Accountability, productivity and cuteness

2008-07-10 / 10:05 a.m.

Yesterday was a really productive day. Here is a list of all that I accomplished:
-4 loads of laundry washed, folded and put away.
-cleaned the kitchen
-changed sheets on our beds
-brought down next size of hand-me-downs for Bg2 from attic. Went through and pulled out a bag for goodwill, put a way what would fit her, boxed up what she has grown out of.
-went through girls room/toys
-cleaned out refridgerator

The girls played beautifully all day yesterday. They played with their kitchen, played babies, had a picnic, etc. They did a really good job and I was really proud of them.

A couple days ago, I got our baby swing down from the attic and all cleaned up. I have offered to watch our neighbors new baby on several occasions and thought it would help to have this ready. It's in the office right now and Bg2 likes to put her baby in it. She pushes her, talks to her and gives her kisses in the swing - SUPER CUTE! It made me think that I would love to get her a baby cradle for Christmas. I had a great one that I LOVED, but I don't think my mom has it anymore. I wish I would have kept it for the girls. Bg2 is so into playing with her dolls that I know she would love it. Bg1 is getting a big-girl bike. I know it's crazy for me to already be thinking of Christmas presents, but I can't help it. Maybe I could look in thrift shops, garage sales or ebay for a cradle. They don't make them like they used to, and I can only image what they charge for one now days.

I think I might take the girls to the park today. It would be nice to get out of the house and I know they would have a blast. I tried to call a friend yesterday to see if she wanted to go with us, but haven't heard back from her. I'm just in a rut lately and need to do something to change things up a bit.

Also, I have started back on WW. I am counting points again. I was doing really well and then it kind of fell to the wasteside. But, I have been inspired by my friend Andrea and so I will start again. Typing this only makes me more accountable.
