Its March, as I sit here and type there is a little boy playing his new favorite love, a Nintendo. Abby is weeping on a timeout, because I informed her that her time playing Nintendo has ended and unfortunately the reaction wasn't good. Clara is sitting in front our our washing machine saying "weeeeee" as she watches the dress she wore to church yesterday go round, and round, and round.
This is my life at this moment.
I think I am a routine person, I like to think I am organized, and I like to think I have this house under control.
My day consists of specific things I do, with many little things that pop up to do all day.
I like to decorate, and find a better way to make things work for me in this house.
I find myself rearranging furniture WAY to regularly! But for some reason the house feels cleaner if I've moved a few things around. :-) I have had my livingroom in 2 different rooms of my house, and have had my furniture rearranged at least 10 or 20 different ways, probably more. I move curtains all over my house until I find the "right" spot for them, I reorganize cupboards to the point of annoyance for my husband, who can never find anything, because its never in the same spot twice.
Wow, reading back makes me believe I must have to much free time, or maybe I'm just not using the time I have very wisely.
Anyways...
we will continue.
The chore I dislike the most is emptying the dishwasher. Its getting better, but I have for many years washed by hand just to avoid emptying the clean dishes out of the dishwasher.
I know, its weird.
If I could ask Rick to take over one thing I do everyday, that would be it.
I have a lot more I will write, but for now I'm done:-)
Enjoy your everyday life, enjoy your time with your little children as I'm really seeing how fast time really does fly. Put down your broom, stop cleaning, and read your little one that follows your around all day a book or two. I'm sure we all won't regret spending more time with our children, and less time re cleaning all the stuff that we just cleaned yesterday:-)
Everyday is a gift from God, filled with blessings.
As Clara climbs all over me, hinting at me to get my bum off this chair, and spend some time with her.... away I go:-)

When we moved here, I put all our plates/bowls/cups in a low cupboard so that the little ones can set the table and empty the dishwasher without climbing onto the counter. It has been a great success! Since you like rearranging your stuff, you might like to try it.
I love this post, Megan! Thanks for sharing some of your everyday life with us :0)
Megan, It's sweet to keep up with your family via your blog. It feels like I can kinda visit with you once and a while. I'm glad you've got the right perspectives in life, enjoy those little ones because they ain't little for long and time quality time spent with them now will reap its rewards. I love what you've done to your home, handy people. Love aunt Diane
