Notice the things that are shoved to the side?
Making just enough room to get by. Just enough room to set the table for breakfast. Just enough room to open the door, get up the stairs, type on the computer.
It's just a sampling of the house. Sadly every room is in that state. Things are shoved aside in the bathroom giving just enough room to take care of personal hygiene.
I try, I really do. The pictures you see are the ones taken after I at least picked up the toys, because no matter how you paint it, if there's very little room to move around, cars/animals on the floor just aren't going to work for personal safety. They get stepped on... and then cursed at under my breath. But that's beside the point.
The point. My point that I'm trying to get at, is that's it's okay. It's okay to have times where you do just enough. It's not a sign of laziness, apathy, or bad housekeeping. It does not mean you are a bad person. It does not mean anything negative at all. It means that there are some things that are just more important. It may mean that you have so many irons in the fire that a nice clean organized house is just not in the cards for awhile. And that's okay.
I saw something on facebook a few nights ago that said "You didn't let your three year old drive the car today right? Then you're a good mom!"
Take that to heart my friends. Are your children still alive at the end of the day? Did they get fed? Success!
On a side note, this happened:
He turned three months old last Saturday. Three whole months!! He's filled out, he's babbling all the time, he's smiling and happy and such a blessing in my life. And usually he gets more of my time than just enough. Just as it should be.
