I've decided when you write down pretty much everything you do in a day you don't feel like you didn't get anything done. I now know what my day is full of. I may not accomplish the big tasks very often but I am busy and shouldn't be so hard on my self.
Those of you waiting for a Jack post, I will try my best to get some current pics up tomorrow. I think I got some cute ones at the game tonight. As for now you'll just have to enjoy my post about me...

I think that taking care of the little ones is the hardest job that I do!!! Now that I am back to work and Jared has to be Mr. mom he would agree with that!!!!
That is a list that you should show your hubby every single day!! My hubby does really well but I still don't think that he fully understand how much that we do in a day, much appreciation is needed. I hope you had a great mother's day!!
I realizied how busy being a stay at home mom was too! You feel like you have gotten nothing accomplished. But all the little things do add up. I don't know that I could be a full time stay at home mom, it is VERY hard work. I admire you!
I have just finished a book about "motherhood" and being content with whatever it is you are doing. I am going to send it to you. One of the lines from the book that sticks out in my mind as I read your post is that those "invisible" things that we do EVERY day, (sometimes several times a day), are the things that are most important. Just think of me "babysitting" 12-14 year olds when you feel like you need a pick-me-up and I'm sure you will feel better about what you get to be doing. :)
