EVERYDAY!!!!!

How many times in one day can I repeat the exact same task with zero affirmation that I am doing any kind of a good job? I wake up I start the coffee, unload the dishwasher, re-load any nighttime dish, wipe the counters, pour my coffee, sit and read my Bible. The reading is interrupted by tears of a waking baby. I make breakfast, put the dishes in the dishwasher, wipe the counters, clean food off the floor, oh Care pooped, clean the diaper- left some food on the floor when I carried her out mid eating to change the diaper. She plays with her toys while I try and teach her scripture, nap-time, mommy cleans up the toys with the "help" of Care (she is 15 months- you can only imagine, but we are learning). Go tidy the kitchen, do laundry, make the bed, do more laundry, pick up the messes which feel endless. Care's awake diaper duty on, playing with Care, lunch, running errands, screaming baby, NAP TIME, clean the kitchen, do the dishes, fold the laundry, Care's awake early- didn't get to put the laundry up.

House never really looks clean, and as if I am not fully aware of the short comings that I am doing it is sure to be pointed out to me in some way shape or form. The frig was not cleaned out, would you mind vacuuming, and our bathroom looks like a wet monkey was turned loose with a towel. And don't you know, the house could be perfect all day long, but 10 minutes before Luke gets back we take a break from playtime-leaving the toys as is and go have a snack. I attempt to clean while Care eats, Care decides to fling all her food off the high chair, the laundry needs to be switched immediately or it will forever smell like mildew, there are sheets in the dryer that I have to put somewhere- I guess the kitchen table will do, I have ten important piles all sitting on the counter (I am a piler) all a nessesity that I will get to shortly but there is no time now, Care is screaming and wants out of her highchair- food is everywhere in her hair on her clothes in the seat on the floor. In walks Luke and it looks like a tornado has just come through our house. In his defense, it does not look like I have lifted a finger. However, I have been repeating the same clean up tasks all day long. With no one but God to see and NO ONE believes me.

AM I THE ONLY ONE?????????

I love the job! This is the best job ever, but it just stinks that it always seems to go down pretty much the same way. Every single time that I think that I have it going on in walks company at the absolute messiest time. I love having company, I just pray that they all forgive the explosion that happens 10 minutes before they get to my house. So if you are one of my vistors, please do not think that I have been rude by not tidying before you come. I promise I have been cleaning for you. Unfortunately, it is never as clean as I would like it to be. Oh well, life is to short the company is one of my most favorite parts!

Too Cute

Caroline with her Mimi and Papa D and her Daddy! Look at all the love!

Park playday

Oh what a fun day we had at the park! I just love taking pictures with my new camera!

Don't they look so cute on the swing together?
I am so proud of these pictures! I am really trying to figure this whole camera thing out!


Ok this is Caroline's bear, she LOVES it! Aunt Calee and Uncle Robert gave it to her and she has loved it since she was a baby.


I do not know why I like this picture, but I think that it is kind of fun.

Caroline and Doug

Ok so I am soooooo sorry to be sooooo slow for the next blog! So if you did not already know this precious baby boy is our Godson Doug who we all LOVE dearly and whom I keep most days while his mommy works. He is exactly 3 months older than Care and they think that they are twins! It is so sad for us that they are moving!

He came with our family to TN last week and these are some of our play pictures. Aren't they sooooo cute?

I just love my Care Bear and her swinging arm!

My sweet little Dougie, doesn't he look like a little man? Oh, I just love him!
