Some days I feel like such a failure. My house is never clean, the laundry is never complete... There are dirty dishes, a floor that needs swept, a toilet that needs cleaned... There are meals to be cooked, a baby to be fed and played with and laid down for a nap... I feel overwhelmed. This is my responsibility, and sometimes when I look around I realize I'm doing a miserable job. I just need to regain my motivation.

In other news... I'm sewing up a few more purses for my store opening on Saturday. Hopefully they sell! All the proceeds are going toward families affected by the Joplin tornado.

Alright, now I have to go pick up the living room and maybe load the dishwasher... And put the laundry away... and fold Abby's clothes... and start a load of diapers... And vacuum the dining room... Oh Tuesdays!

EDITED TO ADD:
Here's the checklist of what's been done! Because I'm excited and need to brag somewhere!

• Master Bathroom cleaned (including the sink, toilet and countertop)
• Dishwasher loaded
• Kitchen counters cleaned and scrubbed
• Kitchen floor swept and mopped!
• Computer area cleaned up (and even vacuumed!)
• One load of laundry completed
• One load of diaper laundry in the washer
• Folded clean diapers
• Made a menu for the next two weeks (everyone knows how much time that takes!)
• And I even cleaned out my coupon binder

I feel accomplished. I feel like I did something today. And I was still able to play with Abigail! Maybe I can do this!
