Bless this Mess

Kitchen, I admit defeat. I was a fool to think I could ever win against you. I tried, and continue to try, but no matter what I do you stay one step ahead of me. When I wash dishes and clear away the counters, I begin to feel smug. I think perhaps I have achieved something. But within minutes, everything is a disastrous mess again. I realize now that I am no match for the countless dishes, crumbs, splatters, canisters of baby cereal, and piles of junk that somehow wind their way onto the counters no matter how hard I try to clean them away. All I ask is that you show me some mercy and not completely annihilate me. Please?

My sentiments exactly to my never ending pile of laundry!

I am so with you!! Amberly too!

I have recently printed off a list I found listing exactly what clothes someone needs. I went through everyone's closet and we kept only what the list said we needed and donated the rest! I was so, so, so tired of doing laundry.

One good thing here is that Brianna, Tori and Emaleigh are old enough to have kitchen duty! I just tell them they are practicing how to be a mom/wife/woman for the future :) Am I good or what!!

ENJOY it! Just relax and don't worry about it. Soon enough, those babies will be out of the house and everything will be super tidy.

I totally feel overwhelmed by the kitchen all the time as well. Now add a clogged sink like I have today and I wish I had my old struggle with the kitchen! :)
