Is it really true that I haven't posted for a month? Does the calendar really say May? I am still trying to let it sink in. Last month went by in a daze. Mostly a good daze, but a daze nevertheless.
Life is filled with taking care of kids, church callings, kids' activities, running errands, Kyle's school work, and trying to stay on top of the pile of ______ (insert any word here) that somehow appeared _____ (insert any location). I used to pride myself on never finding any cobwebs, because I regularly dusted ceilings and wiped down walls, yet lately cobwebs seem to be appearing everywhere. I used to think I was pretty amazing for never having sticky kitchen chairs because I regularly wiped them down, yet now I almost daily go to move a chair and my finger sticks to it. "I'll wash it as soon as I wipe Skyler up," I tell myself. Which chair was it, again? Or, more appropriately, which chair isn't sticky? Today my couch was 2/3 covered with a pile of laundry with two overflowing laundry baskets next to it. At least it was clean laundry, I told myself! At least Kylene, Spencer, and I can all fit on one cushion to read stories together:). And I'm happy to report, it is now all folded laundry! Hopefully it can successfully be put away before one of the kids spreads it all over the floor or manages to dump it all out tomorrow morning.
I remind myself as I fall into bed trying to rub my sore back that this stage of life will go by way too quickly and I'll long for these days! It really is wonderful; just exhausting. I'll try to post some pictures of my cute kids soon!
