Miss Me?

Miss me yet? I miss being on here. I wish that I was writing to tell you that I was back. But unfortunately I am not. I'm writing to tell you not to give up on me because one day I will be back. I really have been accomplishing a lot. I've been steadily cleaning out closets and drawers. After everything is cleaned out, the whole room gets scrubbed. I have now completed both kids rooms, laundry room, kitchen, livingroom, and guest bathroom. I have done the dresser and night stand in our room and my closet is almost finished. I still have to finish my closet, do Nathan's closet, our bathroom, linen closet, and hall closet. (Really dreading the hall closet!) I have thrown so much JUNK away!! It's really embarrassing how much stuff we had in drawers that didn't belong. Things from years past or trash. Here's an idea of what you would have found if you looked before I cleaned it out...Nathan's underwear drawer included underwear and undershirts...along with a small hammer, two rocks, 15 tractor keys, some truck and jeep keys to old vehicles, sun glasses, some receipts, a toy of Addison's, pens, tooth picks, peppermint wrappers, and two flyers to a local business. EVERY drawer and closet we have was like this! Each one with totally random things that didn't belong and each one filled with things that needed to be thrown away!! It has felt so good to fill up trash bags and purge. After seeing what is left to keep I organize it all and that is probably my least favorite part but I keep chugging along room by room.

Part of it taking so long is the lack of time I have. While doing all of this I am trying to keep up with the every day chores like sweeping, mopping, scrubbing bathrooms, doing dishes, mounds of laundry, etc. All while having a little boy that doesn't sleep. You've caught me on a low day. Today I'm frustrated with my son and feeling sorry for myself. I can't believe I'm going through this again. I thought it was hard to have a child that didn't nap. It's even harder to have a child that doesn't nap or sleep well at night. Weston got up 5 times last night and has slept only two 30 minute naps today. I've tried everything I can think of or that people have suggested. Most days I have a great attitude because I know I can't change my circumstance but I can change the way I react to them. But some days, like today, it really gets the best of me. Doesn't he know I'm trying so hard to reclaim my house so I can have free time with my kids and for myself?? haha No, I don't suppose he doesn't. I'm just so exhausted physically and mentally today...

But keep blogging my blogger friends. I do read your blogs on my phone when I'm up in the middle of the night. Reading on my phone is the only thing helping me keep my eye lids open when I so desperately want to be asleep! :)
