Slacking..

We have been really REALLY busy lately, which is why blog posts are few and far between.

What's been keeping me so busy?  This.

Kingston's idea of helping...

Oh and the folding and putting away of this laundry, dishes, tidying, dusting, grocerys & cooking, etc.  You know -- all the typical stuff moms do on a daily basis.  What's been making it difficult is my lack of motivation seeing as our sleep is not quite the same as it used to be.  Kingston got two molars in over the last couple of weeks, and Charlotte is being a diva going through a growth spurt.  I can't remember the last full nights sleep we got.  And not because they get up and want to party all night.. they just cry or whine and then drift back to sleep.. but not before waking the other one.  Sigh.  Normalcy will return.. just takes some patience.

Michael is working so hard right now and has been spending mucho time in the office.  Therefore, I do what I can but our house is a disaster.  If your on my FB you know I've gone to bed around 7pm every night this week.  Yep I'm lame, but atleast I'm sane.  

I always think its funny when people say 'laundry/dishes can wait' enjoy your kids -- while I don't begrudge those who say it... it totally irks me.  If it doesn't get done right away -- I'm thinking about it.  So I may physically be playing on the floor with Kingston, but I'm secretly thinking, 'damn, I really need to get that laundry put away, or pull dinner out of the freezer...' Michael told me 'not to worry about it' a lot right after Charlotte was born.. but if I don't worry about it, who will?  I always ask if little faeries or elves will come do my chores for me, if I don't do them?  How long can you REALLY let the laundry go before you run out of undies?  By pushing those chores back I'm really just creating more work for myself.  Granted, I understand if its something like cleaning the bathtub or organizing a cupboard... but without dishes there are no meals.  With crumbs/last nights dinner on the floor -- there is a hungry toddler waiting to eat it up!  Without groceries there are no diapers/food/toiletries/supplies/etc.  Without clean laundry there is no.. anything? You get my point. 

So with that -- I'm off to fold the 7 loads of laundry that are sprawled around my bedroom floor before the diva herself wakes in about a half hour.  Kingston will be up next a half hour after that.  And then I'm sure he'll 'help' me fold whatever is still laying around.  Or of course 'refold' whatever I haven't managed to put away before he joins me.
