Remember that old Staples office supply commercial where the parents are singing the Christmas carol... "It's the most wonderful time of the year..."??? It's my new theme song! Well if you remember it...the father is singing away as he rides the shopping cart through the store buying school supplies while the kids are sadly walking as slow as can be with such grumpy faces. I am sure that Mark and I are far more excited for the kids to be back in school than they are now. I think the novelty is wearing off for them and reality is setting in. Early mornings... homework... projects... early bed time.. you know, all the GOOD stuff.
Now that the kids for the most part are getting healthy again, this was my first week to not have any sick kids at home with the exception of Reese. You can imagine the excitement at our house this week. FINALLY... I have been able to conquer the house again. After a summer full of wild, mind-blowing, mess-making, tornado-trashing kids running around the house, I was more than ready to regain control of the house in every which way possible. It truly had been months since I felt like I had the laundry and clutter under control and I can't remember how long it has been since I was able to decided what to have for dinner before.. hmm... 5pm. I guess it has unfortunately helped that Reese had been very sick again this week with a fever and we have been stuck at home too. I get a lot of things done when I am home all day with just a little one around. We are all breathing a sigh of relief to have the house back in order...There is much wisdom in having a house of order. And on that note... back to the dishes. Grrrrumble, Grrrrumble!
