In the End...

• Everybody made it to school on time -- even though it took us running in 100 degree weather (in the morning and me pushing a double stroller in flip flops) to accomplish that
• Grocery shopping for the week was checked off my list -- after a fight with the cashier over a coupon discrepancy and, oh yeah, I forgot to buy eggs
• I went to my step aerobics class -- arriving 5 minutes late and leaving 10 minutes early. But a workout is a workout!
• That dust pile that I had gathered 10 times today (and was consequently dispersed 10 times by my naughty toddler) finally made it to the trash can.
• The dishwasher was unloaded -- right before I loaded it again with the dinner dishes -- better late than never!
• The clean load in the dryer was finally taken out after the "enhanced touch up" button was pushed 3 times -- don't ask me if they've been folded yet
• The kids were fed -- a nutritious meal of hot dogs and grapes
• I didn't eat all of the ice cream while watching 2 Glee episodes back to back -- just a large portion of it. (I think that negates the workout)
• I said "I Love You" to each of my kids while tucking them into bed and I genuinely meant it.
