my friend lindsey used the term "running up the down escalator" to describe a typical mothering day.
i laughed.
today was that day.
i have great plans of organizing my whole home this week...
sorting and purging.
40 bags in 40 days was supposed to start last wednesday...
i'm only 6 days behind.
i still think i can.
i'm still running!
and loving...
and cooking...
and cleaning...
and folding...
and hoping...
i haven't given up hope.
funny thing-- i was supposed to be showing God my gratitude by sorting and purging in preparation for Easter.
turns out, the only way i'm ever going to get my home purged and my closets sorted is with His grace.
figures doesn't it?!
time to to go tackle the girls' closet.
again.
up the down!
hah!!
(at least i'm laughing as i trip over myself!!)

yeah - my 40 bags in 40 days isn't going very well this past week. but we'll get there... maybe 20 bags in 40 days??
good luck. and yes, that is a perfect description of mothering days.
seriously - i can't ever do the robot typing thing on the first try. :)
What do you do with your little ones while you are cleaning/organizing? I'm trying to get my home organized too (I just found your blog tonight and LOVE it!). I'm just wondering what I can do with my youngest who isn't in school yet without sitting him in front of the TV the entire time I clean. He is a VERY ACTIVE kid who has a difficult time staying entertained by himself very long. Just wondering if you or anyone else have any ideas! I'll take them all! :)
