It's ok to be Messy

I am beginning to understand why mothers with 2 or more

kids have homes that aren't always clean. It's hard to keep everything

tidy when your kid is potty training and insists on sitting on the toilet

wrong and the pee lands everywhere but, the place it should go.

So I throw her in the shower and throw a towel on the floor,

while at the same time the baby screams because she is

starving and has been starving since halfway through the WIC

appointment that lasted two hours. Not to mention her diaper needs

to be changed. So while sister is in the shower

I start to feed the baby, then cut her off to take

sister out of the shower and plead with sister to put

her panties on herself since she is fully capable.

Then I remember it's lunch time and the kid is hungry too! So

I try to make a pb & j while feeding the baby in one hand

because both are tired and emotional

and everyone knows how loud Elizabeth's high pitched cry is.

serious multi tasking...

Then while all three of us are eating I realize my house is

a disaster and RElive the morning and all the

tantrums/pee/tears

and say

Oh well.

Now it is quiet while the little ones rest.

All I can think of is

This is what life is about

Making memories !!!
