I wanted the right things in the right baskets, books lined up just right, etc, etc. Now, I'm just happy if they all make it into basket or hell even a pile at the end of the night. I wish I still cared more, but I can't find the energy.

In fact, now that the boys are almost 12 and 9, it's just new stuff to pick up and/or trip over! Actually there are days it drives me crazy and other days, I just roll with it. Go with Alicia's advice..take the help where you can and be grateful it wasn't you doing it!!!Cow Pies & Mud Pieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180099139541821928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995850097097193964.post-91582915673592504062009-02-17T14:01:00.000-06:002009-02-17T14:01:00.000-06:00I TOTALLY RELATE TO YOUR POST ABOUT TOYS!!!!! :) ...I TOTALLY RELATE TO YOUR POST ABOUT TOYS!!!!! :) I too can be a little "crazy" about how the toys need to be picked up routinely 4 to 5 times a day...and most importantly before bed time!!! I'll spend 30 minutes before they head off of bed making them pick up every little truck, toy blocks, millions of pieces of toy food from the play kitchen upstairs, etc!!!!! So girl...you are not alone!!!!! :) <BR/>p.s. I always "re-do" Jim's pick up job!!! :)Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951507115644579630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995850097097193964.post-3407701829459340812009-02-16T20:03:00.000-06:002009-02-16T20:03:00.000-06:00Oh sweetie I am OCD too the biggest challenge for ...Oh sweetie I am OCD too the biggest challenge for me after I began having Carlee help with chores was to accept and appreciate the help even though it wasnt MY way. Appreciate the help, get the little one to help your well with a consultation gift and hug your hubby tight and just say nighty niteadayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779320687009033676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995850097097193964.post-60075627118067666972009-02-16T17:46:00.000-06:002009-02-16T17:46:00.000-06:00Too funny.

I hate random things lying around and we too won't have any extra room for all of the stuff that comes along with babies/kids. We don't even have room for all of our stuff! <BR/><BR/>I think I'll probably drive myself crazy. And just like Justin, I just know that Roger won't understand my need for cleaning up all the little messes. ;)Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794832173529796416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995850097097193964.post-11000294114061742042009-02-16T16:04:00.000-06:002009-02-16T16:04:00.000-06:00This CRACKED me up!

Really, really bad! Chris would try to help but like you, I had to redo everything because it just wasn't quite right...you know, the angle of a certain toy or the books being out of order!<BR/><BR/>And then, well, then Gentry came along and we moved just eight weeks later and my life was forever changed! I can't keep up with the tornadic activity of them both, although I do try!! Funny that you posted this today because just before lunch I was cleaning up mess #453 for the day and I was thinking, "I should so do a post and call it The Best of Both Worlds." I can't seem to have a spotless house AND completely content children at the same time! It is one or the other and most of the time, the house loses!!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555854648355974767noreply@blogger.com
