Restless...

I am restless.

It's been a weird day. Had so much to do and didn't feel like getting anything done. So I slowly plugged away at some things...but not everything. Then tonight when all I wanted to do was be done I decided to clean the bathrooms, do laundry, and finish the kitchen - all in between getting the kids baths and to bed.

Not the most efficient timing but at least some of the items on my "to do" list are gone until Monday. I know I couldn't have relaxed at all tomorrow if they were still hanging around.

P.S. Poll - does anyone else feel crazy when their children simply cannot keep a room clean? I had them clean up the family room probably a dozen times today. Maybe that is why after they were all upstairs I had to finally give it a good once over...so it will stay done for the approximately 8-10 hours that they will be asleep.

Oh don't worry I go insane over messy rooms on a daily basis. I am amazed at how long it takes to pick up but how quick they are able to demolish it again. It should be an Olympic sport.

Someone once shared a thought with me...I think it was a cartoon in a magazine.

Cleaning the house with little children home is akin to shoveling your driveway during a snowstorm.

I take great comfort in that thought. Guess homes with little children - or just lots of children - are not meant to have every room clean at the same time.

In my sane moments I recognize that I will be very sad when the day comes that my house gets clean and stays clean. That would mean all my kids are gone.
