Triumph

Most days after work I feel defeated. Today I put in from 8-5pm and then taught a class from 6-8pm. I was beat, but more motivated than ever to accomplish something. There are so many wonderful projects on my to-do list!

Tonight I have tasted triumph.

- ♥ -

Children bathed.

Toys put away.

Teeth tickled (Taylor's toothbrush found).

Stories read.

Giggles and snickers all let out.

Prayers said.

Dishes done before 9:15 pm.

6 "Thank You" Cards made and ready to go.

Scraps, brads, ink, scraps, envelopes, scraps and tools put away.

"Pay it Forward" treasures almost done.

Three loads of laundry washed.

Two loads of laundry folded and put away.

Scrapbooking supplies organized.

Kids tucked in.

Fans turned down, doors locked, phones charging.

Kisses stolen from sleeping babes.

"Me" taken care of (aka: my face is washed *sigh*).

I'm turnin' in. And I'm not even going to set my alarm.

The day will start bright and early when the sun peeks through my blinds and my darlings come in for kisses and to snuggle.
