I'm here.

I haven't done anything but eat a cookie and drink some juice so far.

I need to keep laundry going.
Clean up the basement so I can let the cats out of the laundry room.
Run the dishwasher a few more times.

Man, I've been in a funk the past couple of days! :-/ I really, really need to get back into the routine of taking my supplements.

I feel like I haven't accomplished much today but I kind of have. I still need to:
cook dinner
wash some dishes
clear counters, tables, sink before bed (especially since I fell asleep at 8 last night! :jawdrop)
fold some clothes
quiet time/daily BCP reading :heart

So, I'm off to get busy! Have a great night mamas!
