A highly scientific breakdown of my waking hours:

12%   locating lost items for every living soul in this house

8%     encouraging each child to actually consume something edible at or around mealtimes

10%   paying attention to dogs in need of a cuddle or ear scratch

18%   mediating sibling conflict to avoid our own World War III

4%     checking e-mail and Facebook on the sly

8%     fussing at Gracie to “Get those paws off the counter!!”

2%     hiding in the pantry, stealthily inhaling sweet treats

15%   shouting “Gracie, GET OUT!” from any location on the first floor

8%     working on some stage of laundry (sorting, washing, drying, folding, getting clothes to rooms, or thinking “Man, I really need to get on that laundry.”)

5%     prying an item from Gracie’s mouth that may or may not be toxic

9%     blogging (ahhhh…)

1%     cleaning (probably. or maybe 1% thinking about cleaning.)
