Miraculously, I DID manage to sweep and wash the kitchen floor, do two loads of laundry, drop off/pick up three kids, walk the dogs, call my mom, and go to the grocery store today, all while feeling guilty about spending too much time with my cyberfriends.

So....what did YOU neglect to do because of, or get done IN SPITE of spending too much time chatting over the electronic fence with us all today?

Have a great weekend!

:)

What can I do next?

I went to the grocery store. Took my oldest child to preschool. Gushed over a Mother's Day card made at preschool. Prepared lunch. Did some classwork. Called my mom. Cleaned the kitchen. Did two loads of laundry. Blew some bubbles. Gave the dog a bath. Walked the dog. Gave my daughter's shark a bath (apparently it was *extremely* important that he get one). Vacuumed. Played with the children. Paid my dental bill. Got a shower and put on my pjs (hopefully no one has plans for me to leave the house later). I haven't folded the laundry yet and my bathroom needs cleaned but, meh...it can wait.

I cleaned up my DVR today while my daughter slept and I did one load of laundry. But instead of doing the rest of the laundry, I'm going to take my daughter to the park to play. Laundry can wait, seeing the smile on my daughter's face when we get to the park can't.

What a fun question. I managed to take the dog in for his shots and for a long walk after, do two loads of laundry, survive another battle of the wills with my teenage daughter, make homemade noodles with my younger daughter, vaccum the downstairs and do 100 sit-ups. Who says we can't have it all?
