natalie nursed and I dozed for 1/2 hour when I realized that I wanted to sleep more than Natalie. I got up and took her downstairs to Taylor and went back to bed for another 1/2 hour. Got up and made cornbread to go with the chili for dinner. Dished up chili into bowls and took Natalie, Bailey, Joseph & Taylor on the run. Left Rachel home to fend for her self and to wait to be picked up by a friend for volleyball practice (6:30-8:30). Dropped Taylor off about 30 minutes early at gymnastics(5:00), drove across town during rush hour to get Bailey to the first T-ball practice(5:30) for 40 minutes, drove back across town in not so ruch hour traffic to get Bailey back to gymnastics for her class(6:30-7:30), went to Best Buy with Joseph & Natalie while Bailey was in class and got a brand new digital camera to replace the one that quit working this weekend (it was only 6 weeks old), picked up Mallory from her boyfriend's house(8:00), picked up Rachel from volleyball practice(8:30), took Mallory, Joseph & Bailey home, then back out with Rachel and Natalie to pick up Taylor at gymnastics(9:00). Last we stopped at the grocery store in
the way home to pick up a few much needed items (cereal, quick & easy dinners for next few nights, dish washing liquid, etc.) Put away groceries and spent an hour trying to get Natalie to settle down and go to sleep (unfortunately she catnapped in the car while we were
driving all around). Read and typed this email. Time to go to bed, I'm exhusted from my day away from work. LOL
