Constant Struggles

Lately it seems that I am completely incapable of doing anything. My house is always a wreck and this lazy slob has no desire to clean. I want a nice, tidy, organized, clean house but can't get to the point where housework is a priority. The children don't care how their bedrooms and bathrooms look so why should I. Thankfully I don't sleep or bathe upstairs cause it is perfectly disgusting up there. I try to keep mine and T's space semi clean but even that has fallen to the side. When I do get things straight it takes my family about 30 seconds to destroy all of my hard work. Then I am in a fury for days. I do love to cook and try to make healthy meals every night but some times when we get home from school and work all we can manage is a hot dog or something equally as gross. My body is also a wreck. I need a haircut like crazy. I look like a crazy frizzy gray headed witch. I am as fat as I have ever been but can't make myself get any exercise. Life is just overwhelming sometimes. I have so many blessings and reasons to be thankful that I feel guilty being such a downer but I am in one of those moods lately.



Josh's art work for the week



My precious boy was doing his homework the other night and grumping as usual when he blurted out, "I wish we could eliminate homework." Is that not hysterical?
