Hi, yeah I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked, I’m sorry for that.
Life has been so unbearably consuming of my time/energy. With Lil Fella’ on Christmas break I can barely concentrate on my own thoughts. The house had been a disaster for days, but I haven’t been able to get enough un-intereupted time to do anything. It’s really the biggest source of my aggregation. I can not relax in a mess. I just can’t, yet I can’t get to cleaning it all up. Certain jobs can be done in 10 or 15 minutes, those get done, other ones take an hour, or more, and those haven’t been getting done. At least not often enough. I just need one good chuck of time, or a day, or at least something.
I was feeling good today, after work, me and Lil Fella went to visit my mom, and I was in that good productive kind of mood, the one that is perfect for housekeeping, but I wasn’t at home. Maybe I was only in that mood because I wasn’t at home. I’ve been doing as many of those other things to keep me going, reminding myself that I can do more with less, get more done in less time mostly. Also listening to reggae music seems to help. Their is one song, I don’t know the name or artist, but the chorus is “love is my religion” . I love that, I want more people to follow that religion 
Unfortunately I am the only person in my house that wants to listen to reggae music all the time.
I have been slowly working on new stuff for my etsy shop. It needs lots of love. So does my blog, and my email account, and my facebook peeps haven’t heard from me in a long time either. Sorry folks, but I’ll be back to my normal self soon I promise.
Later

My house has messy “spots”. I’ve decided to look at it that way, lately.
Messy in “spots.”
Just “spots”
Makes me feel better about the situation when I say it that way
i’m finally feeling better about my house today
Excellent
Congratulations on the adoption! Kids are fun!
I cannot relax in a mess either. When my children were small I read somewhere ~ you can either clean or spend time with your kids. I chose spending time with my kids. It stays cleaner as they get older. Keep in mind, kids grow sooooo fast.
Yeah, I have to make that choice too sometimes, I tend to split up my cleaning to give him some attention, and sometimes I just get him to clean along with me, even tho its not the most productive cleaning, I figure its teaching him some life skills for later on
You are right, life skills are good. It is still spending time with him even while you clean! What a good Dad!
