This is the story of my life! I have 3 toddlers! This is nothing! Eeks
So last week I got
this email saying I had been nominated to be the Messy Mom of the Week! My
first thought was, What tha ...!? But then as I looked around at the mess I gladly accepted!
Having 3 toddlers,
Messy is pretty much an understatement!
I was just having a conversation with a
good friend the other day about organizing, cleaning etc. Last Sunday I spent 7 hours deep cleaning my
house, from top to bottom. My hubs had
been at drill all weekend and I thought it would be nice for him to come home
to a clean house for once! As the kids
took their afternoon naps I cleaned up the main rooms of the house again so he
could come home and be amazed and then life happened… He got off later than expected
and exactly 7 minutes after my 3 lil toddler tornadoes woke up the house looked
like a disaster zone again! I cried and said forget it! He came home to the same disaster as he does
every other day.
The saying that
cleaning while your kids awake is like brushing your teeth while eating oreos or
trying to shovel during a blizzard is so true! I used to think having 3 under 3 was crazy, ya know back when I had a 2 year old, a 1 year old and a new born.. then my youngest started walking and now 3 toddlers is non stop fun! They climb on everything, they always spill goldfish, cheeseits and cheerios all over my floor! They throw food, they eat in the living room, they throw their toys every where, they have been known to take off diapers and hide poop nuggets around my house, they pee on the floor from time to time, they spill things constantly... they are complete beasts some times but they are also a ton of FUN! They are sweet, loving, polite and the best things in our lives!
Life is messy! Life is crazy but life is also beautiful and I wouldn't trade our mess for anything in the world!
