What's my day like?

I still can't forget how I was at loss of words when someone had asked me the dumbest question about 5 years ago ( when my first daughter was just a toddler). We were watching TV together and all of a sudden this person said, "So Gina, since you're a stay at home mom, is this what you do all day?" meaning do I watch TV all day. I was so dumbfounded and upset I simply just said, "No, that's not what I do all day". If only this person had any idea what my typical day is like....
