Today I have:
cleaned the coffee table (and the nasty bumper, under which DJ stashes food)
cleaned the bathroom mirror, sink, counter, and toilet
cleaned the kitchen counters and stove, and finished up dishes
vacuumed the stairs and the landing
picked up in DJ's room
done 2 loads of laundry.
And that's in addition to Skyping with my girlfriend, talking to my husband, my friend Gary, and my dad (he's on his long drive up to MI from NC), feeding, snuggling, and giving attention to my boy.
I think what I mentioned above are all equally getting credit for this. I wouldn't have had a day like this when my son was 8 months old because he still couldn't stay independently busy for very long. I wouldn't had had a day like this 2 months ago, because I wasn't staying fit and would've just been too tired to get up and do all that stuff! Finally, if it weren't for the inspiration of my girl, who is so much better at juggling motherhood and cleaning than I am!!
Today proved that I will be able to have a normal life after the new baby (not TTC, yet) is about DJ's age. I'm sure enjoying it now, while I can, before I get pregnant, again!
Ok, Bug needs my attention now.

I would love to hear thoughts from you other mothers out there. Communicating is the only way we know we are not alone. :)
