For Real: What do you do all day?

"What do you do all day?" When I was a stay at home mom I hated this question.  For some reason I thought once I started homeschooling I would stop getting asked this question. I can't decide if people are just nosy or if they really think I sit around and watch soap operas and eat bon-bons all day.   For my fellow homeschooling friends we often talk about what does your school day look like?  I decided to do a little experiment, and I kept a journal one day this week of everything I did.  So here's a look into one of my days.  They don't all look the same but this gives you an idea of "What I Do All Day!"
