Disaster, Not so typical until recently....

Um yes. The picture speak for itself. My life as a disaster. I am usually quite fond of a clean, organized homestead. My house has not been perfect since having my little fellows, but it's been enjoyable to be in. Recently, it's just awful!

I had a cleaning schedule that I was pretty good at sticking with. I knew what we were having for dinner by 11am. I could get laundry done in one or two days. I NEVER took naps unless I was deathly ill. I was pretty organized. Not so much now.

I have been so stinking tired. I mean, EXAUSTED! I know this comes with pregnancy, but man, does my house have to suffer as much as I am suffering? I guess it has, but today that changed!

I woke up with more energy than I ever remember having! I'm only 13 weeks along in my pregnancy, but it is still hard to remember what having an ounce of energy feels like. My boys woke me up about 8 this morning, and usually I just go straight from my bed to the couch. I lay there and cuddle or talk with them for awhile, then I get up and make them breakfast when they tell me they are hungry.

Today, I got out of bed, made the boys breakfast, started some chicken for dinner (we're having chicken tortilla soup), made myself breakfast, played with play doh, and not once did I take a snooze on the couch! This is a first since about 9 weeks ago!

Once the boys informed me they were ready for lunch, I walked into the kitchen and could not even believe that I was living in this mess. I made the boys their lunch, took a few pictures to document this horrid event, and began cleaning.

I spent the next hour and a half cleaning. I can't tell you the last time I had the energy to do something more than sit at my computer and work for more than and hour and a half! Thank you, Jesus, for some energy! I feel like a new woman!

Just to end on a good mental picture. Here is what my lovely kitchen looks like now. AAAHHH, now I can breathe!
