The Cleaning Lady...

Anyone who knows me knows how much I hate to clean. HATE it. I have a couple of friends who actually enjoy cleaning, and I wish I had their knack for organization, and motivation. But I don't, and I don't think I ever will. I have come to terms with that. Sometimes I wish my husband loved to clean so it would get done happily... but nope. He hates to clean too. I've seen him sweep one time since we got married almost 3 years ago. And vacuum once too. But I can't hop on the "blame my husband" train because he works 12 hour days and the last last LAST thing he should be worried about is coming home and cleaning. That is just how I feel, personally. But it still stinks and I hate it.  But it has to get done.
So I made a handy dandy schedule.


I am hoping this is helpful. It's basically a "things that need to get done during nap time" schedule. And it all really rests on what mood Luke is in while Anthony sleeps. I am glad that Anthony actually has a predictable 2 hour nap during the day though. It is just hard not to relax during those 2 hours. It will be even harder once Project Runway starts up again...

We're back!

     Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies.       My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk.      So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play.  Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs:  "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.

Saturday Fun!
