We have done this a few times and it always seems to be pretty inspirational and motivational!
Today so far in addition to feeding and taking care of Nora, I have:
Unpacked a HUGE box from the move,
Dusted my book shelf
Re-organized the bookshelf
Vacuumed the Living room
Started a load of laundry
Sorted through 6 sacks of clothes from friends and family
Shampooed the carpet in the living room and hallway.
Got some things moved to the upstairs office that needed to be out of the living room.
Stuck a roast in the crock pot
Took the vacuum out to the garage/workshop to continue cleaning in there- I think I ruined the new belt I just put on today! Dang!
Washed some curtains
Started another load of laundry
Dealt with the Supreme Tempertantrum at 4pm (this is becoming a routine)

I like this thread! I'm feeling better about my day already!
4 am Woke up and thought nasty thoughts about the birds causing a commotion outside my window.
Drove carpool to school
Drove Kindergarten and 1st graders on our last field trip of the year to see 3 mares and their new foals
Off work early, cleaned out my classroom
grocery store, post office, two thrift stores, coop for duck feed, salt blocks, wormer, and vaccines for my horse
Fed my sourdough "mother" (OF course!)
laundry, clean house a bit, water/weed a bit outside
pick up kids from school
chiropractor visit, stop at the Wal marts,
home to hassle oldest son about his final homework
made brownies for youngest son's class party
made cute little graduation candies for the 8th graders graduating from our small private school tomorrow night!
I'm ready for bed!

When the little ones aren't feeling well it takes twice as long to do anything!
Today I:
Had to break out the carpet cleaner after my kitty threw up all over my daughters bedroom! Fun!
Decided might as well clean the other carpet while it is out
Multiple times had to referee arguments between my two youngest kids
Went to the grocery store (for a kitty brush and hairball remedy!)
Cleaned the kitchen and did a load of dishes
Made homemade laundry soap.... yea me!
Did a few loads of laundry AND folded them
Sat down and watched a show with my kids while contemplating if I ACTUALLY needed to COOK dinner!
Checked out the forum for ideas
The worst part? When my husband gets home from work he is only going to notice what I didn't do! So writing it here made me feel like I did do something!
Thanks for starting the topic Alee! Oh... and don't worry too much about the ultimate tantrums. Just wait for preteen hormones! That is where my daughter is lately. Oh the "drama"! :)

We had beautiful weather today - finally!! We went to Cabela's and bought a fire ring and put in a fire pit in our backyard. I'm looking forward to using that this evening. Then I did some yard work, made muffins, hung out a load of clothes, and just made sandwiches for dinner. A nice relaxing sunny Sunday!

*off to make spaghetti for supper

These topics sometimes make me feel terrific, like I've accomplished a lot. And sometimes they make me feel like a slacker. :)
Today I...
Packed a lunch for my hubby
Washed the sink full of dishes
Fed and watered my pet chickens
Opened the greenhouse and watered the plants in there.
Went to work for 9 hours, where I did lots of stuff. :)
After work, I sat down for a few minutes and caught up on a couple of websites.
Then I planted a row of artichokes.
Spread mulch along half of the raspberry bed.
Sat outside in my swing for a while enjoying the beautiful starry/cloudy night.
Finally got dinner on the table around 9.
Had a good chat with my husband.
Now I'm relaxing for a few minutes before bed.
Though, I should be cutting up seed potatoes.

Aww poor kiddos, Elizabeth! I hope they feel better tomorrow!
I am going to be watching my niece tomorrow while my sister runs errands in Billings, so I might not do much tomorrow.

Today was a BAD day! All three kids are sick with a cold which is making them cranky and the baby is also getting a tooth in so his gums are so swollen and I can tell it is hurting him a lot. So besides the little things like getting the kids dressed, fed, baby changed and nursed I didn't do anything on the house. I did run to Wal-mart with the kids to get motrin for the baby and dish soap and laundry soap. Bath time is soon to be over so I plan to go fold a load of laundry and then put the baby to bed. I pray that tomorrow goes better! Thanks for starting this thread up Alee, it does inspire me and I'll post tomorrow what I was able to get done!

Debbie-
Write down everything you have done today- even if it was as simple as wiping out the sink with a rag or feeding the dog. You will really see how those little tasks add up and that is where the inspiration really comes in!
