Jun. 29, 2006 - Big Day Tomorrow
Tomorrow is a big day at my house. My two youngest (boys) are having their birthday party. Noah was 2 on the 16th of June and Ty will be 3 on hte 9th of July. So, technically they are both 2 right now. They are 11 months apart and it is so much fun. There was a time when it was a huge hassle, and we still have our moments, but as they each get older it gets much better.
We are having a pool party at my brother's pool. The boys love the water. They are like fish. My girls love the water now, but not when they were the boys ages.
It is a sort of sad time. I can't believe my baby is 2. Unless there is a miracle from God we will not be having any more children; my husband had surgery 2 years ago. Somedays I think I want more children and maybe we should look into adopting, but then my kids have a bad day and I change my mind. Maybe that will be different in a few years. Maybe when the kids are a little older. Right now I have a 6, 4, 3, & 2 year old. Things are a little crazy.
I have realized that an immaculate house it just not practical for me. I kill myself trying to keep this house clean. There are always toys around. We pick up the living room 3 times a day. There are usually homeschool books stacked in our dinning room/homeschool room. And the laundry...oh the laundry!!! We have lived in this house for 4 years and I think I have only been 100% caught up 1-2 times. Isn't that sad. I tell myself that I have had 3 babies in the 4 years we have been in this house and so I wasn't able to get a lot done. But I don't know if that is the real reason. I have the kids to chores, but it never seems to be enough. I am going to sit down and make some sort of schedule for keeping up with the house. Somethings has to change before school starts this fall. By the way, my house isn't nasty, it gets vacuumed every day and dusted once a week. But the clutter is overwhelming.
Well, I just needed to get this out of my head.
