I NEED A DAY OFF
I am having one of those days. I feel so sick and tired of picking up my house. There is a constant supply of laundry to do. A constant flow of dishes to be washed. The kitchen table, the counters, the floor, they get cleaned and dirtied one right after the other. It feels like I clean all day, and no dent is made. It repeats itself day after day. Point Being.....I NEED A DAY OFF! I am in desperate need to go shopping. My "newest" clothes are at least 2 years old....and those don't even fit yet. I haven't had my hair cut in a year. I need shoes. My kids need some new clothes. Seriously the list goes on. Sometimes I think I could probably brave the stores WITH all four...but if you read my last post about shoe shopping, you can get an idea of how that would be. I do take them grocery shopping with me, I have no choice. I take them, or we don't have necessary household items, including food. Today I needed to make a run to two separate banks. Of course getting out of the house is a trick in itself. It was lunch time, so I fed Lexi in one arm with the bottle in the same hand while scooping spoonfuls of mac-n-cheese into Logan's mouth in the other hand, while yelling at Mycah to feed herself (she has a problem with this). Finally kids fed (except Mycah), Lexi needed her diaper changed. I'm loading them all in the car and of course...the poop machine himself had on a poopie diaper. I unload him, change him then reload him. Meanwhile, Lexi is having a meltdown. Folks...all this for one car ride to two quick bank stops. Wowzers! Now we're back. There is housework to do and I don't want to touch it...so here I am blogging about it. Has anyone out there ever Hired a babysitter so they could take a day off? I am really almost considering it. Saturdays Alex usually has things to do, so having him do it......Won't Work.

HEY! higher a babysitter FOR REAL and lets go shopping together! :-)... I barely take Hudson shopping, and he's just one good little baby, so of course you should have someone take your kids!
ReplyDeleteYES! Do it Anna! It's necessary at least once a month (maybe not a whole day) but sooome time to keep your sanity! Do a whole day first though for sure! Have some fun and relax! I wish I was there...
ReplyDeletei hear yah about this-picking up the house so tiring. i love your blog, great pictures, i'm a follower
ReplyDeleteI've thought about getting a babysitter while I run errands. I dread grocery shopping! Dread it. I don't live very close anymore but if you have errands to run in Boise you could drop your kids off here. Or if you need to clean for a couple of hours they could stay here and play. We should start some moms group like that.
