NEVER clean

Jenn showing her attitude.

If she could take this everywhere, she would!

Passed out, still not feeling 100%

Our new pets, now she wants a pink cat!

Well, we got to go outside FINALLY!!!!! I know that I should NOT have taken them out, but I just couldn't resist, the girls were wanting to go out and the sun was happy!!!! Grace is still not 100% nor is Jenni, but maybe the sun would help them feel a little better. We got Grace all signed up to play soccer, and she got her first pet, fish! She picked out what fish she wanted and she then named them. The fish are called Megan, Jessica, Sparky, and Tiny. She knows which one is which, and she can even here them call for her when they are hungry. I know, she is totally excited, but I can't help but laugh like a fool when I hear to say "Mom, I heard my fish call me, they need to eat."

My stress as a mom is starting to soar as we enter the nice weather months, so much stuff going on, and not a lot of time to get things done. I have felt so overwhelmed lately and I just can't seem to shake the anxiety of it all. I have to make grocery lists, and do the shopping, pay the bills, make dinners and lunches and breakfasts, do laundry, change diapers, give baths, brush hair and teeth, make sure we have diapers and wipes. Not to mention watch the clocks to make sure we actually eat, sleep and play at the right times through the day. There is so much more stuff that I have to schedule and then remember when I scheduled it all. Screw time to clean up the mess and the house! Life as a mom is so much more then I ever really realized, my house is pretty much NEVER clean, but my kids are thoroughly read to every day, and to me that is my priority. Having a clean house is really not that important, but playing with them while I still can and while they still like me, that is a big deal to me. When I am away from the girls I feel guilty, I tend to have a overly high sense of guilt that I should be home, home and taking care of my kids. I try to remember that I need a night off, or even just a few hours away, that it will make me and them feel a little better. Sometimes it works, most times, I just stress myself out about missing them. UGH! Thank God for girlfriends who make me realize that I am not crazy, just normal!
