Where did she go?

I’m not feeling on my A game today. Seems a perfect time to blog, right?

I seem to thrive on chaos and spontaneity but I am starting to realize that just might not be working so great as the caretaker of this house and my children and my soul. So since the kids are now in school, I have been attempting to actually grow up, grab chaos by his…throat and conquer it once and for all. I’m talking about tackle my house, my kids (figuratively of course), and my own personal temple. Apparently this is an all day, everyday endeavor and sometimes I wonder if I will ever actually conquer it at all. But I am trying, one step at a time.

I’m weeks into the school year and I thought it would be so different. I thought it would be more of a break, kinda like last year where Lily and I snuggled all day and I just tried not to vomit or fall over. But with a new baby and a very busy 4 year old, I seem to barely have a chance to stop and eat an uninterrupted lunch! If  I have a moment where I am not holding a baby or catering to 4 year old or holding a baby, I’m cleaning. I’ve never been known for my housekeeping skills so it may kill me.

I will say that the funnest part is dejunking.

I am a dejunking whore.

If my kids aren’t careful, they may get thrown away or donated.

Unfortunately, I may have thrown out my mojo in the process.

One of the things I’ve been working on is getting rid of all these old papers. So I bought a shredder and I’ve gone crazy on 11 years worth of papers. I even have a little helper:

Ain’t I lucky??

I know, you want my life.
