i love it

The house is a disaster but really, i don't care. I don't have the time or energy to clean it. Instead my day consist of chasing around a toddler who just learned to walk two months ago and is almost running. (boy am I in trouble), trying to keep him away from anything and everything he is not supposed to get into because for some reason he is attracted to the "no no" things in life. I also find that in a day I become a broken record "no no Noah" "Noah no no", "Noah be gentle", "Noah you need to share", "Noah don't do that", "Noah can we find something else to do?" Oh and these are only some of the many many statements I find myself saying over and over again on a daily basis. In between running around after Noah I am trying to keep Micah entertained by talking to him, moving him from toy to toy, attempting to teach him to roll (why won't my six month old roll???), oh and I also change wet and poopy diapers....all day long! Some may question why my house is a mess...well just come over and hang out for a day and you will begin to understand my life...but you know what...I LOVE IT!! I love my life, my kids, my husband, my family, and yes even my annoying dog. We may have some stressful things going on (you know Micah and his cancer and all), but I wouldn't trade my life for anything...

Melinda - we lead VERY VERY similiar lives. Know that this post blessed me immensely. I have no time to clean up. And I swear MAtthew thinks his name is "No!" Awesome. I never thought I would be okay with feeling no control of my life and surroundings, and yet I think that is half of what being a mother is about!
