How Much Do I Really Get Done In A Day?

I don't know but some days I feel like nothing is getting accomplished. Today was Sunday Shawn was gone. Mike went to early service. I decided to sleep in. I always feel guilty when I sleep in. I am a list keeper I always have an ongoing list of what must be done and when. By 4 pm when I talked to Shawn the most I had done was manage to crawl out of bed and go downstairs to the tv. By the time I write this I have had a shower, fed the kids, washed dryed & folded 4 loads of laundry, Addressed printed & prepared 21 invites for the mail, loaded washed & unloaded 2 loads of dishes from the dishwasher, spent one hour mowing my never ending lawn, planned my garden planting for tomorrow, made a grocery list for thursday, pulled deer meat to make into jerky tomorrow, updated my blog, took an online survey, looked up the addresses for 2 long lost cousins, cleaned up all the toys on the lawn so I can mow more tomorrow, washed the animals food and water dishes and fed and watered them and finally revised my To Do List by adding another 10 things for tomorrow. Among these many duties I also needed to remind Mike to give payroll the blank check I picked up from the bank; so he'll get paid next week & phoned Dad to remind him of his 2 must do errands, and started planning Mom and my antique trip to Nanton. Why as woman do we feel that we have never done enough as we crawl into bed every night. I hope as Bailey gets older she doesn't become as obsessed as I am with "How much did I do Today?"
