Ahead of the game
After I realized my total obsession with having a clean kitchen things have been much better. I suppose I've been busier, making sure that my sinks are always clean (meaning that not only are the sinks devoid of dirt/food/filth, but that all of the dishes are clean and put away if dry as well), but I've also been much more at peace.
Next to tackle is the constant overflow of dirty laundry. I stay pretty close to caught up, but I hate playing catch up. I like to be ahead. Problem? We cloth diaper TWO children. One newborn and one toddler (23 days, and 21months). It's an amazing feat, but our oldest is learning to use the potty (thank heavens!) and we have a good routine down for getting all of the diapers poop free, clean, dry, folded, and put away before they're all used up again within two days. Sigh.
I try my hardest to find time to come on here...but then someone wakes up, or another begins to cry, and after everyone eats there's a huge mess to clean before we can "go outside!?" as someone is protesting. Feels like I've got six children, and one arm (since I'm always holding Bug...and don't even mention a sling to me...been there, done away with the thought of choosing that to be my primary method of holding her, my pelvis says HELL NO).
But, all in all things are peachy. Hubby is still the most amazing man in the entire world (and still hasn't been called back to work...which I'm both grateful for and a bit nervous about...i hope we don't lose the house! This month is the first in forever that we have NOT paid our mortgage...*biting nails*). I'm almost done with my busy work (birth announcements, Laurie's gift for being my midwife, etc). Then it's on to the bigger things (figuring out how to get to Baltimore, finding work from home so I don't have to leave my babes or go back to the hospital *pukes* and the like).
Sorry if I haven't noted...I feel so inadequate these days with that because I'm usually only using one hand and it annoys me to type that way, lol. Miss you all dearly :) Hopefully I'll figure this all out soon, maybe I can get a routine going...find some balance.
Oh! I weighed myself the other day...was surprised to see 130 :) So that's 20lbs lost now in 23 days!!! I'm excited about that, hopefully I can get down to 110 by September, but I'm not going to do anything drastic...yet. For those of you who are wondering, I'm 5'4" and was 120 before getting pregnant with Bug, but I was 105 before getting pregnant with Amara...and I liked that weight SOOO much more. I miss my old clothes!!!
