I remember everytime I walked in it felt like a museum to me, and let me tell you I loved it. My house was always messy and it seemed like my mom could never get around to picking things up. <br />Me, being the clean freak that I was, really enjoyed going to my grandparents where even the cereal was alphabatized not a cob web in a corner, or a weed in the garden....<br />Now that I am a mom, I know why my house was messy as a child and now it is as an adult. I go to my parents house now and, what do you know, it is just as clean as my grandparents house was when I was little.<br />I often wonder if as an older adult you just have learned how to manage your time so well that it seems like there may be too much of it...<br />There will be time for all of these things, I once had an older gentleman tell me that raising his children was the best time of his life.<br />In the perfect scenario we will be married for 65+ years and approximatley 30 of that will be raising our children which means we will have 35+ years to clean, now that sounds exhausting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045399108483976028.post-58015426323714861832011-06-27T18:21:58.314-04:002011-06-27T18:21:58.314-04:00wow. i know you posted this a few days a go, but I...wow. i know you posted this a few days a go, but I needed it tonight. the closer homeschooling gets, the more I am afraid I cannot pull it off. how will i cook,clean volunteer, and make time for my husband when I am homeschooling if I can't do it now? but you know what? maybe I need to expect a little less of myself. so tonight the kiddos are having frozen, preservative laden, non organic pizza for supper. and I am ok with that!Dizzyhappymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918357691353398819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045399108483976028.post-52809595587215115342011-06-23T15:03:58.100-04:002011-06-23T15:03:58.100-04:00Once again, you must be reading my mind:)I was jus...Once again, you must be reading my mind:)I was just thinking about this same thing not 5 min before I sat down at my computer. So weird. The summer seems to be flying by. We've been so busy doing things, mostly fun things and things I want to do, but still doesn't leave much time for just relaxing. I was just thinking that I need to find some sort of balance, but it's so hard to fit everything in that we want to do. What do I leave off the list? I also think I have a hard time relaxing. I feel not only guilty, but it seems like my body doesn't know how to just sit and do nothing. <br />Speaking of doing things, We should try to arrange a trip back to that lake we went to last year if we can get Erica in town for it. My kids had a blast last year and I'm sure would love to do it again.Shannonnoreply@blogger.com
