Half Done

I live in a constant state of half done. It feels as though everything I attempt is only partially accomplished. Dishes: dishwasher emptied, not reloaded. Emails: read, not responded to. Bills: opened, not paid. Laundry: washed, not put away. Floors: swept, not mopped. Carpets: living room vacuumed, bedrooms not. Me: showered, not made up. Beds: stripped, not remade. Decor: shelf hung, nothing on it. Scriptures: halfway through the chapter. Even my lunch: half eaten before I have to stop and do something else. Interesting that while everything is only half done, the three adorable little reasons that prevent me from completing tasks are the precise reason(s) I feel complete.

I am glad someone else feels that way too! It is amazing how much busier you get with each child. It is so fun, but makes you feel crazy sometimes. Isaac is so cute and has so much hair! I love your pictures! I love your grandpa's benches around the firepit...such a good idea. You guys are always invited to come camping with us anytime! Stacey

Isn't life crazy! I'm always looking around at what I didn't accommplish during the day because of my little ones. But those things can be finished later. Time gets away from us and before we know it those little ones will be all grown up. I think that you are right on track with what you said! Beds can be made tomorrow but we can't turn back time on our children growing up and learning.

So glad that this happens at your house to. It is comforting to know that everyone has the same problem but the reasons why make it bearable because they will soon be gone our halfs will be complete but our house will be empty. Thanks for making my day with your post. I really admire you and have every since I met you. Thanks Again,
Lisa
