What the Heck did I do Today?

Do you ever have those days, where you ask yourself, "What the heck did I do today?" Well that is so my day. It is 7:11 p.m. and I am Home Alone! (this hardly ever happens) Jonathan took Kendra on a date to watch the Jazz Game and the other three kiddo's are performing for the last night in Beauty and the Beast. I have one hour and 15 minutes before the "Be Our Guest" scene starts, yes I am going to go see it one more time.

So I said to myself "what do you think you can accomplish in one hour?" The timer starts now! I will come back after one hour and report what I have accomplished:

1. The first thing I am going to do is brush my teeth! (oh no, the phone is ringing, that could take up my whole hour) It's OK it was just a solicitor.
   
2. While I was brushing my teeth, I cleaned up all the clutter in the bathroom. My bathroom gets cluttered with make-up, hair accessories, etc. each night as these children rush to get ready for the play. My make-up is trashed. I am going to throw it all away, and buy some new stuff after tonight.
3. I made my bed, I know, I know, you are supposed to make it when you get out each morning, but I wasn't sure if I was going to stay out of it this morning. I was actually hoping for a chance to crawl back in it.
4. I did a load of laundry, well actually it is my 4th! (so I guess I can pat myself on the back for that one, Hurray Jenny!)
5. I put some new hand soap in the bathroom and put a new roll of toilet paper on! This is a huge accomplishment, because I am the only one in my house who knows how to do this most difficult task. I have tried to teach others this skill, but to no avail, I am the only one with the techniques to perform this duty!
6. I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, hey this is the third time I did this today, also!
7. I swept the floor, (I haven't done this since the last time Sawyer was over)!
8. Well, now I have to get ready to go to the play, for the last time. I am going to hurry and vacuum before I leave.

Well, I have come to the realization that you can accomplish a lot in one hour if you don't allow yourself to become sidetracked! So what did I do today you ask? I cleaned up the kitchen after Megan and Nicole made muffins (they are out of school), I watched Pollyanna with the girls (while folding laundry), we baked cookies, we did puzzles races, we set the buzzer for 10 minutes and picked up all the clutter, I made a handout for Primary, helped a friend, talked with my sister on the phone, fixed key chains for a friend, made a really yummy dinner, and had lots of fun along the way. I guess getting sidetracked is part of the journey after all, and I wouldn't want to miss any of it! Well I am off to the play, I can't wait to "Be Their Guest"!
