I stayed home with Sophia again yesterday. I attacked the disorder downstairs. I now have a clean, organized house again. Plus, my little one and I got some much needed snuggling and playing time.
I forgot how stressed and overwhelmed I feel when my house is in chaos. It took a few days to put it back in order but now I feel able to relax a bit.

After the kids got home and finished their homework, we played for a while. I even enjoyed cooking again last night (stromboli - It's one of Steve's favorites!) Because I was able to give the kids the attentention they needed, they played by themselves later in the evening and weren't so needy. So Steve and I turned on some music and sang along together. Sounds weird, I know. But it was so fun.

If you come to my house, you'll almost always hear the Christian radio station because it's the one I like to listen to and the words that I'd like instilled in my children's hearts.But catch me on a relaxing night with my hubby and you'll find that I have a really eclectic taste in music. Oddly enough, so does Steve. Last night found us sitting by ourselves singing along to everything.......from Casting Crowns, to Poison, to Sawyer Brown, to Simon & Garfunkel, to Billy Joel, to Elvis, to Journey......and everything in between. You get the idea :)

I usually feel like there's so much that needs to be done that I don't take the time to just sit and relax. I need to do it more often. Even when I'm sitting, I'm thinking about all the things I should be doing.

Maybe it's time to make a few changes again.
