Did I sit?

I just stopped to think about my day. It went something like this...
1. Woke up when McKenna must have thought it was morning and time to get up (5:00am)
2. Went back to sleep
3. Woke up when Aaron left for work (6:30 am)
4. Went back to sleep
5. Woke up when the neighbor started the muffler-less(if that is a word) car (6:58am)
6. Made coffee
7. Cut fruit and made breakfast for the kids
8. Got kids dressed for the day
9. Wiped Caleb after a potty break
10. Took Trevor to pre-school
11. Played ladybug game with Caleb and attempted to occupy MJ by pretending to read a story
12. Read a story to MJ
13. Unloaded the dishwasher and set all the dry sippy cups to the side (not sure why we use a dishwasher that refuses to dry anything)
14. Played Caleb's new computer game with him
15. Picked Trevor up from school
16. Washed all the kids hands
17. Prepared lunch for everyone
18. Cleaned the kitchen after lunch
19. Changed McKenna's diaper and wiped Caleb and Trevor after potty break
20. Put Caleb and McKenna down for naps
21. Let Trevor lay and rest while I folded 2 loads of laundry
22. Dyed my hair and rinsed
23. Played Wii with Trevor
24. Did art craft with Caleb and McKenna (not so successfully, but did it nonetheless)
25. Prepared a snack for everyone including washing and cutting fruit up
26. Did puzzles with the boys and attempted to keep MJ occupied while I ran from room to room to read to her and put in puzzle pieces with the boys
27. Paid a few bills
28. Cleaned the downstairs bathroom again (considering Caleb had an accident earlier in there)
29. Prepared dinner for the kids
30. Maintained the screaming and routy kids during dinner
31. Cleaned the kitchen
32. Put away all the sippy cups and wet dishes from the morning
33. Played Duck, Duck Goose
34. Attempted to make a few phone calls about issues with the house
35. Vacuumed upstairs and downstairs
36. Gave all three kids baths
37. Waxed eyebrows
38. Highlighted my newly dyed hair
39. Filed my way over-dued nails (I think it had been months)
40. Changed the sheets on the master bed ( I actually did this yesterday, but McKenna decided to pee on them immediately after bath)
41. Got everyone ready for bed
42. Made milk and water for everyone
43. Undressed and redressed Caleb since he had to pee
44. Put McKenna to bed
45. Listened to her cry and went in twice to check on her
46. Read the boys a story
47. Taught Trevor how to read a new story (he is doing great, by the way) He read a whole new book tonight
48. Put Caleb to bed three times
49. Rinsed out my highlights out
50. Getting ready to put Trevor to bed now
51. Although my day is almost done, I just realized I have not really sat down yet and I still have a few more things to do

I wouldn't change a thing, though. This is the life I chose. This is what I wanted to be. This is a Mom's job. But, the saying is right..."A mother's job is never done..." When you look at these sweet faces, it makes it all worth the while.
