I do so much in a day and yet at the end it looks like nothing. I have older kids that think I never clean the house and younger kids that wish I was gone more often. If I am out shopping someone needs me at home but if I am home then complaints are heard that I never go shopping. I am not complaining mind you. I love my life and my family. I just don't think anyone ever realized how much I do unless I don't do it. I know I never thought my mom did much.
Well I am posting to just say hello, I still have lots to say and many pictures to post. I miss writing out my thoughts, it always helps me to see the big picture. For now I am back to the car to move children around again, pick up a car from the shop, pick up a bike that was left somewhere . . .all while being thankful for dad preparing dinner. Oh I think I will also call my mom and tell her thank you for all she did for me while I lived in her house. I might not have seen it but now I know that she worked hard.
I love it! I feel the same way- I do a lot but my house never looks clean, we're always behind in something, and the kids always want more, more, more. Still, like you, I wouldn't change it. Life is an adventure but God is always blessing our efforts, no matter how unseen they might be. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's bad enough with 3; I can't imagine how you do it with 9!
