Insanity

We feel CRAZY!

YES we do!

We feel CRAZY

how about you?

 

Thursday was the first day we left the house since after church on Sunday due to our insane cold temperatures, snow and wind.

This picture pretty much says it all.

I could write a novel on all the things running through my head right now

like:

why won't won't that stupid washing machine put the clothes into the dryer when it's done

and 

why won't that lovely dryer fold all those tiny panties and socks for me

i clean and i clean and 2hrs later.......it looks like a dump

so why do i bother

b/c i am pretty sure 5 out of 7 days i have o.c.d. and it makes me crazy

but then i have a moment where time seems to stand still

but the growth of my children does not

i can see them growing before my eyes, seriously

so then all i can think is "Oh just screw it!" (bad words mommy)

screw all this house work, laundry and every other insane thing closing in on me

and take a moment with your children

like this........

to make cookies w/ your middle child

in the morning

still in her pajamas

while sister is at school

 slippers too

i'm in the middle of a makeover

it's taking a while

no it's not on myself

even though it probably should be

 

no that wall is not green any more!
and the bedroom does not normally look this hideous

everything is in the middle of the room so i can work around it

so we have been sleeping in our spare bed

i've been painting the trim

along w/ about everything else in the room

can't wait to show you the finished product!

in the mean time

i feel exhausted

i want beauty sleep 

like this

 

 Aaaahhhh

so precious

thank you Lord

for these precious

healthy

beautiful 

children

and their wonderful father too

who is so patient with them

and me :)

thank you for our health

and of course my sanity
