Well, it's January 2nd and my house is still in disarray from the holidays! I'm not an organized person by any means, but when things get crazy and the rooms that we spend the most time in as a family begins to look like a tornado went through it I tend to have a little hissy fit.
I have been working more hours and unfortunately my house has been neglected. But with our schedules getting back to somewhat of a normal schedule on Monday there is a glimmer of hope!
I have been so sick today, with some kind of a nasty stomach bug. I get frustrated when I get sick like this because I can't do much of anything but lay around and I HATE that.
But we as mothers don't do that enough. Shouldn't we be allowed to take a "sick day" once in awhile? We are so busy taking care of others and worrying about the day to day things in life that we forget to take care of ourselves.
And the next time I fuss about how big of a mess my kids make I will
THANK GOD for the messes my family creates because I HAVE a family
THANK GOD for the mess.
THANK GOD for days like today, when I'm forced into a mommy time out, so to speak.
THANK GOD for a HOUSE that can get messy. Because not everybody has that.
Next time you find yourself in the same position as me remember that beyond that mess is a family that is built on love and that is the most important!
