OK, so I wasn’t quite a couch potato – I mean I never reclined on the couch, but it was one of those rare days in which I did not leave the house. My bare feet pitter-pattered to the garage a time or two for water from the extra fridge, more paper towels, toss out trash, but that’s it.
There were a few things accomplished early in the day. I cleared everything off the kitchen counters and did a deep clean of the counter tops and stove-top. Mid-day was calm. Z’s niece (whos’ the same age) came over for a few hours this afternoon and I managed to chat with my hubby for a while in between buttoning Cinderella costumes, taping tiara’s back together, and making grilled cheese sandwiches.
I really needed to go to the grocery store but I just couldn’t get the momentum to make the trip. We needed milk, OJ, butter, bread (you know, the basics) and several more things. I was even craving chocolate and that didn’t get me out the door. So, we had ground sirloin patties, lima beans and steak fries for dinner. All the things just waiting in my freezer saying, “Pick me! Pick me!” I did. And it was good.
After cleaning up from dinner, I made my way upstairs and separated laundry and I’m now on the second load in the washer. G is with Z as she is heading off to dreamland, and I’m writing this post.
I’ve changed my mind as I’ve been writing. I DID do a lot of things today – I just didn’t do them in a stressful, hurried manner (which is usually the case). I was not a couch potato in the least. I think this photo is far more fitting.
Yeh, and my body really looks like that too!

Dude.
You cleaned countertops.
You fixed tiaras.
You had conversation with hubs.
You made a kickin’ dinner.
You did laundry.
You are my hero. That IS a super-mom day in my book too!
Sounds like you had a wonderful…busy….working….family day. I am sure Wal-Mart didn’t miss. It is good to have days to just stay home and accomplish the “frog things.”
