Day to Day Life

 This is the front room two weeks ago.  I'm quite proud of myself that almost all of those boxes have been unpacked and put away.  Actually...I'm not that proud.  I get frustrated quite easily that my house is not already just put together how I want it to be.  But I'm trying not to feel that way and to be more grateful.

The kitchen doors and drawer fronts are still out in the garage waiting to be painted.

 Which I will do...
...just as soon as I find. Lila.  No cabinet doors mean no latches which mean a constant free-for-all for baby in the kitchen.

Where are you baby?  You've been here but you're not here now...

Oh, of course...here you are...pulling these rocks out of the fireplace again...like you do every time I finish sweeping them up.

The cabinets will have to wait because she needs a bath and Miles just had an "accident".  Maybe I'll do them after I get Lila down for a nap because right now she only wants to be held.

Well...maybe not nap time because there is this guy who is running from some sort of mess he's just made and now he needs me to read him a story.  And then I'm going to fold 6 loads of laundry.  And then I'll sweep under the kitchen table because that is gross and I have to do it at least twice per day.

Luckily I won't have to do the dishes today because Miles is doing them...or I might have to just change him again and mop the floor when he's done.

And now maybe I'll get to doing...something...what was I saying about the cabinets?  Oh...its time to pick up the kids from school and then do homework and then clean some more things and then start dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, get all kids ready for bed, read scriptures and say prayers, get kids in bed, put Miles in bed again, go lie down by Miles for 20 minutes so that he'll stay in his bed.  Now its 9:00pm.   Should I get started on those cabinet doors now?   Hm...well...I think maybe it will have to wait until tomorrow.
