Should I Be Doing Something?

This is the question I keep asking myself today... Should I be doing something?

The summer and even the last few months have been so busy.  I spent many days feeling like I was drowning, but seeing the joy and excitement on my kids faces kept me going.  The life of a stay at home mom is more insane than I ever imagined it to be.  I spend my days driving kids to and from school, soccer, dance, art classes, and anywhere else they need to be.  Then, there is the housework. My house has been a pig sty for the last several months.  Thank goodness my husband is so understanding and helpful.  He's jumped in, helping with more loads of laundry and dishes than I'd care to admit.

This last week though, I've been up on the housework.  I've had time in my day to get things done and I don't really know where it came from.  All week my house has looked quite clean, lived in, but clean. This morning, after dropping the kids off at school, I came home, folded a load of laundry swept, vacuumed, fed the little girls, and did the dishes.  I've been ordering my groceries online and they were delivered at about 9:30 this morning.  I had all of my housework done and the groceries put away by 9:45 today.  I've been watching Ben and Holly with the girls, playing with barbies with Rylie, editing my video from last week, and getting lots of snuggles.

It all feels so weird, like I should be doing something.  During Scotland's rest time and Rylie's rest time, I sat down and watched last night Grey's Anatomy.  Through the entire episode I kept checking the time.  I was sure I needed to be at the school picking up Ben and Sydney.  It's bizarre that I even have enough time to sit and watch a whole show.

In about 10 minutes I have to go pick up Ben and Sydney from school.  Provided the playground isn't too wet, I'll let the kids play for a little bit, at least until Boys and Girls Club comes out. Then we'll come home, and once again, we have nothing to do, but cook dinner and watch a movie as a family tonight.

I'm hoping for more wonderful days like today in my near future. Now, I'm off to change Scotland and then pick up Ben and Syd.  Tonight, Hocus Pocus and Chicken Enchilada Casserole.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
