cre8ivegirl - today i am going to work…a job i don’t really like but do a good job at it anyway…today i am reading to my daughter…the whole 20 minutes that has been assigned to her by the teacher…not 10 or 15 minutes and calling it good…today i am dreaming of an tropical island…somewhere…anywhere.
Jerri - Today I worked from home in the am and acutally got reorganized and caught up…went out and saw a few patients…had pizza with my hubs…posted on my blog…read a lot of blogs and commented…still need to work in my office…but most of all tried to be Happy and Thankful! PS I love Annie’s style!!!
Dina Marie - I happen to read this blog and thought why not I answer to your question based on what I did today.
I was in Seattle for a couple of appointments this morning.
Went to Exclusive Veterinary Center and bought dry food and salmon/potatoes wet food for my dear cat, Como.
I went to Costco and pick up pills from pharmacy.
I also bought a neat shark, buoyant, boat, and two cars at Costco for my 5 years old son, Nolan to play during his bath time. It’s a surprise for him. : )
I went to Costco gas station to put some more gas for my car.
I checked emails.
I watched a movie called Garfield’s Pet Force with Nolan.
I went to Nolan’s school for curriculum night and had a meeting with Nolan’s teacher.
We went to school meeting with the principal and vice principal.
I am watching The Big Loser TV show.
Sarah Beth - Today I…got up 5 minutes BEFORE my alarm went off due to my children getting the worm (early birds get the worm). We did school, ( I home school our 5 year old son), I went to the ENT specialist and found out I’m gonna have to have snoz surgery, got home and took a 2.2 mile walk/jog w/ my three kids in a double stroller ( it works out very well, they all fit), had a yummy lunch, read to my kids, they napped while I caught up on my blogging/facebooking, talked to my neighbor while chasing my little girly, had an amazing salad for dinner, enjoyed grocery shopping w/ my wonderful hubby and kidd:0)s!
“This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!”
mom - Today I drove to Colorado with my good friend. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful drive.
Happy BDay tomorrow!
Gretchen - Today I:
worked out
worked all day
had lunch with a friend
finished a project
checked on a friend who had surgery last week
shared a glass of wine with my hubby
played with the dog
reveled in the fact that my house was clean, lawn was done,puppy was tired, dinner was ready in the crock pot and the laundry was in the washer when I got home from work
I love Tuesdays
now it’s me time.
DreamGirlLisa - Today I went to work, something I wish I didn’t have to do. Some day I hope to be able to say I am working at home, or in my own business. I hate that I cannot be there to take my daughter to school or pick her up after. I miss the days when I had a snack ready for my girls when they got home. I have to get up every morning to do my hair and put on make-up, I love when I DON’T have to on the weekends. Perspective is interesting, isn’t it?
Keep doing what you’re doing, making us think.
carissa... brown eyed fox - i should have done my hair & makeup too! 🙂
i DID go to the gym… almost flew off the treadmill… i kid you not… scared me to pieces… can you imagine! that would have been a sight!
VERY special day tomorrow! wishing for shear happiness for you! xo
Kim Disberger - When I was teaching school there was a mom who was gorgeous, however, she never did her hair AND makeup on the same day. (FYI, this was before I had kids) I asked her once why that was. It was (duh) b/c she never had time for both. There are many days that happens to me and I think of her a lot! 🙂
kristi rediske - I have watered my mums,( I love fall), rearranged my front porch-have my stray(hay) with pumpkins in the perfect spot, and have enjoyed this great day. Its sunny in Arkansas-a great day that the Lord has given us.
Sandra - I am going to notice the greatness in others, the knit together, ‘made in His image’ amazingness that we all have that goes too easily unnoticed.
And after I’ve noticed it, I’m going to ENJOY this said greatness. No expectations, only anticipation
Ashley - Meg,
Today I have a day full of Dr. appointments but am thrilled to be able to sit here while I wait and read my favorite blogs!
Have a good day Meg, I know your heart is heavy about Cora and you and the Mac’s are in our prayers daily!

Sarah @ Clover Lane - Sounds like you are in a “get it done” “back to normal” “slow and steady” mood. I need that mood. Send it this way.
Joni Lloyd - i am sitting with kleenex shoved up my nostrils right now trying to fight off this cold or allergies…whatever it is, it stinks. but seriously, i would love for your kids to pick out my outfit one day. i love their free spirited happy color choices and the freedom you give them to let them express themselves. i love it.
Tracy - Wow – hair and makeup ON THE SAME DAY?! You are a BRAVE woman my friend! LOL Seriously, love the post today! Have a wonderful day! Big hugs, Trac~:o)
the wild raspberry - funny…i JUST read philippians 4:13 and it is open here at the computer next to me…
blessing to you on this glorious day~~
chasity
Lora - today, I am working…home for lunch…feeling broken hearted for the ones who don’t know Jesus and His promises……and so thankful that I do!
Lindy - Today I, too, am rested. For once. Hubby’s snoring couldn’t keep me awake (although I cheated a little). Making lists. Hauling trash, cleaning fridge (more trash), bagging recyclables, paying bills, going to post office for stamps, buying birthday cards. Next 3 days are for grandkid watching, comes the weekend and off to see Abby on Monday! I am so glad I am rested!
Have a great day Megan!
Julia - any reason for being emotional? #6?
Rachel - Hi there!
Today I decided to comment on your page as I’ve been reading your blog for a while but never got round to commenting.
