My day of Nothing

fixed breakfast 3 different ways
moped the kitchen floor
cleaned up the pantry with items strewn everywhere from an 18 month old
kissed a neck, tummy and arm to hear my baby laugh
counted as we walked up stairs to learn numbers
clipped coupons
wrote a grocery list and made a plan of attack
tickled a little back
fixed 2 pony tails
fixed 1 mohawk
outsided in kids clothes as someone in my house would say
slathered lotion on kids dry skin
did my hair and makeup for the first time since Tuesday
made 2 beds
did 2 loads of laundry
cleaned the kitchen 2 times
drove through sonic
enjoyed a large Dr. Pepper
rocked a baby to sleep while playing this little piggy
painted 20 toes, and 20 fingernails
read a story
watching the season premire of project runway
payed bills
called on a bill that was $530 over charged
watched and listened to kids fight, and throw fits
ate the best gnocchi for lunch thanks to a friend
let my son pull my hair while making faces to let him laugh
I laughed at my kids
I cried
stressed over a relationship
played brick breaker on my phone
sent an email
did coloring projects with two bored little girls
cleaned up a mess from kids snacks
got angry a few times
put my child in time out
talked about telling the truth
went to the grocery store and bought 20 boxes of cereal and 20 boxes of oatmeal and 15 boxes of granola bars
ordered a nursing cover for the new baby
went to the post office
sat in my car next to my friends so she could run into the store without taking her kids in
laughed on the phone with a friend whos husband just had surgery and is driving her crazy
watched Dora
made 3 bottles
changed 3 diapers
wiped a snot nose countless times
flushed the toilets twice after someone else
picked up a chewed up granola bar off the floor
waisted time on facebook
gave 6 doses of medicine to sick kids
gave 6 breathing treatments to sick kids
brushed teeth of 3 sick kids
had my daughter call my husband to see where he was...since I was counting down the minutes till he would be home

.......that's what my nothing day consisted of.....you know the kind of day that when your husband walks through the door and asks you what you did.....who you talked to.....your response........ " um nothing".
