Finding Love in Laundry

The last few days, I have found myself completely overwhelmed by the chores in my home, yet I find that I am totally in love with what I am doing! With each day, I find that despite the fact I am cleaning up after Hubby and the boys I fall more and more in love with each of them every day. I was picking up one particular mess in the bathroom and rather than getting upset over it laying on the floor, I started laughing. You see, yesterday Hubby and Squirt #1 went over to the new house site and were working/playing when along came the rain. Squirt #1 then got so excited he started playing in the mud! Oh how I wish I could have seen his face. He loves the mud. It all just makes me realize more and more how much I REALLY want to just stay home and be a wife and mother, rather than entering the workforce. So, I will continue to pray that one day God will have that to be His will. Until then....

A fresh start!

Ok, so it's Monday. There is no better day to start anew than on a Monday. Lately, my life has spun quickly out of control.

The "laundry monster" has attacked and left a huge mound of laundry.
Organized...I don't think I have been really organized since the birth of Munchkin #1. Daily I feel the need for this, but for some reason my touch is gone!
Me...I feel like I have totally let myself go! While I was never a "high maintenance" kind of girl, I did do a little more than I do now, so that is something I really need to work on as well.

To top it all off, we are in the process of building a new home. Right now we are living with my Mother. So, I struggle with starting new habits and routines, especially since we aren't in our own home. I've got to start somewhere though.

Oh yeah, and there is a class reunion on the horizon! Go Me!

So today starts the new Jessica!
