Rearrange

So today I decided to be slightly insane. I decided in my lack of coffee haze of the morning that rearranging the living room, doing dishes, making pizza and pancakes, several loads of laundry (this included me throwing it all down the stairs. It seemed more efficient at the time.), and of course attempt to get everything put away afterwards was a good idea to tackle in one day. Oh, and did I mention blog? Granted to be fair the kids, Josh, and I have all been sick off and on for the last three weeks, and before that we had gotten home from a long trip. So the house has been kinda on the back burner aside from the basics of a little laundry and keeping up on the dishes. I finally have the time and the energy to tackle it all. Ok, rephrase. I thought I had the time and energy. Turns out it's a bigger project than I thought. Ok so a bigger project meaning it will take me two days to get this house Martha Stewart worthy and not one. Oh well.

You know even though I'm behind on cleaning house, for once I don't feel guilty about it. Probably because I'm taking a page out of Kristina Kuzmic's life. Be mom. Everything else will fall in line if you take care of you. This means that I've spent the last three weeks taking more walks with the kids, getting workouts, cooking, snuggling and watching movies with my kids, and napping. While some days it was still rough with the kids super cranky from being sick, for the most part I have been feeling surprisingly sane. I'm slightly unnerved. Just kidding. Actually it's a wonderful feeling. And even better now that the house is getting back to being clean.

With Pandora rocking and kids asleep, I should probably get back to work cleaning but before I go, remember this moms. Even if your house isn't perfect your sanity is far more important. Take time for you and take a load off. Just be you and be mom. The rest will follow. Crazy mom out!
