I have yet to make a schedule or to-do list that has been manageable

Part of my problem is that I want to do almost everything. You have a neat idea-count me in. Our church is housing some kids who are coming to a local university to participate in "abortion education." What exactly that will entail this year-I am not sure of. I AM AGAINST ABORTION-lots of people hurting from that business. Those who have had an abortion are not feeling hate from me on here. I just hate abortion. Tears people apart-literally, physically and emotionally. (don't like that -don't read this blog) Since I am so against abortion,I want to do what I can to help-so housing some of these people, feeding them a few meals and sending them off with bag lunches in the mornings did not sound like a big deal. Pffffftttt. Enter real life. Looking around my house, I decided to make a list of things I would like to get done. Well, that list was way to long to play around with. The list that is going on right now is, "What must get done to allow company that I don't know at all walk through my house." You know what I am talking about. The bleach smell in the bathroom that is barely covered up by the new plug in.  Spraying some furniture polish around the house so that it smells like you just dusted (cuz seriously I have pinned like 18 gazillion household cleaning tips and weekly checklists on Pinterest-just none of them acutally dust for me) I want to get the rooms that people will be in spotless.  The other rooms can wait ..........maybe til next  year month. Just want to seem like "really" clean people. HAHAHAHA!! My real hope is that the chicks that are in a tote covered with a baby gate so the dog doesn't get to them, will be out of the living room by next week. The smell of little chicken feces will be hard to cover up even with all the furniture polish and plug ins. I can't just put the little suckers outside yet or they will die in the cold. Anywhoooo. I better get right on the bathroom cleaning, I only have like 5 days left before my company gets here. Toodles:)

Excuse the lack of proper punctuation....

Since starting my blog (all 2 posts), it seemed as though suddenly everyone had a blog-so I decided to jump right off that bandwagon.  Yup, I am just like that. Lately though, I have been wondering if some of the joys and trials that I face, might help another mom along in her crazy journey through life. Soooo...............here is just another blog from a tired mom who has enough dishes in her sink that they really should have their own zip code.
  Tonight, I was DISCOURAGED! Maybe you never hit that spot, but I was feeling it hard core. The house is constantly messy, the kids and Lee constantly want breakfast, lunch and dinner.   (People-my family eats like it is their job.)  The cleanup after all that business never really gets completely done.....and the list goes on and on and on and on and on, and I forgot what I was complaining talking about. No matter how much I try to just stay afloat, because honestly who can get ahead of housework, I just fall farther and farther behind. I do believe all that business of this is a time of making memories. I believe it is likely that my children will not remember if my house was spotless. Though it is a distinct possibility that they will remember that they had to crawl over a mountain of winter clothes that were not yet put into totes-just to get to bed. They may not remember the time you spent gluing those stinkin' macaroni's to the letter C on that piece of colored paper (that you threw away as soon as they went to bed even tho the glue was still wet)-but they will realize that they were important and loved.
 In the middle of all this "I am so sick of this, this, everything attitude," I sat on the couch. I pretty much was ready to throw in the towel (at least until whoever woke up next needed their hiney wiped) I sat down with my computer and was ready to type in crazy mom and see what popped, but something was already there. A book on my kindle about weary moms. WHAP!!! WHAP!!!!  "Wake up, Karissa-I answered even before you asked." This short book on Amazon was written by some other moms who are weary. I read that little book and tears dripped down my face. For real. It was like some other lady out there READ MY HEART AND MIND. The verses of encouragement...oh. my. honey.   Just gave me the strength to keep on going. So I am going to go do some dishes and put the chili away that is the crockpot. (I think that if someone is smart enough to come up with a smartphone, then they should come up with a crockpot that has a "cold" setting, so that I don't have to find a big enough container to fit the extra food, and THEN finding fridge space.......just sayin') Night people:)
