you just have to laugh ...

Due to the fact that I had to throw both kids in the bath for the SECOND time this morning (Jane stepped in fresh doggy doo, and while cleaning that up, I found Asher in a separate mess) I decided I needed to do what I'd meant to do for months:  Yoga.  I should have known what would happen.

What I was attempting:


What I actually got:




Everyday I try to plan out what I want to accomplish, only to have it fall pitifully short.  So I set my sights a little lower...and lower...and lower.  There are days when I think to myself, "I want to get the kitchen cleaned, do a load of laundry, make some art with Jane, and tidy up the family room.  But if I just get the family room tidy, that will be good enough!"  Then, at the end of the day, I look around and realize not only is the family room nowhere close to tidy, but parts of the house that were clean are now a total disaster.

Sigh.  Sigh.  DOUBLE SIGH.  But I wouldn't change it for anything.  I love my kids and their crazy antics.  I love them during the messes and the whining.  And I especially love them when they show their sweet, sensitive selves to me.  Yoga, cleaning, and sanity can wait.

  2. I haven't checked any blogs (including my own) in so long! Great to see some updates on your family. Jane and Asher are so adorable! I can't believe how big Asher is... Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on my blog one of these days....
