If you walked into my house right now, I would probably want to cry. I would apologize for the state of my house and claim that it is quite the mess but if I am truly honest THIS is my life. This glorious mess. The cheerios, the half eaten banana, the clothes (that I was attempting to sort) all over the table and couch, the half dressed toddler, the little boy still in his pajamas as it is approaching dinner time; all of this is quite normal around here. I've been trying really hard to keep an organized clean home, but the counter covered in clean tupperware drying, the half-empty dishwasher with clean dishes in it is normal, the bits of play sand all over the island with toy animals strewn about is all very normal around here. I'd like to pretend it's at it's worst, but even as I'm typing my half dressed toddler is jamming a toy screw drive in my ear and "hammering" my shoulder....and I just pulled banana peel out of my son's mouth.
Oh I know I will miss this, and I'm trying VERY hard not to stress about this mess. My goal for 2016 was to be present in the moments and not to focus so much on my 'To Do' list....here's to trying!
Today:
Breakfast - apple slices, pistachios (eaten in the car....)
Real Moms group for me!
Lunch - string cheese, pretzels, and CHEESE GRITS (the best thing to have ever been eaten, made for my bible study this morning so yes a lot of cheese grits were eaten today)
Lucy played with Kinetic Sand
Rhett (and later Lucy) pulled everything out of drawers in kitchen...and the tubs of clothes I'm trying to consign!
Tonight - Mike has the kids while I go to a small group focusing on Hospitality and Jesus - Win!
Dinner - Roast from Costco (that was so kindly delivered after the raw chicken debacle...)
