Piles

Have you ever felt like you will never climb out from under a pile of something? Lately my house just keeps getting out of control. I have no idea why this keeps happening but I just can't keep it clean.  Today I had planned to get out of the house early this morning before anyone could make a mess and then stay out until closer to dinner and then take the girls swimming after dinner. It would be mess free and let me have some enjoyment. Then something happened this morning that I had to take care of and so the girls pulled out some art supplies to work with that ended up spilling all over the place. Then they decided to wash the dishes which led to water all over the place. Finally somehow.. I'm still not sure how... a little tornado went through the downstairs and destroyed everything.

I got home from my errand in time to make a thousand phone calls looking for an oral surgeon to take out my wisdom teeth and then pick up a few things before Damion walked in the door. There is still a pile of laundry taller than I am waiting to be folded on the couch and an even bigger pile of dirty dishes in the sink. I've mopped the floor downstairs twice this week but it's dirty again. My room is a mess, the girls room is a mess even though they are grounded from all their toys in there (so how the heck did the room get messy again?) The office is a mess and downstairs needs an intervention. This has been my life this past week. To top it all off, I'm still messing with this bad wisdom tooth that is making me feel bad and very very sleepy. Why is that I wonder? I know it's infected but can that really make you sleepy?

I have so many projects waiting for me that I want to do but I just can't get caught up on the housework to do it.

This weekend I think I might have to let the house go if I want to get any projects done but if I do that then it will just be waiting for me on monday. UGH.

The joys of motherhood.. and wifehood... and craziness.

Just FYI.. if I do get to work on anything this weekend.. I'm making this for the Princesses Room...
