In honor of the madness, here’s our life in numbers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 nights in the last 30 that we’ve had house guests
67 miles I drive each day to the office and school drop off and pick up
7 days last week that one of my boys had basketball practice or a game
11 loud complaints from The Princess about going to her brother’s sporting events
517 photos we took over the holidays that I need to edit and upload to share with my family
1.2 home cooked meals I served my family last week
14 minutes late to Church on Sunday
3 television shows I let The Princess watch over the weekend while I “undecorated”
8 bins of Christmas cheer that are packed and stored – hooray!
12 points The Athlete scored in his team’s 36-12 win on Saturday
2 Second Grade projects due on the week after the holiday break
9 hours per night of sleep that I’d like to get
5.5 average hours of sleep I get each night
10 months before we host an Anniversary party in Maui
4, 314 times I tell myself every single week to take a deep breath and count my blessings
10 fingers and toes each of my children has that I adore

I really enjoyed this tally. It's so easy to feel guilty about not posting in our blogs but it's more important prioritize our real lifes and Live :)
Hi from SITS.
For a second I thought those were real fish. Ugh. Wake up, MiMi!
I have to say, it's nice to know that other people are out there "stressing" out and taking a blog break...It's not easy being Mommy sometimes. Visiting from SITS!
You've been busy.
And second grade projects? Holy crap, my son is in second grade and there has been no projects yet. Well, he did have to color a turkey for Thanksgiving but that was about it..
Love this "by the numbers" post. I know what you mean---I can barely catch my breath these days. Blogging is my favorite thing, but it's getting increasingly difficult to devote the kind of time to it that I want....
Heres to hoping your next few weeks slow down...is that even possible? Does that ever happen for moms?
I loved the list. It was awesome. I also took a bit of a break.
I'm tired just thinking about how busy you are! Maui sounds good though!
Wow you have been busy!
And so awesome that your son got 12 pts! He got 1/3 of the points himself! Impressive.
Don't worry I will still be around whenever you have free time to blog :)
I'm exhausted reading about it, girl! Take a break and know we will be here when you return!
That's a lot of numbers!!!I made a rule that through the whole of December there would be NO entertaining at our house and it was a blessing I can tell you!
My house is usually full of visitors one way or another so it was good to have a break!
I have my Hubby's 40th and my Sons 1st birthday parties to plan now in only 4 weeks AHHHH!
I came by as I saw your comment over at SFTC - I love the end bit "you can thank me and then ask to borrow my spoon!!"
Classic...loved it!!
WHAT a week. Take deep breaths..that is good advice to yourself. Love that last line about the fingers and toes you adore. So cute.
What exactly is a 1.2 home cooked meal? LOL.
That was me above...under the email sign in. :)
i think we are all feeling a little stressed out this time of the year too. i know i am. but i am just trying to pretend the mess around me does not exist!
Wow, that's busy. Since my kids are grown and gone life has slowed down a bit. Sometimes I miss the busyness with the little ones.
Genius post!
I don't know how you did it...but I'm glad you did.
Hey, I miss you and am glad that you are living your life... You have a blessed family to have you as a mommy and wife. Have a great week!
Sounds like a busy week!
Hi from SITS! Love your list! Sounds like a very busy week, but a typical one in your family! Congrats on getting through it - hoping you get a few minutes of quiet this weekend!
Well I think we all agree that you definitely deserve some much needed R and R!
And I really like the way you did this post. Very clever and fun to read!

You have been sooo busy! Stoppin by from SITS!
I am sure most of us in the sitsa world understand. LOL take a deep breath. Seems like you have been really busy. Have a blessed New Year.

I'm glad to see that someone gets as much sleep as I do....or should I be sad for us both? I think we should make it a goal to go to bed earlier.
