Don't ya just hate it when you are trying to play catch-up on your blog, you try to do to many things at the same time, run to take care of something else, not save the draft, come back to find out your, oh so sweet and precious, 2 year old has somehow deleted the whole thing! I know I do! Needless to say, I will try again tomorrow! For now I will rant and rave about my crazy children, out of control dogs, and insane life! Sounds like fun!
Dogs: ~dogs are not meant to be on the table! especially fat dogs with tiny legs! But somehow Maggie the loopy dog can manage it. It drives me NUTS! we try to push all the chairs in, but sometimes someone forgets, and what does that lead to. Doggie on table - not a pretty sight. (note to those who sometimes eat at my house - I wash the table!)
~poop happens. wouldn't it be great if dogs used the toilet and flushed! I am all for it! would someone please invent some thing to help with this, or at least a pooper scooper that works on it's own!
Children: ~Grace is crazy! Blake says i just don't remember, but I think how could I forget something so awful? no space is safe from grace. no homework assignment is safe from grace. the world is not safe with grace on the loose! Will she out grow this? Is this the terrible twos or just what grace will be like the rest of her life? I'll i keep saying is that if caleb was like grace we would only have 4 kids. don't get me wrong, I love that little girl, but she is driving me CRAZY!
Life: ~do you ever feel like all you do is laundry? yep that is me. or how bout cleaning, ya clean just so they can make it messy and dirty. i what to go on strike, in fact today i did nothing but go to the gym, go to a field trip, go running, make dinner and put kids to bed. no cleaning (except dishes) and the house looks like it! Grace has decided to pull all that fake moss stuff off our silk tree, and throw it on the carpet. Spencer read like 15 books this morning to the two little ones and left them all laying on the couch and floor. My children walk in the door and drop all their things on the floor. (that's not all, there is much more, but you really don't want to know it all do you?) I haven't done anything, or said anything. I'm on strike, or maybe I'm just taking the day off. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. There are no excuses for tomorrow.
So this is longer than i thought, sorry! now you have a glimpse inside me. I'll really catch-up tomorrow. Until then, I'll try to enjoy the craziness i call life!

My attitude is the housework will ALWAYS be there. So once in while, just leave it. When the kids leave in the morning, just start on one end and pick it all up. Or better yet, put it in a box and make them sort it out after school! Glad to hear you went running. Just be careful to keep balance--in housework, exercise, family, and fun.
Sometimes I wonder why I clean. I tell Tim about the many household chores that look all undone by the time he gets home. In fact today, the moment he walked in the door I took him down to see the toyroom--so that he could see that it was clean!! The kids were banned from the room for the rest of the day.
Sarah, I'm glad I'm not the only one going through all of that! Now, put your dogs TOGETHER with Grace and you have my dog!!! I didn't want any more kids and I surely didn't want a dog. I've also never posted picture of the inside of my house because it's NEVER clean. I just can not keep up!!
Laundry and Dishes, Laundry and Dishes! That's what I do over and over and over again. Not to mention everything else that should be cleaned daily in my house.
Grace sounds like my sweet Shay. All I can say is buckle up and have fun because she's going to give you the ride of your life!
Going on strike sounds like a good idea (as long as a maid would come in and do all the work so that things don't get even worse around my house!). Just last night while I was finally getting caught up on folding baskets and baskets of laundry my two littlest ones pulled out four 500 peice puzzles and dumped them all out into one big mixed up pile. At that moment I felt like throwing everything in my house away so I wouldn't have to keep cleaning it up over and over! But one day these kids will be all grown up and I know I will miss having them little, even though it makes life crazy!
