Being a Mommy is hard work.
Today, Makayla has already made a mess with water in the bathroom on three different occasions.
Addison is getting into the crayons and eating them.
I have done three loads of laundry today.
And two loads of dishes.
My floors still aren't clean because I can't seem to find the time to do them.
I have no idea what we are going to eat for dinner.
The playroom is a mess.
I am not a perfect mother. I don't keep a perfect house.
Sometimes that bugs me, but most of the time, I get over it.
Other things need to be done.
Like, feeding my two beautiful children breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even though I have no idea what we'll be eating for dinner and it's almost 5pm.
Like, playing with them and enjoying the moment.
Like, watching Makayla color with permanent marker.
Some days I feel like I have accomplished nothing. I still have the girls' laundry to fold and I'll have to put the dishes away that are in the dishwasher.
The bathrooms still need to be cleaned, too.
But, I am constantly picking things up and putting them back where they belong.
So how is my house almost always a mess and how is everything not clean?
I guess I'm particular about where items go, but not if my floors are clean.
Oh well. I'm not a perfect mother. But, I'm darn proud of my girls.
P.S. Who wants to donate $190 to our adoption?! If you do, we'll be FULLY FUNDED to turn in our dossier!!! What an amazing blessing that would be!!!! :D

Thanks for following me - just noticed you had jumped on board! Funny thing is - my daughter's name is also Addison and her best friend McKayla. :) What is your request for your adoption?
#4 (or #5, we go back and forth) - since MARCH for an infant daughter. We started Aug of 2009. Pretty depressing this month :(
Absolutely LOVE this post! I think I remind myself every day about how it isn't about the house, it's about making it a home. And sometimes that includes having marker on the walls, ramen noodles for dinner and laundry piled up on at least two pieces of furniture. :)
Motherhood is a very hard job, but the most rewarding, as well! If it comforts you, your list sounds a whole lot like mine! :)
