House Mom Practice

Today was a busy day...but good. I felt accomplished when I was done. I hadn't done anything that was of terrible significance so I was trying to think of what brought me so much joy at the end of my day. 

Here's the run down of what I did.

10-12:30- Babysat for the "Bullmoose" neighbors and took their adorable little girl to her ballet class.

1-2- grocery shopping

2-3 Put away groceries and cleaned up the house a little.

3-6 Picked up my neighbors kids at school (while waiting for their kids, I got to read the Word a bit and mingle with the mom's I knew there) Babysat them for a while. They came over to my house and watched Disney (I know, great babysitting skills huh? Put them in front of the T.V) while I made an apple pie.

6-7 Made dinner for my friend Mike.

Tonights menu: Italian

Spaghetti and a sauce recipe I found online and had fun making

Ceasar Salad

Crescent rolls

Apple Pie a la mode (ok, so the apple pie wasn't exactly Italian, but it's fall and the apples are in season)

7-9 Mike came over and brought me my favorite flowers (THANK YOU!!!) and we had a nice dinner and chatted.

So what made me feel a sense of accomplishment? I think I realized that it's the life of a mom. Taking care of kids...getting the groceries...cleaning the house...taking care of kids...making dinner...hospitality. 

Yeah, I really enjoyed my day. I liked my House Mom practice day.
