What I do:
Wash.
Delegate.
Remind.
Drive
Fix cars. (well pick up the parts, anyway)
Usher in visitors. Glamorous part of my day (visitors that is - NOT my house:)
clean bath scum.
teach.
comfort (at least try to)
Provide nourishment.
Read about heffalumps.
Manage landscape assistants.
Provide opportunities for a budding pastry chef.
cook.
Reassure, assist, (whatever it takes)...
Wash.
Read myself.
Put on P'Js. Chat to hubby about all of the above. Sleep. soundly.
With slight variation I think when I wake up tomorrow it will probably be the same:) all over again. Sigh....
It's what I do. Though tiring, patience-testing, energy-sapping...emotion draining, at times plain brain -depleting and downright toxic!....
I am truly blessed.

Ah, yes it is tiring, but well worth the effort! Let me encourage you that I believe for a mother it's the most purposeful thing for her to 'be a mother' all day long. I see the difference it makes to children when they have this and I see the difference in children who don't have this. May God truly bless you in your wonderful(but tiring) role!
I really love this post... it captures so many more things than the mundane and speaks of love and self-sacrifice beyond human effort.
I now feel truly exhausted.
