AAHHH... I feel like a freight train ran over me.. I tore up the living room last evening and cleaned it.. Or most of it got done. There are 2 bookshelves and a closet and desk and a set of knick-knack shelves yet to clean. I am wondering if I am crazy, but when I look at it this morning.. I dont feel crazy, just awfully sore and tired..
I was also woke up several times during the night, by the smallest King in this house.. I am almost positive it is teething. He was running a fever for 2 days.. Now he is not sleeping well at all.. But he fights me when I try to look in his mouth. So, since I do not want to get bit, I do not try to poke my fingers in too far!
I think this week is going much better than last week.. Praise the Lord! Junior is still sick, but I think he is feeling better.. He is still weak and awfully tired. He can sleep and sleep and sleep. He went back to the dr. yesterday. This time the dr took 4 vials of his blood.. We are hoping to hear back from one of the tests today, hopefully by Friday for the others. I hope that either something shows up or it is a virus and takes care of itself..
O the joys of teaching daughters how to clean...
Dear Daughter is not a neat freak... Her room caves in and looks like a pigpen.. I can clean it up and within 12 hours it is trashed again.. Weary task..
Her father sent her in to clean it up last Friday or Sat. It was done so swiftly and it looked wonderful.. Sunday afternoon, they were invited to go biking with Uncle Levi's.. Well, she couldn't find her bike helmet.. So, Momma goes in and looks around.. Under the bed would be a good place to look..
O my my my.. Dear momma pulled and pulled.. You could not see to the other side of the bed! She had shoved and pushed everything that was on the floor, in sight, under the bed.. It is a single bed! How on earth did she manage to get it all under that bed and not a single thing sticking out?? I wish I would have taken pics! There were clothes, toys, towels, books, cd and tapes and their cases.. etc.. Everything but the bike helmet.. We still haven't found the helmet.
We went in that room yesterday morning and pulled and pulled some more. Until not a thing was under the bed. She had a near overflowing hamper.. and such a pile of books, it is no wonder the bookshelf was looking bare! And the closet and dresser..
Tell, me.. Does anyone else have this problem?? Or is it just our house??
The boys room gets to looking BAD also.. But it has 2 cleaner-uppers livng there.
The boys claim it is their sister who trashes their room..
And she claims her baby brother messes her room up! He might do that, but not carry in piles of books and tapes and cds..
Emery can be a bit of a whirlwind mess maker as well.. But, he can pick up a mess and make things neat again.. To the point of driving me crazy. He will empty dresser drawers (any drawers) and put things painstakingly away in 'neat' messy piles!!
Do I have a messy daugher? Will she out grow it?? I cannot remember being that messy, but I was not and still am not a neat freak. I can remember shovign things under my bed, but, not clothes.. I can not stand it when there are clothes on the floor.. When there is a hamper right beside them!!!
Well, now that I am done ranting and raving.. I will get to work.. CLEANING.. and folding laundry..
You all have a great day... God Bless..
