Well as you can see I have not posted in awhile, been sort of busy around here. Back to work after maternity leave and still trying to manage a household with 4 kids and a husband. It takes a lot of work I tell you. Thing is most of it would be easy, but the laundry is my utter downfall. Tell me how in the world laudry multiplies like it does and I would understand, what I can't understand is how in a weeks time two older boys can both have 10+ pair of pants, 7-15 shirts, socks and underwear by the handfuls. Oh, I'd be only so lucky just to have the laundry troll eat a few articles of clothing from time to time.
And don't get me started on the kitchen.....white cabinets, what was I thinking when we bought this house? After all the male species can not see dirt, especially on WHITE cabinets. And I have to reintroduce the boys to the dust pan, funny thing is they can't seem to remember how to use it, because I find pills of dirt swept up on the floor, next to the garbage can. Guess they are hoping since it found its way on the floor, it might just jump its way into the garbage can.
Nope just leave it there and after I work my 12 hr shift at the hospital, I will come home and clean too. Sounds like a lot of fun. I pray that when they marry down the road that their wives are much more understanding, because I have tried and tried to teach them how to do things right. So to their future wives, I apologize.
Now my dear husband is a wonderful man, but boy can he procrastinate. We have home remodel projects that have been going on for over 2.5 yrs and still waiting to be finished. Some of them only minor details. If we ever sold this house we would have at least 3 weeks worth of projects to finish before we could even consider that. A girl can hope, maybe one day soon!
My two smaller kiddos are doing well, the 2.5 yr old is getting bigger every day, well in attitude not size. Amazing how sponge like they are, they absorb everything and you have no idea on what will come out of their mouth at any given moment. Two year old also have no fear, it amazes me what he will do and try again. I hope that is a trait he will carry on with him as he gets older. I don't want him to be afraid of anything and always willing to try new things, even sky diving if he so choses. Our 4 month old is changing so fast too, she is not the baby she was at 4-6 wks of age, she is developing her cute personality and is always smiling this big toothless grin. She is amazing and I just sit and stare at her when she is asleep and think that I had a part in creating this beautiful little girl. I don't know what lies ahead for her, but I hope she is just like me in some aspect, strong willed, knows what she wants and will do what it takes to get there, but I also hope she gets her daddys soft heart and patience and she will remember all the good values we will have tried to teach her.
Well not much more I can say except the LAUNDRY calls!
