- I ready my scriptures and wrote in my journal
- Helped my kids read scriptures personally
- We practiced the Articles of Faith
- We practiced writing and identifying letters
- Practiced addition
- Tried to keep the house clean
- Did laundry
- Had a very unsuccessful nap
- Made salt map clay
- Bathed my filthy children
- Did some more cleaning up
- Made dinner
For all these efforts we ended with:
- Playing in the ash in the fireplace while mom cooked dinner
- A filthy house even after all the cleaning we had done
- Filthy children who were put to bed with one slice of bread for dinner
- A lot of crying
Some days I am a very in attentive mother. I admit it. I should play with them more, I should read to them more, I should worry about the house less than I do. Today I put forth great effort to have fun with them, to teach them, to enjoy them. I don't see how this is a very fair trade.
