retirement

I AM DONE!!! I am officially resuming my much-desired status of stay-at-home momma and I'm fairly certain that it isn't coming a moment too soon for both Keith and I. We've had a nasty cold floating around our house for the past two weeks that required both Keith and I to take a day off each to mend sick kids (and sick parents). Neither of us have jobs that make it very easy to be gone for even a day. Now that I'm home, this situation won't even be a consideration in the future. I'm the lucky duck that gets to manage whatever yuckiness that comes our way, but I'm really okay with that. I feel it's part of my job as their mom to help make them feel better.

Another chore that fell by the wayside other than my less than stellar blogging skills was cleaning. My house hasn't had a quality cleaning in six weeks and it is disgusting. I spent the morning sweeping (which Luke promptly spread back out before I could it in the dustpan), dusting, straightening, doing dishes, and scrubbing the kitchen. I still have a lot left to do, but I feel like I've gotten something accomplished.

With all of the end-of-the-school-year junk that I've had to do the past two weeks, in combination with the sickness that visited our house, I haven't had much time to post anything lately. I have a handful of posts that have been swirling in my head during that time that I will get out in another week or so. In the meantime, don't mind me doing happy dances over here with my kiddos or scrubbing my bathrooms and floors as I try to get back into the swing of being at home.
