Charla, it' doesn't look like you have low energy from your list of completed chores. All I've done is prep a lot of veggies...

speaking of which, I have veggie stock brewing.

put towels in dryer
put bath and kitchen rugs in washer

I vacuumed about half the house (areas that needed vacuuming), unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, and hand-washed some dishes. I also put my youngest down for a nap and sent the others out to play. Ahhh...peaceful house.
