To clean or not clean. . .

That is the question!

Its Monday, the weekend is over and Sheldon in back to work (in tucson boo!!) I thought spring break is supposed to be celebrated with vacation? Oh well, we will vacation in good ol tucson for a few days. :) But today I am left with the dilemma to clean my house or not. You see I have never been great at this whole "cleaning thing" I mean I love to come home to nice clean house, but I'm not so much a fan making it a nice clean house. I am very easily distracted to something that could take only a few hours takes me a whole day!! don't even get me started on SVU marathon days! But that's a whole other story for a different day. Cleaning can be quite discouraging when you have a little tornado of a son behind you messing up everything you just picked up. So if and when I do clean my house it only last for a few minutes.

Exhibit A:

Eastons toys that I just picked up two minutes before.



But picking up is the least of my worries. Laundry is going to be the death of me!! I'm not kidding, I HATE doing laundry! I love the smell of nice clean clothes. But I hate folding and putting them away. Laundry is a never ending battle for me. I think the whole time Sheldon and I have been married I have been caught up on laundry once. Yes only once in almost 3 years. Pathetic I know. My angel of a mother always did our laundry growing up and she was amazing at it! I always had fresh clean clothes nicely folded on my bed waiting to be put away. Did I always put them away? NO. But they were clean. If I can't keep up now, what am I going to do when I have more kids and more clothes to wash? Maybe I'll make my kids do their own laundry. :) Does that make me a mean mom? A two year old can learn quickly right? Ok I wont make Easton do his own laundry. . . .YET! But until he can I guess I'll have to work on being a little better.

Exhibit B:

Probably 4 loads of clean clothes just waiting to be folded and put away. It will happen some day. But maybe that isn't today. Anyone want to go to lunch? :)
