I feel like I’m way behind again. Like everywhere I look in my house, there are mountains of various sizes and shapes, and I’m trying to attack them with a baby spoon. I’m overwhelmed.
I have piles of laundry in at least 3 rooms of the house, all in various stages of done-ness. I haven’t vacuumed or dusted in ages. I desperately need to clean bathrooms and wash the hard floors again. The ironing is just waiting where I dropped it, last week. Thankfully, I did get the kitchen sort of cleaned up last night (even swept the floor), but that will be undone by lunchtime today. It just never ends, does it?
(I frankly don’t know how all you mommies with full-time jobs do it all. You all are awesome!)
Anyway, I realize that Eric being gone for a week, trying to stay ahead of twins, and holding up under 16 weeks of pregnancy are all reasons for my getting behind in housework. But it’s still frustrating to look around the house and see only “what-still-hasn’t-been-done” everywhere I look. *sigh*
Okay, enough whining.
I certainly have other, happier, things to share. So on with those.
The babies gave each other real hugs yesterday. It was too cute! They are at such a fun stage, with their waddle-y walks and full-out belly laughs. Of course, there are full-out screaming fits, too, but the laughs are more fun to think about. Erin will kiss me, and it’s pretty much a real kiss, not just smearing her open mouth on me. And Alex is my snuggle boy. There are more jibberish-sounds that sound like real words all the time. And I got some great video of them which, if I can get it done today, I will try to post for you to watch.
And best of all, we seem to be returning to a “regular” sleep pattern. Praise Jesus!
Okay, I guess that’s where things stand. I did actually get to exercise a bit before babies got up. So now I can get my day moving a lot faster than we have been able to recently. So…off to shower! Happy Wednesday!
