Got home after my three-hour annual Music Aiders meeting tonight, where my intention was to resign as secretary; I won't say much about how that went, except to tell you that I have pages and pages of notes to process and type into official minutes to send out to the rest of the board. The kids all ate dinner and put themselves to bed. That was pretty sweet. And the dishes were even mostly loaded into the dishwasher. The big stuck-on greasy pans and stuff? No worries. That'll all still be waiting when we wake up.
It's now mid-week: the hard reality of my prolific piles stares right back at me.
So I'm turning in. School papers, RS notes, Music Aider meeting minutes, ice cream social assignments, bills to pay, information to file can all wait. Just keeping the worries small. And the blog real.
And putting any unfounded thoughts that I keep a house clear of clutter and dust bunnies right to bed.
I do wonder how the laundry seems to procreate right there on the floor...
And how we seem to have a hard time maintaining enough of a food supply for just us, but we have legos for the entire neighborhood.
You're welcome at my house ANYTIME. Just don't look in my cupboards. And know that I might lose you in the mess.

Jenny, we'd feel right at home at your house because it would be just like ours! I could take almost the exact same pictures! Glad to know I'm not alone. Here's a quote I just put on our blog:
“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ~~Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's so fun to keep up with your family on your blog! Love, Heidi
Glad you are keepin it real!
whatever blew through your house hit mine too...
I think it's called LIFE IN THE FAST LANE!
or is it just called LIFE?!
either way, it's beautiful :)
Way to keep it real.
Thanks, Jenny--I love it! Your life looks full and wonderful. And my piles would get along great with your piles. :)
oh I love you jenny! and hey those legos could come in handy in a time of world crisis - thsi is why mine number in the millions!
We keep a 1 hour notice rule before any visits. this gives us time for the 90MPH stuff and fluff. Thanks for keeping it real.
Funny about the secretary thing. Why is it so hard to get out of things? Good to know your children are well engaged and involved in good projects! An old teacher friend used to tell me they would worry if they didn't see any toys out- then there is a problem. Good to see reality!
Glad that I'm not alone. My house looks the same. Thanks to you I have been inspired to clean my house, finally.
