You made me tired just reading your list!! And who says you're "just" a stay at home mom, right?:) Rock on, girl!

Wow, you are a busy woman! Great post. It was entertaining and I totally love the music to go with it! The month went fast. I'll keep blogging but probably not everyday.

Wow, what a morning! I wonder how many I would have if I listed them like that. I'm sure not as many as you do with four kiddos! I think it's interesting that in Canada, women can collect benefits and social security for the first three years they stay at home with a child. Because there is value and a little work involved, right? Maybe some day our government will value a mom like that. However, my friend has a sister who lives there and says they have higher taxes, so I guess it's a catch 22. Do you guys have fun plans for the weekend? Natalie has a play date with Grandpa today, and Kyle will be home tomorrow night. Yea! Have a "relaxing"? weekend.

Jess, I actually posted this thinking that it would be well into the night before I hit 100. I was amazed at how fast I hit the mark. It was funny to post and even funnier to go back and read all of the stupid little things that I did. Makes me wonder how many times each I did these since I only allowed myself one post on each thing. I know that I hit the diapers LOTS more that I actually used it. Just something funny.
