What Did You Accomplish This Week?

It seems like every time I have cause to stop and think about what I actually did during the last week, I come up a blank. I know there are a lot of hours to fill, so I must have accomplished SOMETHING, right? In anticipation of posting this blog, I paid special attention this week to what I spent my time doing. I was surprised at the results. In addition to laundry and dishes, homework and bedtime stories, the following is my list of accomplishments for the week:

1) Made homemade bread--2 loaves with one being a braided french loaf
2) Made homemade granola bars--I love them, not sweet enough for the kids
3) Made homemade laundry detergent-- Brian helped with this one, so I guess it's only 1/2 a point
4) Made butter for the first time--no hand churning required
5) Created a new blog website, updated the content daily and acquired 5 followers
6) Took on another carpool day for the week

Those are the ones that stand out. So now it's your turn. What are your accomplishments for the week? Did you get your flu vaccination? Nurture a sick child, cash in the mound of cans in the garage? Finally clean out the inbox on your desk or in your email? Let us know!

  1. Wow, Talk about super mom that is quite a list you have accomplished in a week. I can't say I have done nearly that much! My days are set by nap time and when Hannah needs to nurse again. Although I was very excited that I managed to clip coupons from the sunday paper and saved 24.57 in coupons alone at the grocery store today! Is it sad that this gives me a thrill? :)

  2. Awesome. I actually called Brian last week after leaving the grocery store. I had to outline my savings to him. That's the kind of adreneline rush I can afford.

    As for your list, what about managing to function with minimal sleep, infrequent meals and 2 kids in tow? You can also add the accomplishments of getting laundry done, making meals, and even getting to the grocery store. Oh yeah, did I mention being the sole source of nourishment for another human being? You got me beat by a long shot sister!
