Children: Two girls, Alenya is two and a half and Kaitlyn is a newborn.
Default I got to get my priorities straight!


So today during naptime... I decided I would play on the computer aside from cleaning the house like I normally do, or doing the dishes. So here is my infant, in my lap, nursing happily and I didn't get anything done!

Bad priorities today! Anyone else ever get too into something and just "forgot" about all the work that has to be done to keep a house a home?

Of course! LOL! I spent a lot of time NAK (nursing at keyboard) when my kids were little. Don't ever consider that wasted time. There will always be housework, but there won't always be little feet running around.



EXCUSE THIS HOUSE

Some people try to hide the fact
That children shelter there.
Ours boasts of it quite openly.
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges on the doors;
I should apologize I guess
For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with the children
And we played and laughed and read.
And if the doorbell doesn't shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I'm forced to choose
The one job or the other,
I want to be a housewife--
But first I'll be a Mother.

~Author Unknown

I have another one like somewhere. I'll have to see if I can find it.

I did yesterday. It was rainy and I just didn't feel like doing much of anything. I paid for it later on in the evening, when I was busting butt trying to get things situated, but it was so worth it to kick back and read for a little bit.
