The windows are open doors opened and the house is filling with fresh air and everything is cleaned and vacuumed and mopped and the laundry is washing. Everything is getting germ free and it feels wonderful.
You might say I have a problem with germs. I'm kinda a germaphobe (?) I have to clean quite often prob more then the average. I used to spend a lot of my time wondering if this is normal or if it was a result of living with my mom whom I love lots but she is a neat freak herself.Now ive just accepted myself for who i am... Lol r u proud of me?
I'm hoping I'm normal but then again what is "normal" anyway? I think we r all a bit crazy and abnormal. I like things clean that's ok right? I know I'm a mom with three kids so I should just let the mess happen right? Well I do with toys and such but not dirt. I can't handle dirt. I prob clean my floors 2x a day cause in my silly brain i know there is a good chance someone will eat off the floor or lick it knowing my kids. And there are rarely dishes in my sink and if there is a sink full of dishes there is easily an explanation and it's usually either I'm sick or one of the kids are (thank goodness that seems to be rare) We dont allow shoes in the house and and I still prob vacuum 3x a week.
Oh but my room is kinda the exception. I'm not afraid to share my dirty little secret... My room is the "dump all" place. Partly because there is always a baby sleeping in there or my husband who sleeps during the day so I can't really put things away so I just leave piles here and there of things that need to be filed or put away in drawers. So if you ever come over don't go in my room! Lol and if you do I warned you!!
But let me tell you my down fall, it's laundry!! I HATE laundry.! In fact my friend had the most awesome idea and that was that I would bring all my dirty laundry over and we would both have a huge Bon fire! Yea that would be awesome!! Well if we had a bunch of $$ to go buy new stuff it would have been a great problem solver right? Lol
I do not enjoy it at all! People have said it therapeutic to fold laundry... If your one of those people I've got lots for u to come do any time you need some therapy! Seriously anytime! :-)
Can't wait till the girls r older and I can give each a chore to do! Those will be the days! I already have it planned out
Sarah: laundry (she already folds the best)
Sophia: car washer (cause she loves music so she can blast it while she washes)
Sydney: dishes (I think she already like the sink since she loves her baths there)
Mommy: taking a bubble bath!!
Why do think I had kids? Duh!!!

Sick days....
I'm grateful for they don't come around here very often. My poor Sarah princess pie woke up this morning around 1am throwing up. After mommy did alot of cleaning and changing of sheets (needless to say I only went to bed a couple of hours prior) we snuck downstairs and watched a movie and she continued to throw up :( my poor girlie. I hate seeing my baby sick and something this mommy (who wants to fix everything) can't.!! Isn't that the most frustrating thing about motherhood? We can't fix it all and sometimes we have to watch our babies suffer :(
I took the night shift so to speak. I needed husband to be rested enough to help out today so I stayed up and nurtured our baby girl. Fed Sydney a couple of times and then crawled into bed about 5ish and woke up hubby to go down and be with Sarah. I think I got a couple of hours of sleep... Maybe?
Sarah has been sleeping for a few hours now let's hope it's a few more. I am doing lots of praying and spraying. Yep you read that right. Walking around praying over my family and spraying everything they touch with Lysol. Windows and doors open and fan on so we can kill and air out bad germs.
And let's not forget to mention I'm on my second cup of coffee and maybe even a 3rd later today. Its time like this I will admit I wish Sydney wanted formula. Then I can be all hyped up on caffeine and it wouldn't affect anyone but me. but ok ok ok I won't do it... Yet. Lol hehehe
Ok well our spirits r still up as of now. But we r accepting prayers for us today. Never really ask for much but this I would so appreciate :-)
And I know this is silly but when I post it on Facebook it really does help when people respond saying they will pray. I love having that quick instant connection with friends from all over.
Thanks friends

Theme of today... Let it be and pick it up later
So our days have slowed down and I am choosing to enjoy them! It is officially 1 yr till our lives get busy with drop off and pick up from school for Sarah and I am choosing to enjoy these days where we don't have to be anywhere! Of course except my moms groups at church and our occasional co-op preschool group 2x a month. But besides that our theme for our days it relax and enjoy each other! So we have been enjoying our home a lot and my girls love staying home and playing with their toys and coloring and playing with sidewalk chalk and paints and playdough.... You name it they love it. I spend a lot of my day watching them enjoy these messy days and I know these days will be in the past some day and I want to look back and know that I throughly enjoyed em. My girls have brought me such joy and I'm so grateful for them.! Who knew I would have three 3 girls to raise? Not me! Lol I never imagined I would have these three little blessings calling me mommy and looking up to me and depending on me to feed em bathe em and love em.! My goodness that's a lot to ask of me and I can only bring it back to one point. That God must love me so much and trust in me so much to give these girls to me and my husband.
With that said.... I am by no means a perfect mommy I loose my cool like everyone else and somedays I have zero patients for the "kid" stuff and sometimes I wonder if I am doing a good job at this job I was given and I pray I don't fail and I pray God guides me through this gracefully and calmly and that I hope other people will also see how I am trying and I also hope people see I'm not perfect but that I am doing my best at being a good mommy and I wake up every morning with the same thoughts and prayers that today I will show my children Grace. And that I will remind myself throughout the day that it is an absolute honor to be their mommy and that I get to serve them.! That's a huge thing and words can almost not describe how I feel about this honor.
