Ever have one of those days when you feel like the ONLY thing you are doing is cleaning up after the {little} people that reside under the same roof as you? (OK, I'm laughing right now because I just realized what a stupid question that was...) ANY mom with little kids, big kids, pets, etc has felt this way MANY times. We are stuck at home today...the 4-year-old has strep throat (sorry to the many whose kids played at our house last week...) On a day when we would normally be running all of the errands I forgot to take care of on Saturday...WE ARE HOME FOR THE ENTIRE DAY!! Don't get me wrong...stay at home days are great, when preplanned. The impromptu stay at home days stink.
Back to the maid thing...I've cleaned up play-doh, crayons & coloring books, dishes, pop-up tents, stuffed animals, an entire box of wipes spread throughout a two-year-old's room, tupperware, cups, plates & bowls from two cupboards, noses, bums...Not to mention the stuff that just needed to be done because... well, because they just needed to be done...laundry, vacuuming, a bathroom, wipe up sticky spots on the floor...blah, blah, blah. (This ALL took place before noon...)
I can hear some of you now (and you know who you are) "Let it go!" "Who cares as long as they're busy and having fun?" Sorry, I'm just too OCD. Yea, I know, THEY should be the ones to clean it up...again with the OCD.
So, I'm not looking for sympathy...I lied...I'm TOTALLY looking for sympathy and attention because I KNOW I'm the only mom who has EVER had a day like this...

You were right, I AM laughing at this post. you have my sympathy for sure. I am just sorry that sam is sick or else we would come down and hang out with you on your stay at home day. I already ran all 2 of my errands this morning.
I wish I could send Consuelo and the crew over or Brynn!
So sorry for the stay home day. It does however sound like you were able to accomplish alot. Many days when I stay home it seems like I get nothing done. Although Im sure something gets done. Just hope for a better day tomorrow!!!!
My gosh, your day sounds exhausting! You have my sympathy.
Thank you, sniff...sniff... I'd like a little cheese to go with my whine!
You have my sympathies...I have been at it for two weeks...the progress of my house continues to go down hill as I start to give up. At least you haven't given up yet!
