Well, seven months after giving birth to our fantastically wonderful babe, I’m finally feeling up to being a better homemaker again. Boy, did I ever slack off for the past seven months. Poor Dave has been digging clothes out of baskets most of the time as I haven’t taken the time to fold or hang clean clothes up. Meals are lackluster. No baking to speak of. The dust has bred more dust. But I can honestly say that I have totally and completely enjoyed John’s first seven months. He’s getting bigger now though and we’re getting to a point where John will shortly be crawling and I really don’t want the poor kid crawling through dust bunnies because I haven’t swept.
So because spring is in the air, I’m feeling like spring cleaning and getting my household back into shape. And Dave will probably rejoice in not having to dig wrinkled dress shirts out of baskets of clean clothes again. And I’m sure he’ll like a homemade freshly baked cookie again too.
Time is the difficulty though. This week I’m working on getting John is nap longer by himself so that will help. And I’ve got a young lady coming over on Thursdays after school to babysit John in the living room while I tend too a deep cleaning project. So my spring cleaning goals will probably take me until the end of April, but I’m focused on getting this home back into order!
