Power Days

I Lately started doing this thing that I call "Power Days" it goes something like this. I try to do everything I can, around the house, in one day. It has to be a day that I know I don't have to do a lot of running around because I don't want to be interrupted. Yesterday I managed to clean the house, do some laundry, organize the drawers in the kitchen, iron, grocery shop, (after the kids were in bed), and of course take care of the four children that I do have and all their friends. It is nice because the children recognize my power days and are so good to help out. What is even better is that I can look at the whole week and not stress about trying to get a ton done. Of course I have to do the daily things with some extras each day, but I have realized that it really does free some time up on those days. I do get to bed later than usual and I'm really tired at the end of the day. But I love when I wake up and know that I accomplished so much the day before. We will see how long it lasts, because there are many days that I do have to do a lot of running around, but for now I am loving my power days.
