A Girl Can Dream

Some days are better than others. Okay, make that some weeks are better than others. I don’t know what my problem is, but having been away from home for four days last week has really put me in a tail spin. I’m usually a very organized person, with schedules and lists and always one step ahead of things. But not this week. This week I’m scrambling to find things, missing deadlines, drowning in housework and trying to get my act together just enough so that I remember to feed my kids. Not a very lofty goal, I know, but that is the ONLY thing that I can’t forgo in a day. Meanwhile, the piles are getting higher, the toys are getting more spread out (think hundreds of Legos everywhere), the laundry is clean but hasn’t found the closets yet and the dust bunnies are, well, multiplying like rabbits. If you’ve ever tried cleaning a house with four little kids you quickly realize that it’s pretty much the equivalent of banging your head against the wall and you are really lucky to have one clean room at any given time. I WOULD say I need a vacation, but the thought of being away for another few days and falling behind on everything (even further) is just so overwhelming. Rather than dreaming of vacationing on some remote tropical island, I would honestly rather spend my day catching up on laundry and cleaning and only DREAM of being uninterrupted…or better yet, having a HOUSEKEEPER! Ahhh, doesn’t that sound nice? Well, a girl can dream, can’t she?
