* Pumped over 20 ounces of breast milk

* changed 8 or so diapers

* did a load of laundry (wash and dry – no, it’s not folded yet)

* made dinner (okay frozen pizza and veggies, but still, we ate)

* read a few blogs and commented when possible

* baked Halloween Blondies (recipe HERE)

* took a shower (which included washing my hair and drying it with a blow dryer – impressive, no?)

* picked up a 5-year old from school in Monsoon-like conditions with two other children in the car

* loaded the dishwasher

*washed bottles and nipples

* made lunch for myself and my toddler

* ate lunch and cleaned up after us

* put toddler down for his nap

* ate a few pieces of Halloween candy

* participated in the first part of the #motherhood party on twitter

* bathed a baby girl


Yesterday was my first day without any help with the baby and toddler and it went quite well. Monday and Tuesday of next week ALL three children will be home with me since The B Man AND Little G both have “Fall Break.” I’m a little scared and certainly NOT afraid to turn on the t.v. when needed. I do plan to take a trip to the park. Our first outing as four and me the ONLY adult. Prayers are appreciated. I’m up for the challenge. I think.
