Monday Mojo

Yay for Monday!!! My favorite day of the week! Most people dread Monday mornings, but since I work all weekend and Monday is my day off, it can't come soon enough. Usually, I am super ambitious in my plans to get things accomplished. All weekend long I make lists in my head of what I'm going to get done and then life ends up getting in the way and I never get done as much as I wanted to. So, today I'm keeping track of all things I manage to accomplish on my great day off:

1. got out of bed (hey, you gotta start somewhere;)
2. Austin dressed, lunch packed, homework completed, breakfast made, out the door to carpool by 8! Without a single whine or complaint (BIG accomplishment=)
3. budget and checkbook balanced
4. scheduled online van payment
5. started today's blog post
6. read thru Sunday's paper
7. started dishwasher load #1
8. cleaned out the science experiments from the refrigerator
9. rocked baby Ruby to sleep
10. made beds
11. packed away the Halloween decor
12. caught up Lexi's scrapbook to her 3rd birthday
13. restored order to the living room after our busy Sunday
14. went thru a pile of paperwork that had been sitting in my kitchen cabinet since July
15. picked up Austin and JoJo from school
16. went to the high school for team pictures
17. took back a van~load of recycles
18. put gas in the van
19. played P-I-G and H-O-R-S-E with Austin. (He blew me away all 3 times)

21. made dinner (burritos and spanish rice)
22. cleaned up the kitchen & started dishwasher load #2
23. bathed & jammied all 3 kids

25. re~tucked said hyper kids into bed multiple times after potty breaks, drinks of water, and tattle telling on offending siblings
