This week (post-holiday week) I had set some goals for myself to do some deep cleaning now that the masses have left (or at least gone back to school), and then afterwards I promised myself that I would allow myself some time on the computer to figure out how to do my blog (which my sweet daughter, Jewel, gave me for Christmas)!!
Well, it's Friday and my house is still needing lots of attention (to put it mildly)...but my curiosity in learning how to do my blog is winning out!
Even as I sit here, rationalizing... real life screams at me...for instance...I've been doing laundry all day. I'm so happy to see those disgusting, smelly, dirty clothes (teenage boys are REALLY stinky!!!) going into the washer...then...coming out of the dryer, sweet-smelling, bright and clean!! Folding them, putting them into the children's rooms where they will lovingly be put away into their drawers or hung up into their closets gives me a feeling of accomplishment...until...I then ask the kids to bring me their dirty clothes hampers!! And fifteen minutes later I have mountains of disgusting, smelly, dirty clothes screaming at me again!! Augh!!
So guys...this is my REAL life!!
The laundry is Done...for five minutes... YAY!!!
Five minutes later... AUGH!!!
I forgot about the bread dough rising as I was working on my blog...any one hungry?
This is how the older kids keep the younger kids entertainted...

That's what you get for having older sisters, McKay!!
