"All I Ever Wanted, All I Ever Needed, Is Here In My Arms"

I feel like a rock star today.

Changed a really nasty diaper.
Did the laundry.
Did the dishes.
Fed the kids.
Put away toys.
Shined the kitchen sink.
Cleaned the bathrooms.
Got the candy cane out of Reese hair without having to cut it.
Changed all the bedding.
Swept the floors.
Vacuumed.
Discovered Pandora.com (seriously, where have I been?)
Got the kids to take their meds (see: ear infection central)
Lugged the trash to the curb
Dealt with Reese's temper tantrum (all because her socks were too small)
Sanitized the (very stinky) diaper pail
Attempted to teach Quincy who Bono is.
Packed up the Halloween decorations.
Scheduled lunch with Kasey over at our dear friend, Maria's.
...and it's only 10am
I know it's stuff I do every day, and the list will start all over again tomorrow (and probably involve another stinky diaper), but still, I love it.
What a nice day this is turning out to be.

Now I'm going to go snuggle with my children and read, "If You Give a Pig a Pancake"

I looooove Pandora! It's always on my laptop at work unless I'm listening to KGO. And...there's nothing so satisfying as getting a nice list of accomplishments done and rewarding yourself a little snuggle time with your kids. Good job!

Girl, you make me look bad! I actually took a little me time this morning since I haven't felt well. Now I'm wishing I'd spiffed up my house like you did. Good for you!

And the song is Depeche Mode...finishing the verse with "Words are very unneccessary...they can only do harm..." Hmmm...think I'll play that CD in the car when I run errands in a bit!

Wow! Please come use some of that energy at my house. All I have done is talk to my sis for like and hour then my mom the same, gave the kids a bath, made me a breakfast sandwich. Sat down to my computer while I eat and that has taken me 3 hours. Do you alsways accompish so much. I need something to get me going. Maybe I'm depressed who knows I live in a dark basement and it snowed yesterday! And I have a bugger of a cold!

That is extremely impressive! All by 10 am?! I'm totally impressed. : ) I'm lucky if I get all that done in a week, let alone in one morning!!

Let me assure you all that every day is not this productive! Today was just catch up day.

Anne, just the thought of listening to KGO makes me feel just a little bit sleepy, as it was on the radio every morning on the way to school for most of my childhood years.

"KGO-oooooo. news. talk. 8. 10...."

WHAT are candy canes doing in your house the week after Halloween? I know they're selling them already, but come on!

ENJOY THE SILENCE!
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

Wow! You are my hero. If I accomplished that much by ten every day it would be a miracle!
