THANK YOU! I just love you. I’m loving Anne of Green Gables. I see so much of the girl I used to be in Anne… I can totally FEEL how hard she tries NOT to talk having put myself through the same process countless times as a kid, haha. Today is so much better. Maybe I should take days like this more often! You’re great, Jewel. Thank you.

I’m still trying to figure this one out. The obvious answer is to hire cleaning help until I figure it out… but hiring help means I need money. So that’s out, haha :)

Thank you, Janiel! Today has been much better, thank goodness. I mean, the house looks like junk but the people in it are much happier today :)

Tia is the very best person in the world to be friends with! I’m glad I’m not alone in the “growing pains” department :) It’s definitely worth it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tough. It’s tough fo’ sho!

Arg. I’m right there with you, sister. It’s so nice for us moms in the trenches to be able to communicate and be real with each other. Clean houses are nice, but sometimes it is also nice to just forget the house, forget makeup and getting dressed, and just read all day long. Especially Anne–with an E. I love this series (I have the entire series, if you’d like to borrow it sometime), and it’s the perfect positive, uplifting book to sink yourself into to forget about your now-holy piano bench and gritty piano keys….or in my case, my destroyed play set or my unusable yard.
Sigh.
And, PS–Eeyore is still loveable. So don’t feel bad about having Eeyore-y days, weeks, or even months….I know I love Eeyore.
I know you know this, but it does get better. I promise.

“My house needs cleaning in the worst way, but I’m SO TIRED of feeling like I can’t LIVE until the house is clean.”

Yay for thoughtful husbands! You will LOVE your iPad! I use mine everyday.
As far as your kids go, three kids are hard! You are officially outnumbered and don’t have enough arms to wrangle them. It’s a good thing that we are not alone (same boat here:)) and that many, MANY, other moms have survived before us. I love your stories and am grateful that im not the only one who cries on Mother’s Day. :) meh. Thank you story lady for being awesome!
