It sounds like you had this kind of a day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT5NwQUtVM
Way to make it through. Good night!
Whew! Good mommy!
I’m exhausted just reading about it.
Goodness, that’s a long day. Aren’t you glad every day isn’t like this? Or is it? LOL
Yikes, your day was even more packed than mine, and I’m exhausted from mine! I just spent 15 minutes listing off all the stuff I did today to Mom on the phone.
How can you even remember all that? You deserve a rest today!
Cute shoes. Toothsome #3 would love those.
What a day! Those are the cutest shoes. I’ve not seen those before.
Good gracious, girl! I think you need a pair of those lightning Crocs to get through a day like that!
