Dusting off the blog...

Well it's been over half a year since I have been on and updated the blog so I figured it is time. I will do my best at updating, but I have decided not to set unreasonable expectations! We are ALWAYS busy that is the nature of young children and being out numbered by them! It is ALL wonderful busy and I want to relish it and enjoy it because I know it is going by too quickly! Our "baby" turns 4 in two days...how did this happen? Where did the time go? I don't know there are days that I feel like will never end and weeks that disappear in the blink of an eye! What I do know is that when I look at the time so far it has been happy- trying (we have had a lot of changes and moves thus far and molding these little ones to become good responsible people is hard work)..yes, but happy! I want to take more time and just be in the now. Stop cleaning or working on the computer to hear and listen to what my kids are saying to me. It's so easy to get wrapped up in my to do list and all that needs to be done! The reality is that the dust, dirt, work and laundry will ALWAYS be there (unfortunately I do not possess bewitched magic). So I am trying to let go of my neat freak tendencies and remember while those things will never go away until I address them my kids will NOT always be here and be in this stage that they are in! I know that I am going to turn around and they will be these grown up people. When this happens I want to feel that although it did go by too quickly that I am not full of regret! I took the time I could and enjoy my children! This sounds so easy, but it really isn't because the demands of running a house is overwhelming! So on this final note..I have laundry to start, dishes to do, a house to pick up, bathrooms and floors to clean etc. etc. etc. but FIRST I have kids to play with, listen to, hug, kiss and LOVE unconditionally!!
