I'm joining Jenny again for A Day in My Life.
She says:
"The purpose is not to show how busy, lazy, exciting or organised your life is though it may be all of those things. The purpose is just to document a day and over a period of time document a series of days to look back on."
Be sure and check out her blog to read about her day and see the links to others who are taking part.
Today was a little different from my usual Mondays. School is out today and Mike is home. We had a very busy weekend, so today was a perfect opportunity for us to sleep in. We straggled into the kitchen one at a time for breakfast (make your own) and spent most of the morning in our PJs. It was so nice not to be rushing off somewhere. Mike and I were still sitting around drinking coffee at 10:00 am! I threw our sheets in the washer and that's about the extent of my morning accomplishments. :)
After sandwiches for lunch I made my menu and grocery list and did a quick fridge cleaning. I try to wipe down spills and throw out anything yucky before I shop. I usually go grocery shopping on Fridays and didn't get to it last week. We had an almost bare pantry and fridge. Mike stayed home with the kids, so I went to the post office and grocery store by myself. When I got home everyone helped bring in the groceries (it was a LOT) and put things away.
Once we had all the groceries put away, it was time to once again have Cindy lace up her cleats and head out to the softball field for a game.
They lost the game, but played hard. The team they played is one of the three best in the league and doesn't have any first year players. About half our team is first year.
By the time we got home it was nearly 8:00pm. I had the girls take a quick shower while I threw together a pizza. We really don't have pizza every night, it just seems that way sometimes. :)
After supper the girls got their backpacks ready for tomorrow and went to bed. Bobby and Mike settled in to watch a few minutes of TV while I checked email and started blogging.
I feel like I didn't get a thing done today. I still have a huge pile of laundry to do and the house is in disarray after the weekend. I have my work cut out for me tomorrow. :)

that pizza looks amazing. do you have a recipe for that dough?
Days like that are good, but yes, the chores soon pile up!
Love Tina :)
Jenny, yes it was a really nice day. I'm getting all caught up today and that feels good too. :)
Thank you Cathy! Getting caught up isn't much fun, but it feels SO good when you finish doesn't it? :)
Elizabeth, this pizza dough recipe came from Biblical Womanhood. We love it.
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 Cup warm water
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil or olive oil
2 1/2 Cups flour
I just dissolve the yeast in the water in my Kitchenaid mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and mix with the dough hook. Roll out your dough and press into a greased pan and add toppings. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
Tina, and oh how they pile up! :) My washer and dryer have been chugging along ALL day today.
