Have you ever looked around your house and said "How did it get THIS bad?" Wasn't it all cleaned up just a few days ago? And the laundry! I swear it was all folded AND put away last week, and now I have 15 loads piling up to fold. Oh, please don't look under the table, as there's enough food down there to feed a crawling toddler.
No? Well, go away then. :-P Because that's where I am today. So while three kids are outside playing, the baby who is tired from 2mo shots today is sleeping, I'm sitting here eating leftover mac and cheese and blogging. WHy? Well, because I can't clean and eat duh! However, I did load the dishes and sweep the kitchen before the mac n cheese. (Shh... it was only because I HAD to make some coffee, even though it was noon, and I was tired of stepping on the crumbs while doing the dishes...)
My husband made Beka's doc appointment for today, because well, we don't have touchtone dialing on our phone so I couldn't "push 1 for pediatrics" when I called. And he made it for before 8! Crazy man! At least he stayed home with the other 3 while I went with just her. I think that even though I hadn't had coffee, and only one eye was really open, I remember the important things the doctor said, that it's ok she hasn't pooped since last Friday since she's breastfed. Anyway, I thought that because I was up so early, I'd be able to come home and just get busy on housework. Ha, an hour after I got home, I woke up from a nice nap and NOW I can do some work.
Anyway, this is motherhood. I've come to that conclusion. My house is going to be a mess for years to come (And has been for years). And I just gotta suck it up and deal. I'll clean what i can while they're outside playing. Will I put their stuff away? Heck no. I'll likely sweep everythign in to a big pile, and when they come in, they'll have about 15 minutes to get their stuff and put it away. Or else...
But you know what? It's worth it. Why? Because the messes of toys and Popsicle sticks are because they have incredible imaginations. The crumbs and dishes are because I'm able to feed my children. And the laundry, I'm able to cloth my children, way more than I even need to be able to do. These are such blessings that the mess isn't a big deal when I focus on those things.

It's always encouraging to know other mom's go through it too. I'm NEVER caught up on laundry, up until a few hours ago I had enough food on my kitchen floor to feed a crawling toddler, and there was dust caked onto my furniture. So I did take the advantage of the tv babysitter and I cleaned. lol
I figure one day we'll have perfectly cleaned homes and miss the days that the children made messes! One thing I had to learn to let go, is the messy playroom. I actually love seeing the playroom a mess. It means my kids were having a blast :)
Beautiful post.
I thank God whenever I wipe sticky fingerprints off of our fridge b/c I am thankful for the tiny hands in my house. :)
People always say to me "Wow, you have your hands full today!"
I wouldn't have it any other way!
Thanks everyone :) BRidget- I love ot tell people "No, actually I don't have enough hands for all of them!" with a wink. :) It is truly a blessing.
