I think after having had bad days, I appreciate the good days so much more. Yesterday Rich stayed home and wasn't feeling very well. Since he was "hogging" the computer I didn't get on here much and since he was around to help amuse the little kids, I got a lot of housework done. It is such a feeling of accomplishment to be able to clean a bathroom (really clean it... I used a toothbrush in the showerstall!!) without any kids yelling or screaming or trashing another room while you were cleaning the bathroom. :)
I've found that the sense of accomplishment that I felt yesterday has carried over to today. I didn't get as much done sine Rich was back at work, but I'm feeling better about what I did do, and focusing on that instead of the things that I didn't get accomplished. My kitchen floor didn't get mopped, but I did vacuum the living room. All the clothes aren't folded and put away, but since I caught up yesterday and actually put clothes away- the three loads that I washed today aren't too big of a pile and they don't seem overwhelming when I think about taking a 1/2 hour this evening to fold and put them away.
Tomorrow may be a bad day again, but I'm going to enjoy my good day today and make a yummy dinner that Rich and I like... the kids will complain- I'm sure (lately they always do) that they don't want to eat what I make, but I'm having a good day and tough cookies to them- but their complaining isn't going to bother me today. They actually like the meal and can eat it even if they would rather have something else today. lol!

"without any kids ... trashing another toom" LOL - I know what you mean! It's nice if the room that just got cleaned can look somewhat organized for a few minutes before it looks like it needs cleaning again. I'm glad to hear it's been a productive day - I feel like it kind of "balances out" my non-productivity today:-)
