It is the play area and it usually looks like Legos exploded everywhere. I have to have no toys downstairs and games put away after Grahm is done playing with them. And playing does NOT mean using the pieces however he wants. I can't stand it when he does that.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519044125339395069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919679237989243442.post-38196716790456522382011-07-08T22:26:10.512-06:002011-07-08T22:26:10.512-06:00My house is not quite the crazy place yours is (no...My house is not quite the crazy place yours is (not yet anyway, baby #3 is on the way), but I can so relate! I struggle with cleaning anyway, and then to be early pregnant and have no energy and taking care of my two littles is rough. Hubby is the OCD one around here, so our relationship has been a little rough with me sleeping so much lately too. Thanks for reminding me about acceptable losses, wonder if hubs would agree. I had similar thoughts yesterday when my 4 year old wanted to play with me while I was cleaning the kitchen. *sigh* <br />Anyway, all that to say, thanks for the post, and good luck in the next few months :)<br />Following from the crew...<br />http://selaandfamily.blogspot.comSelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906361861991928782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919679237989243442.post-49001178088630534312011-07-07T10:37:59.267-06:002011-07-07T10:37:59.267-06:00Visiting and following from the crew...

My husband is not in the military, but has traveled in his work for the past 34 years of our marriage. It was always difficult to go back and forth --- from him being home and then being gone with just me in charge. Things would become chaotic when he returned, then just when it was running smoothly, he would leave, then I would adjust and the kids and things would smooth out, just to keep repeating this coming and going.<br /><br />It has worked out, I have one 16 yr old home now, but my husband has been in Mexico for over half the time since Jan. I try to keep the family solidarity, prayer and Scriptures and faith instilled in my kids. It is a fulltime job and overtime too. So I gave up a career to be constantly over the home. My 5 kids, now aged 30 to 16 have come to thank me. My finances? a bit of a mess at this time. Better that than the kids.deila taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814109921379333571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919679237989243442.post-25347721095605685272011-06-22T10:54:52.826-06:002011-06-22T10:54:52.826-06:00Great post!
