Reality

Lots of thoughts are rolling around in my head...I'm still working on a 2 part Blog post---but it's just not ready to post. As I looked at the state of my house today---I thought "this is reality...real people live here in my house---there are four of us and each of us are doing something different." There is only one "me." I do not employ household help (although, trust me I wish I did!!) it's just me...trying to "do it all" just like you. As I was roaming around the house doing "stuff" I thought..."you know I'm going to take pics of my house just how it is right now...not perfect (far from it) and very well lived in---and know what---it's okay." So all my dear readers and blogger friends...here is the reality...I would die if any of you thought I was perfect or had it "all together" we are all in trenches together trying to be moms and doing all that goes along with that. I'm really trying not to sweat the small stuff enjoy life just as it is...imperfect. I really hope that 1) this blog post makes you feel better about your own humble aboad (perhaps mine is in worse shape than yours and now you feel great about where you are in your household chores ;) and 2) makes us a little closer---and feel like you got to know me a little better. xoc

My $250 couch I bought 6 years ago and recently was able to find a couch cover off of Craigslist for $50! I'm challening myself to see just how long I can strech it out before we need to get new one ;)

The more I try to keep this space up the more Owen drags out toys to play with...so now I just leave it---until I really can't stand it.

Not too bad...

at least the dishes are sorta done...

Hubs hates this corner but this is where some of best work gets done...

I try to make the bed once a week...on the day that I change the sheets...obviously, not a sheet changing day...lol.

The boys room...nuf...said.

And then there is the guest room/laundry room/craft room/dump all the crap that I can't to right now room. Unarguably the worst room in the house. Look at that mound of laundry that needs to be folded and put away...I bet if I was not on the computer right now....I could be doing that...but what fun would there be in actually doing that?

Bags of yarn...that I need to get put away...hmm...

Now there, doesn't that make you feel much, much better!! *Smiles, hugs and kisses*
