So despite the way I have been feeling I must say I've been rather productive. I tacked the fridge, which is never a hard job, just not fun to do. It always leaves my fridge feeling quite empty, but oh so clean. I feel like every time I walk by I'm opening it up just to delight in my efforts.
I also worked on what will be our food storage underneath the stairs. It's not a big area, but it was stuffed to the gills...to the point that if you opened the door stuff would fall on you. It also was a surprisingly easy task. Most things just needed to be taken up to the attic for storage. It felt really good to get that done.
I was also on carpool duty today since the girl that goes to school with Tess was sick. I ended up taking her and picking her up along with the older kids in elementary. Man, all I can say is today I am grateful for carpools. I forgot how much I was in the car last year and I certainly don't miss it. I have a good thing going this year only driving Tess and her friend to preschool 3 days a week. I feel lucky.
I also got some good mail today...Two very nice thank you cards from Kelly and Lisa that made me smile. It has been great getting to know you both. You're right Kelly it is no small miracle finding a friend. I feel so lucky to have found so many in the blogging world.
While making dinner the over ripened bananas kept staring at me so admits my homemade chicken noodle soup efforts I started making banana bread. All I have to say about that was it was so worth it, even though me and the girls made a huge mess with the flour.
Although it doesn't sound like such a crazy busy day it seemed like that to me. I can't wait for the bed. In fact I'm on my way there now. We just put the kids to bed and I think I will read a bit. Such a perfect end to a productive day.

Your fridge looks great. I am grateful for carpooling too. It makes a huge difference when you have that week or day off of driving. I will miss that a lot next year when our friends move away.
Way to go on being so productive. I wish you a good nights rest, sounds like you need it.
I'm sorry to hear you feel so tired. Maybe you're fighting something off -- I hope you feel better tomorrow. Extra driving can really make a day feel crazy. Get a good night's sleep!
It sounds like a crazy busy day to me. I'm impressed that you pushed through the pain of your weariness and cramps and managed to be productive instead. That's so satisfying.
Score on the good mail and the new friends!
Your day sounded astoundingly productive. I am lucky if I get that much done in an entire week! Ahh, the fridge...mine is screaming my name! Hope you get feeling better soon. I hate it when I feel that way, ug.
I love the clean fridge! I'm the same way, I want to fill it since it looks so empty.
I would love to carpool. I hate the running around everyday. Maybe next year we will live by some people that would want to do it. (I'm praying we move by then!)
Very cute cards, I love a cute envelope in the mail. I always get a smile!
UGH. I hate feeling crampy and yucky like that, especially on a busy day. Kids are busy! One day it will settle down (I have faith).
I just have to say that I was looking at some of your scrapbook pages on smugmug today and once again I have to tell you how talented you are. I am so jealous. The amazing facial expressions you capture with your camera are priceless. Is every shot good or do you actually delete some?
Carpools our wonderful things.
Hope you feel better tomorrow. I am impressed with all you got done not feeling well.
I am so impressed that you accomplished all that while feeling yucky! I too, hate cleaning the fridge. Not because it is hard - just something I don't really enjoy. Wish I carpooled with someone! That would make my life so much easier than having three kids and three different school. I LIVE in my car!
Homemade SOUP and banana bread! YUM! Hope you are feeling better!
It honestly sounds like a busy day to me. Organizing & cleaning takes brings great satisfaction, but it's getting started on projects that is difficult. Soooo true that once you get going, they are usually Much faster than anticipated or feared.
Yes, a perfect end, and i love heading to bed feeling like you deserve it, you know? You can lie there reading, on the back of your mind thinking of the closet, fridge, carpool...
Lovely mail - how sweet. And I hope you feel better!
I don't like cleaning the fridge, but I sure enjoy it afterwards! Good work pushing through the pain and tiredness and being productive. That always makes me feel better than resting, even though sometimes it is hard to remember that. Reading in bed is the perfect end to any day, in my book!
That does sound like a crazy busy day to me. Getting more than one project done around the house with three kids, that's busy. Way to go on getting started and just going with it. It's all about momentum!
If my husabnd read this post he would certainly be jealous. I haven't made banana bread in forever and it is a favorite in our home.
Love the clean fridge and storage area. Productive days are the best.
You really did get a ton of stuff done today. You will probably sleep so well. I adore a clean fridge and do the same thing, open, close, open, close, just to see it again and again. I can't ever throw a ripe banana away and smash and freeze them until I get eight to make b. bread as well. It's so worth it and even though WE don't eat it, I have plenty of family and neighbors who will. (I love a slice or two hot out of the oven, but then I'm done.)
