Look!
Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
No.
It's Superman! Er, um. Correction. It's Super Brandi!
At least that's how I'm feeling today and I'm patting myself on the back for it, even though I am well aware that there are plenty of women who do these very things on a daily basis.
Is there anything wrong with a little self-approval? I don't think so, but I'll let you be the judge.
Here's what I accomplished on this fine day:
Before 7:45 I had exercised, showered, dressed, eaten, checked email, and corralled three kids into a waiting van.
I delivered two children to the public school system by 8:05 and then participated in a volunteer work until 4:00 with my home schooler.
I then managed to do one load of laundry, sweep the kitchen floor, make fajitas with a homemade blend of spices (one of these spices happened to be "borrowed" from the nice neighbor lady), check my email, help my eldest complete a writing/speech assignment, help my middle child create an accurate, scale model of the solar system which involved cutting out 16 miniature stars (which I was forced into doing because she kept lopping off the points of the stars and was on the brink of a meltdown), and convincing my youngest that he was indeed, not going to die from eating fajitas for supper instead of a bowl of cereal. (For the record, his supper ended up consisting of a pile of shredded cheese and 7 olives).
We ate supper while playing a "guess the number I'm thinking" game which the kids think is hilarious. (particularly when Matt guessed my number (33) and I shrieked and told him to get out of my brain). After supper the kids and I cleaned up the kitchen, put away the leftovers and I mopped the living room floor.
I assembled an order for a client, checked email (do you see a pattern forming here?), ordered teeth brushing and bedtime to the kids and finished editing this session...
Stop. Observe. Sigh.
Oh. My. Breathe in. Breathe out. Who needs relaxation techniques with babies like this?
All in all I think it's been a very successful, if not hectic day....and it's only just now nine o'clock.
I still have time to lay in bed and read a new book.
Up, up and away!

Awww they are so cute. You are super B!
I think the fact that you did all this before 9pm is amazing. But you need to work on baby boys diet:) And myself and my coworkers totally think these pics are amazing. Rocking the natural light. Didn't think you could improve on your baby pics, but once again I'm wrrrroooonnnggg, sorry that was tough to say:)
Amazing! The one in the middle is like my all time favorite! I think what I like most about it is that his little eyebrows are raiseed and that gives him a little expression that is just too cute!
WSMIL: You are at work and on this? Shame, shame, shame! C-ya tonight!
Ahhhhh......as I am eating a margarita flavored jelly bean! And my sister is eating a pina coloda flavored one!
Hmm..... Dr. Pepper.
Toasted Marshmallow.
Strawberyy Cheesecake! The best so far.
I think there is nothing wrong with self approval. And yes many of us do most of those things each day. I think I am most impressed by the exercising(I never ever do that one) and the picture with the little fingers sticking up in the air. I love baby fingers, they are so cute and perfect and tiny. And about the dinner for your little number 3 some of us understand the difficulty of getting a little boy to eat anything. Sometimes mine practically live on cereal and cheessticks. I just remind myself that soon they will be eating machines that will consume roughly their weight each day and will not care what it is.
Lunsford once again speaks the truth. G says when Matthew became a teenager their food bill doubled. So I guess you should enjoy him being a cheap feed for now:) Because soon he will bring all his little friends over with big appetites and they will eat you out of house and home. And then where will go to get our daily blog fix:)
PS: wormy where else did you think I was when I do that, don't you know the law of 15 min breaks:)
Amen to WSMIL! Anytime i get a break i check on b's blog. So....ya i kind of gets lots of breaks in my only computer class-desktop publishing-so....i am so thankful. Unfortunately, it wont be this way next year.
We had 6 boys in our house, you want to talk about a feed bill? My dad use to say "this is not a resturant, you'll eat what is on the table!"
We did, and if you didn't like it, you kept that to yourself. Good times, good times.
WSMIL- just make sure that 15 min don't turn into 16,17,18,19...remember what we studied two weeks ago.
I'm impressed. I would have wanted to do what the baby was doing by the end of the day. All hail Super B!
