Some of my friends have been putting together a list of things they do in their day, either just writing one down or picture documenting it, and I thought I should do it too. Not because I would be taking pictures at all today (ha ha ha, like I could remember/juggle that for a whole day) but because I think it might be nice for my kids to one day look back and realize what their mother did all day. So here it goes.
This is my list for September 1st 2011

Granted, it's only 4:00pm right now, so some of this hasn't happened yet, but it will happen, because it always does. This is my day today. Not too busy actually. I've had worse. :) Anyway, there you go my child reading this in the future. This was my life, and this will be yours too. Just know that I did it first. And mom, I love you. Thanks for doing this with me.
