my day. by the numbers.

1 – this is the tale of me. One mom. And my day. {which was yesterday}

2 – times I went to Target. In one day – once to the pharmacy and once to buy more Emergen-C {which I recommend}. And it’s also the number of cups of coffee that I consumed.

3 – little boys are sleeping while I type this.

4 – is the number of trips made to the ballet studio. Today alone.

5 – minutes is the maximum amount of silence that I heard all day. And that was on a return drive from ballet.

6 – is the number of times I swept our kitchen floor.

7 – loads of laundry wait to be folded downstairs. Yes, seven.

8 – is the number of hours that our homemade beef stew simmered in my crock pot. {I love my slow cooker.}

9 – is the number of bowls dished up of hearty beef stew

10 – is the age of this daughter – Gracie – that I dropped off/picked up during two of those ballet runs.

11 – is probably the number of times I counted to ten

12 – steps were vacuumed with my wonderful Oreck vacuum {i simply cannot stop sharing about that thing!}

13 – hours from when I wrote this I’ll be sitting in an office with my shoulder surgeon

14 – school books were left piled on the table before dinner

15 – minutes is how long Brennan played outside on the swing

16 – Keruig Iced Coffees came in a box on sale for $5.98 at Target. I bought two boxes. And we brew them hot — shhhhhh — it’s our little secret.

17 – I have nothing for this number.

18 – hours a day I am awake. That is why I need at least two cups of coffee per day. And that is why purchasing those Keurig coffees at Target during my first run to Target in a day was a great deal for this family.

19 –  Kids and Counting is a television show that I’ll watch while folding laundry. I like watching that while folding laundry because then it makes my seven loads {that I’m behind with} seem like nothing.

20 – items are on my to-do list for today. And that’s okay. I’m blessed to be busy. And I never get tired of this view on the way to ballet.

and by the way….

40 – bags of paper lawn and leaf bags were purchased by me at Target. For $2.48. 90% off. That’s me – extreme bargain queen. Watch for me on TLC. grin.
