(but left all of the dishes nicely stacked in the sink)
It's driving me nuts.
This is what happens when my Mr. has been gone every week for a month.
I kind of lose all sense of housecleaning control. Why is that?
I'm about to put on some beat-movin' music to get my booty in gear
maybe the kids will dance along as I clean?
J will be helping me, of course.
He made *most* of the messes, you see.
Plus he likes a good reward for good behavior (who doesn't?)
I'll start off the movin' with some happiness-inducing Thankfulness.
I'm thankful for:
-All of the awesome parks in our new city...there are 54 to be exact. Just.In.This.City.
-Sunshine + breezes...no better way to enjoy some high quality Vitamin D
-All of our hand-me-down furniture...just can't beat it, although my goal is to purchase our very own couch set by our 10th wedding anniversary :)
-Refrigerators...ever think about what would happen to all that yummy food without 'em?
-New friends (!!) , a must-have for this social Mama
-Old friends (!!)...particularly the set that we will be seeing this weekend (woo hoo!)
-The box of maternity (plus more) clothes that arrived on my doorstep yesterday (how did I get so lucky to have such thoughtful friends?)
-Our re-formatted garage (after the 2nd evening of non-stop work), organized by my handsome Mr. H
-Sunscreen (though I forgot to apply yesterday: OUCH)
-Moments of unexpected joy (like when both of your baby boys are in the bathtub just jiggly with laughter)
-Moments of calm (naptime, please!)
-Homemade cookies (my new visiting teacher brought a bag full of them for me...shhhh...I didn't tell J about them!)
-The safety & calm that I feel when I pray with my little ones
I am thankful...and now it's time to get this house in order.
Seriously.
Seriously.

I'm sure you've already heard the following quote, but it bears repeating.
