Yes.
I remember being home with Logan and every new landmark, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc., meant I was that much closer to leaving him every day. I am SO thankful for this opportunity to try out being a SAHM - for however long I get to have it.
BUT, it is not without its, um, not so finer points? I feel like all I do all day is run behind Logan picking up his stuff so I don't want to lock myself the bathroom and cry because of the clutter OR hold Tess while she struggles to learn how to poop without screaming for 10 minutes beforehand.
Here's a stillshot of my day - and I can only stay "still"shot because Logan finally took a nap today!

No worries, the only thing still on the floor now is the cute baby but my tornado should be awake again in an hour...

oh my-lanta. i cannot even tell you how much i love this. this picture is so perfect in so many ways. thank you. thank you for sharing. i want more. where's the rest of your house?
I think every mom should be required to put a picture like this on their blog. If you saw mine right now, you would feel organized. I dont think you can see anything besides piles of laundry folded and needing to be put away (well half folded cause Channer has helped a little bit). Seriously, this makes me feel normal. THANKS!!
PS~At least I do not see crushed up cereal and goldfish everywhere.
I know exactly how you feel on both counts. I have the messy toddler that I pick up after all day and the crying baby who can't seem to poop. This made me smile!!!
Bahahahahahahahahaha! I am laughing SO hard! Welcome welcome. I'm amazed you actually pick it up during the day. I would say just wait and you'll only pick up once a day...or week...whatever...but you'll probably be better than me. I tell myself it'll be better when I'm done with school. (scoff) If I took a picture of my house you'd think yours was nothing. It's only awful when a funky smell starts emitting from somewhere you can't quite locate or someone unexpectedly shows up....
I just showed Austin this post. His comment? "Wow, her house is clean". (laughing really hard) I love you. I really do.
I should clarify that the fact that there is a big space in the middle there where I had extra space to type reminds me that this is actually not that bad a shot at the front room. Not bad at all.
Oh Kim, this makes me feel so good! really! I went to bed crying last night because of this same kind of situation! We are feeding the missionaries in 2 hours and my house looks just like this, but I can't decide if it's more important to pick up or hold my sweet baby. For the past three months I've been trying to be super mom despite everyone's advice to just ignore the mess! I think I have finally come to the point where I might consider ignoring some of it. It is so hard because I am such a clean person. On the otherhand I am so sick of not only picking up after Parker...but Brian and his bro too! Ugh. I honestly don't know how every dish in my house gets dirty twice a day! Anyways...I'm glad you posted this cause it really does make me feel better. We really can't do it all!
Haha! I love it! The joys to look forward to after kids! But really, I am impressed! That is not bad at all; no worries! You are great!
