This Messy Life

I got up this morning and took a look at the house. It looked like the house threw up! There in front of me sat a counter full of dishes from last night, the living room full of train tracks and Thomas the trains. legos and the bedrooms terrible. Speaking of bedrooms, I have 5 boys whose room smells like a barn. Why does a boys room smell like a barn you ask? Good question! I am still trying to figure that one out myself. And Febreeze is even scared to touch it! 

I sat there with my coffee and wondered how in the world does it get this messy. It's really hard for me because I am a neat freak. I like things properly in it's place and no one to touch it. Which is hard with several little ones plotting to move your things from it's tidy little spot. I know that it should be easy to "tidy up" but we seem to spend our lives "tidying up". Our family must be so inefficient to be so ineffective. It also seems to me that when we have super busy weekends the house is worse. Maybe because there are little monsters that come out of the dark and make the mess?

Anyway, I sat there today saying to myself. I can do this! I can do this! I am bigger than the mess! Maybe? I drank my coffee and got to it. I decided today would be a good day to pair down clothes and toys and I did just that. However, my son aka Cater Salad is still working on the dishes.

And just for cuteness heres Maddie Moo! Happy Wednesday!!
