1/2 Done Life!

So lately I feel like everything I do is half done. It's crazy how much harder it is to get stuff done when you have a baby and a 3 year old. I start the dishes and get interrupted and have to go and feed a baby then I get sidetracked with something else. I'll start laundry and forget about getting that all done because I need to put the baby down for a nap and that takes about 1/2 an hour because heaven forbid he'll just go to sleep the first time. By the time the baby is sleeping Emma needs a snack and won't stop asking until I get one for her then she has to play with mom, which is fine because I like to play with her and would rather do that then clean. Then I try to go outside and pull the dandelions out of the lawn because there are more of them than actual grass!! Emma comes outside with me and gets mad because I'm pull out all the pretty yellow flowers. The we get most of them out I think they multiply as you pull them out too. So in between pulling weeds I'm in and out of the house because Tobin still hasn't decided to fall asleep and is crying... when I finally think he is asleep I go back outside and start the lawn mower, mow part of the lawn and have to go back in because Tobin is awake and ready to get up... Its been about 10 mins since I thought he was napping! This post is making me tired. So my laundry is only half done, my dish are half done, the weeds are a little more than half done and my lawn is half mowed.... fewwwwwwwwwwwwwwsh... what a day, oh and after ever sentence I've had to go and roll Tobin off his stomach because he can't get back on his back when he rolls and he gets really mad! That was a lot of verbal diarrhea! And on top of all this Emma is now only half dressed!

Oh gosh! I had the exact same day. I'm exhausted and yet nothing is done. Then I had a meltdown, but then my sister called and read me something from Pres Monson. It made me feel better.

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surgace, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you wil -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

Thank you for that quote... It does help especially on days like that. But he forgot to mention the puke stains on the carpet and the dirty dishes in the sink! I love having kids we just need to remember that as mom's we can't do it all and that that's ok.
