Have you ever felt like you can't keep your house clean for more than 5 minutes?
That was today. Well, it's every day, but today it annoyed me.
I cooked a lot yesterday and today so i tried really hard to stay on top of the dishes. I also swear i swept twice and basically followed Jackson around, picking up after him. And yet, when he finally went to bed, i came downstairs and my house was a mess.
I told my husband i didn't want to talk for a few minutes (i wasn't mad at him, just didn't have the energy) and i just laid on the couch for 5 minutes. Then took a few breaths and spent 15 minutes cleaning up. 15 minutes is not a long time, but when you do that several times a day, it becomes a little monotonous.
I genuinely love my life as a stay at home mom. I let my child make messes. I get messy with him. I'm proud of the stains on my clothes from his sticky hands. And sometimes i find housework therapeutic (vacuuming, wiping counters down, folding clothes) but today, i wanted a maid.
On a much more important note, Jackson walked across the room several times tonight! :) yay!
