This post may not make any since so bare with me, I am an over worked tired,stressed out mommy that just needs to vent! Read at your own risk:)
This week has been extra challenging for me I don't know why it just has. I feel like every time I turn around there is a mess of some sort, Just when I feel like I can relax and have a clean house something gets messed up. I feel like a Nagy mom, I don't want my kids to remember me always nagging them to pick up this, clean that, do this, but I feel like since Joshua's accident I have had to lean on my kids more then I would like. So the other day, Caleb came to me and asked why I clean so much and why we don't have fun any more?? Right then my eyes where opened by that sweet little voice begging his mom to put the broom down and just play with him. It seriously broke my heart and made me feel like a horrible mom, I try so hard to keep the house in order, make sure the bills are paid , that we have food,that there home works done, baths, teeth brushed,laundry, yard picked up, the animals feed, working etc.. by the end of the day I am exhausted and I am just happy I got those things accomplished not realizing the most important thing on my list should be my kids and my husband, YES some things are a most but the little things I freak out about can totally wait! I guess the reason for this post is to just let all you Mommy's now that your house dose not have to be PERFECT! Put the broom down or whatever you are cleaning with and spend some time with your little ones, there only yours for a short time and then the mess is gone. I know easier said then done, but I am DEFINITELY going to try for now on to be that fun mommy I use to be and TRY not to stress about the little things and just enjoy the precious time I do have with my 5 little monkeys. ONE DAY AT A TIME!

thanks for such a great reminder. Guess I'd better get off the computer and go read to my kids. I need to try harder to do better at this too. like you said, one day at a time. . .
Amber you are an inspiration for us all. I have been telling myself that for a while so I colored with my younger kids today. It was so fun. We drew our family picture. They had lots of fun. Thank you
I always cleaned at night when you guys were younger... but since we both have the experience of working nights when our kids are young.. its harder then we think... your house will always be there to clean the mess isnt going to clean itself.. but your kids grow to fast.. Enjoy the time you have with them when there awake... I know you do anyway... just don't stress so much on the cleaning,... you always seem to keep up with it on a daily basis... love you
