I told Ev last night that I just can't keep our home clean anymore! These two boys are like little tornadoes destroying EVERYTHING in sight. Our house is so messy at the moment that one might think I've converted to the ways of a hoarder. Ok well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little.
And then to make me feel better, Ev said that CLEAN is not a constant. It's just a point in time. Our house cannot possibly always be clean because WE LIVE IN IT. It's true. We do live in it...a lot!
And that was enough to make me feel better about spending all day cuddling and taking care of Brampton who is sick...who asks for medicine because he wants his fever to go away and says thank you after every time I give it to him. How could I resist hearing him ask me, "Mom hold me, please"? I couldn't. I melted. And to think...my little one is going to be leaving me soon to go to school. I have to treasure these moments. Right? The house can wait. And I think I have finally accepted that...maybe...for the moment at least.
Just like blogging can wait...my sick one is calling me.

You are just too darn cute! Can you call Brandon and try to convince him of your recent revelations? ;0) He just doesn't get it yet. . .
Neither does my dad and they've been married 25 years. I guess when you still have four kids at home the mess does not surrender, you just have to. (I probably would, finals does it to me, not kids.)
The house cleaning thing drives me crazy! Once we do get it cleaned, it is dirty in one minute...oh! I like Evan's outlook on it!
P.S. I love your new blog background!
I know how you feel. I always feel like our house is a mess (it's true, it is messy) but sometimes I find myself looking at a toy on the floor and thinking, "It's ok, they're still playing with it, it can be there for a little while longer."
I don't think I inherited Dad's genes like Brandon but I still can't stand it when it's messy, that drives me crazy!
Poor little Brampton! Sick babies make me sad.
I feel like I can function in my house when it's a mess, so I appreciated this blog and hopefully I'll take a chill and let the kids be kids.
