Oh poop*.

Today's Accomplishments: tracked the budget and balanced the bank statement, convinced FFYM#1 to get the poop out**, got the car washed, restocked the pantry and fridge.

**Not as in "get the heck out"- -think more literally here. TMI - but hey, it has been the biggest accomplishment of the day.
