A Clean Home
Posted on Monday, May 18th, 2009 at 7:37 pmIt’s been bothering me and I know it’s been bothering Taylor. In the last month, my house has not stayed clean for long. I was talking to Katie on our walk on Thursday morning, complaining about how I just can’t get it clean. I’m always trying to play a game or change a diaper or feed one or both kids or ignore the screaming, that I don’t have time to clean. So when I saw Katie on Friday morning, she gave me two choices. Option one: I leave for an hour while Katie comes over and cleans. Option two: I hand my kids off to Katie while I clean. I chose option two. She took London for the morning and I got my house cleaner than it’s been in a month. I’m determined to keep it that way. It feels so good to have a clean house. London left for the weekend so it’s been pretty easy to keep clean until today. I can see that this will be a challenge but I think I’m up for it. I’m so glad I have such good friends around me who help me through hard times.
What an awesome friend!!!
That first year is really hard. I felt like I’d have spurts of cleaning, but not frequently enough or thorough enough to last as long as I needed.
It gets better. Have I said that before? I mean it. It really does get better. If you were closer I’d love to take sweet London so you could clean!
Cleaning, shmleaning. Yes, it does feel good to have a clean house. But I’m pretty much giving up on it until baby is 6 weeks old. And then I don’t really have any excuses.
