Daily chores

Nothing terribly exciting is going on around here. HT felt well enough on Tuesday to go to school again, although he and I both had an intestinal bug yesterday. Mine lasted all day, his was only in the evening and not enough to miss school again. I had worked Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday I basically just sat on the couch all day. It wasn't really what I had planned, but every time I would get up to try to get something accomplished, things got ugly. Today though, I'm feeling motivated and actually getting things accomplished. I'm also realizing, again, the routine of life. I just ran and emptied the dishwasher yesterday, but it needed it again today. Folded two loads of laundry last night and this morning, but had another load to wash and fold this morning. At times it feels so discouraging that, as a mother, there is always more to do and seemingly never enough time to do it. But I keep remembering the song "You're Gonna Miss This" and I know someday I'll be sad that the only clothes to fold belong to my husband and me, and it will be several days between dishwasher runs because he and I won't use nearly as many dishes by ourselves. I told them all yesterday that my four favorite things (including my wonderful husband) were all sitting at the table with me.
