Get Back on the Horse

So it's about time to "get back on the horse", so to speak with this whole blog thing.  Over the past several months there have been numerous changes in our house, and I've often thought, I should blog that, but it never happened.  Now that our baby is practically 6 months and taking some longer naps, perhaps some of what's in my head will make it to a post!

I've recently been struggling with CHAOS!  Everyone's version of chaos is different.  Mine is usually centered around disorganization, too many sounds or distractions, or a life situation that feels completely out of my control.  Here's one example:

I know, in retrospect this seems like a small mess, but to my ridiculous brain this is overwhelming and chaotic.  So until it's 'cleaned' up I become stressed, cranky, and task focused.  Little messes often keep me from doing great things like getting down on the floor to play with my kids and make a bigger mess, or taking them to a different room to work on another project.  It's one of those areas that's a work in progress.

So for now I do a 15 minute power-clean, restore my sanity, and move on.  I kind of hope I don't ever get used to a messy house, but it would be nice to be able to enjoy in the midst of the chaos!

"The Lord gives strength to his people;
    the Lord blesses his people with peace."