I just got home from the first day of my second week on placement as a student occupational therapist in Glasgow (Scotland). I fell asleep on the bus home and it’s freezing here so now I’m in my PJs on the sofa watching Friends (it’s 6.20pm!).
Tonight I am going to watch March of the Penguins and Munich and veg on the sofa.
Hope you have a great day.
Rachel
Sallie - I am uplifted by your colorful photos (as usual)! Thanks for sharing your gifts.
patti - today I’m praying for the best.
today I take my littlest girl (she’s 2) to the eye doctor for an ongoing sty problem and I just hope she doesn’t experience too much pain and I hope I don’t cry.
today the weather finally dropped out of the 100’s! so i’m going to enjoy fall finally being here.
today, i’m going to be patient with my kids.
thanks for reminding me of all the things good i need to focus on today – oh, and the laundry :).
Renee - i love annie’s spirit — the way she dresses is divine.
today: cleaning the bath mats that look like someone may have sat on one w/o wiping their bottom first. good times.
dh is working from home, so i have to try to keep his mind on his work and not on me!
picking up my beautiful son from kindergarten. we’ve moved past the moody blues and into full glorious smiles at pick-up. woo hoo!
your list sounds good, too. lol, xoxo
julie - today i am ditching bible study since a certain spicy three year old decided that today is the worst day in the history of all of the worst days of the world because I did her hair slightly differently than she had envisioned.
the end of her three years of life as she knows it.
who has to worry about war, universal healthcare or the recession when you ponytails are a bit fluffier than usual.
exhausting.
a 45 minute extravaganza of exhaustion.
Heather - I think I will try to do my hair and wear makeup today, too!
Georgia - I have just finished work its 5:19pm. My agenda for this evening is dinner, bath pajamas, and get cozy to watch tv. I have no energy for anything else… lol
Toni :O) - Today, I’m working…crazy busy. Then kids to the doctor for their flu shots, home for dinner and homework with the kids, off to public library and then to Party City to check out Halloween costumes before ordering through a catalog, then make sure I’m home for a phone call with a gal who is interested in becoming a new consultant on my team with Tastefully Simple, then laundry once showers are done…then…hopefully relaxing by 9:30 p.m.!
Heather @ Cookie Mondays - It’s finally cool here today! I bought a huge bunch of mums at the Farmer’s market last weekend. They are BEAUTIFUL right now!!!
traci - your today sounds perfect!!!!!
Laura Phelps - right now, thanking God for the chill in the morning air, reminding me of my real HOME back in NY in autumn
making cakes
remembering to breathe
Trasie - Today I am telling you it’s OK to cry through your bible study if you want too.
Today I am working on the blog for tomorrow. My baby will be nine months old. I have shared her with the world for as long as I carried her. Nine months mean more to me than 1 year. I have held her in my arms for as long as I carried her in my person. They placed her in my arms and she slipped right into my heart.
Today I am wishing that I lived in your neighborhood because seeing that darling little girl of yours in mismatched clothes, rain boots and loving life every day would remind me that, I need to stop waiting for the storm to pass and learn to dance in the rain more often.
AnneYarbs79 - Reading blogs I love.
Enjoying the silence while the baby sleeps.
Drinking a good cup of coffee.
Checking on the laundry and the dishes.
Making sure Super WHY is Tivoed.
Rinse and Repeat. :0)
purejoy - i love your list!! for me:
bringing lunch to a friend recovering from melanoma surgery on the bottom of her foot (how often do you examine the bottom of your foot?? me? not ever!) with my husband. the art of visiting with people is lost in this world, y’know.
catching up with some old-school hand written correspondence
assembling all the information from baccalaureate from last year to give to next year’s committee chairwoman. . . major procrastination going on there
working for the hubster
preparing the rest of my BSF lesson
trying to think about what to serve for dinner tonite
i’m exhausted just thinking about all of this!
but thanks for the reminder to accomplish something today!
Kate - Hi! I am working… then getting the kids at two… off to religous education and choir practice… then (maybe) off to a benefit concert for a sweet girl who needs our prayers… I haven’t decided on the concert yet… my heart is torn…
Natalie Battitori - Working till 4 then off to watch two of my kids play soccer then pick up other kid from volleyball practice. Fix supper. Do at least one load of laundry. Grade one kid’s homework (teacher requests it). It’s a beautiful fall day in Kansas, so really looking forward to watching the soccer game later!
Meg–I’m sure you’ve been told this many times, but you really do do more laundry than anyone else! Is there a Queen of Laundry award out there I could nominate you for? Probably not, huh?! Luv the pics above of your daughter! I hope it makes you smile like it does me.
Nicole - Today . . . . planning my October menu and grocery list! Makes me hungry all day!! Your “hair AND make up in the same day” comment made me laugh! Today is a make up day for me but not hair day!! Have a good day Meg! Hope biblestudy is uplifting and encouraging!!
Jill - Still in my p.j.’s and your post just motivated me to get up and get going. Thanks!!! 🙂 ~Jill
Staci - I AM going to work out!!! Yes I am….just started back yesterday….and wow! Sore today!

Nancy-The Goat and The Kid - I think I may actually get out of the house. Back to school sickness has ravaged my house. No fun! But amazingly, I feel peaceful amidst the chaos. I think some baking is in order today, too. What to make???
Jess - laundry as well, shopping, not the fun kind…groceries.
trying to take in every day slowly, just one day at a time.
Victoria - Wow, makeup AND hair! You go girl. 😉
