When We Stay Home...

Dejah's Favorites
*All bedding is removed from beds to jump and play in.
*Couch pillows find their way onto the floor and seem to always make it there no matter how many times Mom puts them back.
*All clothing drawers are opened, partly emptied onto floor, and outfit changes every hour become strewn across other parts of the house throughout the day.
*Fridge is opened. Food is pulled out, and eating what you want whenever you want because Mom is neglectful to feed full meals.
*Toilet is rarely flushed


Mycah's Favorites
*Utensils in Kitchen get pulled out of drawers
*Toilet scrubber is carried around the house like its some fun toy to play with.
*Mom's makeup gets pulled out, foundation opened, and smeared
*Daddy's glasses can't seem to keep a hiding place
*Toothpaste and toothbrushes get used and left on the floor
*DVD case gets opened and emptied
*Naps are becoming less, because Mycah has overcome the "fear" of climbing off the top bunk bed.
*Wipies get emptied and used on baby dolls or whatever (she loves to rub them all over her face)
*Mom's purse and wallet...emptied


Together
*Toy room is relocated to the living room and my bedroom
*My dishes....become toy dishes
*Baby Doll clothes are never on babies, always on the floor
*Dad and Mom's shoes become dress-up shoes
*Dress up clothes pulled out...never put back
*Baby's car seat becomes a toy
*If there is a laundry basket not folded up yet...the clean clothing gets dumped onto the floor so the basket can become a "boat".
*If its a nice day outside....toys get dragged out to the backyard and left all over the ground.
*Any dirt outside becomes a personal sand box

There is so much more, but you know what? I love my kids. I know I could do so much more to prevent all this, pregnancy is just so wearing. I have no desire (or energy) to follow behind my kids every step of the way just to maintain a clean and orderly home. At this point I just pick a couple times a day to recruit their help in cleaning up. They don't do a great job, but at least I can get them to help. They are healthy and happy, and I am so grateful for that.
On Monday, I will have FOUR weeks until the Dr. will induce me....so if I go early I'm looking at a few more weeks to go! YAY!!
