Susie Mears Sams #1 reason I don't get "anything" done: Most of my time is spent doing must-happen-now's - urine on floor, clothes; tp on floor, in baby's mouth; baby in the bathroom); paint on floor, table, children; food, drink for children; wet diapers; wet clothes from wet diapers; and retrieval of children from areas outside our front lawn (I have a couple of wanderers). See, I didn't get "anything" done.

Amen sister! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susie! I needed the reminder more than ever as I sit here in a clean shirt, but still smelling my little sweetie's throw up all over!
ReplyDeleteI soooo vividly remember those days of having 3 kids under school age. And then when we added our niece & nephew to the mix, it was extra crazy. But I was serious when I said "don't blink". It happens so fast and you look back and realize that there was beauty in those days of messes & stinky things & chaos. Enjoy every minute of it, it'll be over before ya know it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susie. I needed this. My house is a disaster. I often feel like the kids make messes quicker than I can clean them up-- let alone get to all the other chores. So I hear ya. And it is comforting to know that I'm not alone and that I should just step back a bit and cherish the chaos before it's gone.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I decided that once our kids are all potty trained- or before we put this house up for sale (which ever comes first), we need to get new carpet, lol! We're workin' on just about daily puddles here... ;)

I SO understand this! I feel like I never get ANYTHING done. I can get the clothes washed and dried, but folding and putting away...forget it! That happens sometimes. Or I'll get them folded, but not put away. And my floors, forget it. I *really* would love to have them vacuumed and mopped daily, but that doesn't happen.
