Accomplishments

I'm laying on my bed with no energy or desire to resurrect myself to clean my kitchen counters or floors, or even unload and reload the dishwasher.  I need to go to the grocery store, and I just can't find the will or energy.  If I hadn't had to go replace a $1500 cello today (because Hunter broke it beyond repair), I think I would have tried to talk Kelsey into coming over and doing all my work for me - or at least run to the store.  But because of my recent spending, I can't justify paying Kelsey for doing something that I am so capable of doing.  So after picking up pizza from Little Ceasars for dinner I was thinking about how I'm so worn out, but have accomplished nothing to show for my day.  I hate how so much of what I do cannot be measured for satisfaction.  It makes me feel so unaccomplished.  So I thought, I need to write down my accomplishments for the day, so that at least on paper I can feel like I've done something, even if there is nothing physically in my house to show for it.

Today I wanted to clean my kitchen, do all the kids laundry, grocery shop, and bake some sheet cakes for Luke's baptism next week.  None of that was done.  Today I ran my 5 miles, showered, taught 1 piano lesson, homeschooled Luke, and drove to Lakewood to buy a new cello.

Not a great list, but it's a list to show something was done.
