For the majority of the day, I couldn&#8217;t motivate myself to do anything beyond the very basics of keeping children alive. To me that means: chauffeuring, grocery shopping, meal prep, wiping bottoms, wiping noses, washing faces, and lots and lots of dishes. (With the new open floor plan, I could be on my death bed and still feel the need to stay on top of those. If the sink piles up, I can see it from almost anywhere in the house and feel like I&#8217;ve officially arrived at Failure status.) In between all that, I lay on the couch and gave into exhaustion.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, at 8 pm I got my very first wind of the day, and between then and now I have cleaned the house, folded multiple loads of laundry, practiced for a church musical number I have to do in a couple weeks, vacuumed, mopped the floors, and tidied all of the messes that annoy me in the house. I have to record such &#8220;have done&#8221; lists here because even though Abe can come home and notice it looks nice, he generally has no idea of the specifics that got us from point A to point B. I look forward to his thank-you call after he reads this tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I did take a video of the girls at the dinner table today. Lydia was pretending to be a teacher and Mary was dutifully calling her &#8220;teacher.&#8221; I thought it was funny, but I&#8217;ll have to upload the video some other day because it might take a minute for me to figure out how to cut it down to just the good parts.<\/p>\n<p>I did take one picture this morning, though! Lydia woke up in a very chipper mood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1073.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6515\" alt=\"IMG_1073\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1073-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I felt like a lazy lump all day.
