Done about 8 loads of laundry.
Put away laundry.
Done dishes.
Picked up my room.
Cleaned the girl’s room twice.
Picked up the Living Room 4 times.
And I’ll tell you what the only room that is even close to clean is the bathroom (Steven did that one and we put those doorknob thingies on so Seporah can’t get in on them). I think I blew up last night, sorry. I mean in my mind Steven and I have 4 consecutive days off (we NEVER get that), so that means we should have a clean house, shouldn’t we, we have the time to clean it. Yeah we were pretty sick on Friday and Dad continued to be sick on Saturday and Sunday, but still. I don’t understand how when I look at the living room floor, there is an entire bag of popcorn dumped, 4 blankets, about 15 books, cereal, toys, styrofoam thingies, a screwdriver, 3 pillows, an entire thing of yellow stickies unstuck to each other, a pack of animal cards, and Seporah’s church dress there.
I read an article a couple days ago about the Perfect Body. Saying if we actually spent as much time as needed to have the ideal perfect body, we would be wasting so much of our lives and giving up so much in so many others area would it really actually be worth it? So I am going to try to apply this article to my house (no I don’t mean I’m just getting out of housework, you have no idea how much house work I actually do). At least for today and am going to ignore the mess and instead do something else Seporah and Felicity will appreciate. They don’t have a clue whether the house is messy or dirty.
Someday all my plates will match.
Someday there will be towels on the towel rods, not the bathroom floor.
Someday I will have the time to make a 4 course meal and actually eat it.
Someday my movie collection will contain something besides talking animals.
Someday I will be able to cross my Living Room without worrying about stepping on sharp objects.
Someday I’ll get my Master’s.
Someday I’ll be the Mother of the Bride (twice).
Today, I“m going to spend the entire day with my whole family.
Good for you! Too many people worry about surface things (like the always clean house), and miss so many of the important things (picnics, walks, trips to the park/beach). Enjoy your day with your daughters and husband. Then pick up what you can/want to while the little ones are taking a nap after their exiciting day.
Love you bunches,
Mom
