My new motto

I've been struggling with keeping up with the laundry and all of the other mundane never-ending chores of housewifery. The endless cycle. Sometimes seeing the clutter or the things undone drives me crazy. But I came across a quote that is my new motto:

"An immaculate house is a sign of a misspent life."

Brilliant. That's right- my life is VERY well spent because my house is FAR from immaculate! All kidding aside, I need to really work on changing my attitude. It's hard to not be frustrated when everything is disheveled and nothing is balanced. But I may just have to deal with the fact that from now on, things may never be in order. My house may never be as clean as it used to be.

Another thing, I wouldn't want my kids or my husband to remember me as a frustrated mom/wife. I want them to remember me as someone who put them first. Not the house. I want to play with Isaiah and not freak out that the furniture is a little dusty. I want enjoy my time with my husband. Yet, I do need to find some balance, and do the important chores. I'm sure I will find it in time. Isaiah is changing by the minute, and so does his and my routine, so it makes it hard to keep focused. For now, I'm just happy to have clean underwear. I guess this will have to be enough!
