My house is a mess. I feel I can never catch up. I need more time!!!! I guess I should be happy my house is full of life and busyness. One day it will be clean and empty. They grow so fast.
The laundry is never done. I clean a room and move to the next and go back minutes later and the clean room is a mess again. I should have a recycling center in my back yard, for all the paper and plastic littering each room.
God has blessed me with 3 beautiful healthy children who can mess up.
So why does it get on my nerves? Why do I sometimes feel like a slave?
I guess being a mother has it’s ups and downs. But mostly ups. I guess I will trade the clean house for laughter and love. I definitely think that’s a better trade.
Hey Jamie,
Last year for Mother’s Day I wrote a poem for Beth having to do with what you are dealing with in this post. You can read it here
, I hope you find it encouraging.
Jamie, I know exactly what your feeling. I too have a messy house no matter how hard I try. I do have in my favor the fact that we have no storage space in our house. The closets are very small so we can’t hide much in there although we try (HA!HA!) You have been reading my poetry and you can tell it is a real problem for me(not having time for everything that is). I guess its a mom thing. I really liked Jason’s poem, it’s nice that he notices and understands how Beth may feel. Not so sure Kevin really understands when it comes to what he feels is the little stuff but I love him anyway. I guess when it comes right down to it, it really is the little stuff. I wouldn’t change the love and life that goes on in our household.
thanks guys. that poem is great. I remember reading it last year on mothers day. it makes me feel alittle better that when our neighbors pop in for a surprise visit they understand the mess even though i have never seen beths home a mess. michelle, i have a small house with no storage either. so there is my excuse. i am gonna just start throwing stuff away when we get back from the beach.
