I refuse to name this post!
Today has been wonderful. I woke up with the kids at 730, got them breakfast, turned on a show and got to work cleaning up the most disgusting messy house. It was seriously gross. It was clean the day before. I don't understand how it gets so bad so fast!! The kids watched one show and then played with eachother the rest of the day. They didn't even fight once! It was truely a miracle because that never happens these days. I was able to clean and clean until every corner of my house sparkled. Then I got in the shower and got ready for the day ( this was around 230 because my house really was that gross) and I sat down to take a break for about 25 minute before getting up to get dinner ready before Keaton got home. When I got up I looked around to see that the family room was once again convered in toys and their freshly cleaned bedroom was a mess. I made dinner and fed it to the kids and then my clean, beautiful kitchen was once again covered in dirty dishes. By the time Keaton got home the house looked like a bomb went off and I am left barely standing and feeling hopeless and defeated! Having a beautiful clean house is so important to me. I love the way a clean house feels and I want to feel that all the time! But more importantly I want my children to play and to grow there imaginations and go places that only exist while make believing!! I can't help but smile when I see matchbox cars in every room of my house. It lets me know who was there last. I love hearing the words "lets pretend...." over and over again and little giggles and loud laughter coming from my kids mouths as they make memories! I LOVE being a mom...THEIR mom. It is THE BEST! It even beats having a constantly clean house. I go to bed now feeling acomplished. As much as I would love my house to always be clean and everything in it's place, I hope it never is! Having kids really beats anything. My heart is full!!!

Such great perspective Marie. So true.
This was a sweet post. I get twitchy if my house gets too dirty but with four boys I started to learn to suppress the twitch because it is always a mess now :) I have no energy to clean the house at the end of the day so I usually do it at the beginning- which just makes it a blank canvas for the kids to explode all over! Poor Michael hasn't seen the house really clean in awhile. But I keep reminding myself in 15 years my house will stay clean-its kind of a sad thought....
