The things i do?

Sometimes my routine can get ahead of me. As in any household, chores must be done. It is a must or its disgust lol... yeah i know ;) The three loves of my life are all men, and well as men go they really are not that bad. They are just forgetful boys that don't have the same desire to cleanse as i do. My other love is my dog ( The Diz) who on the bright side is probably cleaner than the boys. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good cleaning every now and then but the day to day can get a bit tedious.
Laundry for instance. I fold my laundry on my bed. Where else could you sit and fold 14 loads of clothes comfortably, and organized? But i do this thing, I fold it through out the day making a city of laundry buildings that reach toward the sky, transforming my bed into a folded city of sorts. If you have been to my home you have probably witnessed this. Now I don't like it, but it has to be done. It's just how I'm programed i guess. So i put all this time into organizing it perfectly, then come bed time i carefully take my nicely stacked piles and move them to the floor, just to be picked up the following morning for the cycle to start all over again. Rinse, repeat!
This is my life. Sometimes i feel like I'm stuck in the movie ground hog day, where i just keep living the same day over and over again. Folding the same shirts everyday, hanging the same towels, washing those same dishes. Who am i kidding? I don't wash dishes :) Haha But as i was saying, running a household can get old. I find myself asking myself WHY? Why do i spend these hours cleaning and organizing? Is it for me? Partially yes. I love having a clean house, but i think it's for them as well. I grew up in a clean home, Ok a really clean home. My mom woke up before everyone in the house and would dust and vacuum. So we would just awake to it like magic! Now I am defiantly not my mom. I am a more slack version I'd say, clean but not obsessive... anymore.
I have convinced myself that i am setting a good example. That they will grow into cleanly young men that won't disgust their future wives. Or at least will be appreciative of some good solid cleaning. My hubby loves a clean home too. That is why we try to have one cleaning day a weekend, just so come Monday my spirit isn't crushed when i wake up to the messes that the weekend brings. They say cleanliness is next to godliness. I don't know about how godly i feel but my house and yard are clean and it makes me happy. Spring cleaning is the best.

World stopping weekends

This last weekend was amazing. It was the kind that you don't want to end, the kind I want to share with all of you. Last year on this very day I was feeling very angry. I can tell you that i was angry due to countless books on using your words and teaching kids to express their feelings correctly. So I voice my feelings when i feel them. It helps me not to over react to things. So back to my point. Why was I angry you ask? Well last year my hubby dropped the ball... he forgot mothers day. Dun dun dun! I woke up to boys fighting in the living room, no coffee left in the house, and not even a mention when i talked to him on the phone. So as you can imagine i was pretty upset and me being me i voiced it, loud and clear for quite a while.
This year was a whole different story. It was great. It was a weekend long event. I got handmade artworks from both of my boys, they are just precious are always a favorite with me. Deane was so sweet, cleaning the house and making sure that mothers day was a very a big deal. Ohh and i can't forget, they bought me a bicycle. "I want to ride my bicycle... i want to ride my bikeee!" ~Queen. Anyway its a red and white mongoose mountain bike. I just love it. I forgot how good riding a bike feels. The wind in your face and freedom you feel its just amazing. It was a great gift, and i am so proud of my hubby. He did good ;) Now fathers day is right around the corner, but i'm not worried. I got a really good idea to rip off. hehe Happy spring bike rides!
