My daily routine as a stay at home mom is: wake up, get the kids dressed for school, drop them off at school, go home clean up, take a nap, pick up Joseph, make lunch, clean up, help Joseph with his homework, pick up Channing, help her with her homework, make dinner, clean up, get the kids all bathed and clean and ready for bed, clean up again, oh and take care of Mikey all day.
So as you can see, I clean up constantly through out the day, a trait I must have gotten from my mom, so my house is ALWAYS clean! However, due to the events of the past couple weeks or so, I have been bed ridden and unable to do anything. My husband promised to take care of everything, since he has taken off to help me, but I have learned that unless he is working out side, or playing with his toys, he can not do anything unless he is directed. Don't get me wrong, I love him, I just didn't realize when women said their husbands were like children, that they were serious!
So.......it's 9:15 at night, and the house is a wreck, I just can't stand it anymore! Despite what my doctor told me, I just had to get up and clean a little bit. I started putting the dirty clothes in piles, all of the trash in a pile, and put the million stack of dishes in a more orderly fashion to get cleaned up. I then instructed my sweet husband on what to do with the clothes, what to do with the trash, and I told him to leave the kitchen alone, I will handle that one!
Then after all is done, we will be able to pack everything in a cleaner environment! Soon enough, we will be in our new home, and I will be able to keep things clean again!
