Well the countdown is on & things are getting crazy busy around here. (as if they weren't already). It seems like every day & every evening is packed with either taking care of kids, move details, last minute church stuff (more of that for Bryce than me, although we both are speaking in church in 2 Sunday's) and it's just one thing after another. Ad I am just tired. I swear I feel sleepy just about every day. It seems like we are up late every night chatting About this and that... You know how it is, by time the kids are all finally sleeping, we finally can talk to each other & have real, uninterrupted conversations. So that just makes things worse in the end, I'm just more tired & still have as much to do, lol. Oh well, it is what it is.
Friday night I spent the whole evening folding laundry. Yup, that's right, the whole evening, and I still have 3 more baskets waiting to be folded! Bryce was at a work function so I was at home manning the fort. I spoke to Lindsay for a good chunk of the evening (I love my headset, I can talk & do whatever for a very long time. Money well spent!) Anyways, I spent the whole time folding and chatting, which helped the process along. By the end of my marathon folding session, I just kept thinking, I hate this laundry, it never ends, it only gets worse every week, it's tormenting to keep up with... AND I DID THIS TO MYSELF!! No one twisted my arms to have 5 kids. Sigh. I love having 5 kids, but I'm not going to lie people, the work that is involved is utterly exhausting some days. And I feel like a laundry slave. AND I MAKE MY KIDS FOLD & PUT AWAY THEIR OWN CLOTHES! and I still feel like a laundry slave after all is said and done. Sigh. I'm kinda hoping (but not really expecting) that when we move to the new house with main floor laundry, that I will 'keep up' with it. OK, stop laughing, get yourself up off the floor, I might actually keep up... LOL LOL LOL. I know, I know, it's just going to be in my face & I won't be able to hide it in the basement anymore. Instead people will stop by and see the mountain... Although maybe they'll feel bad for me & grab a basket & fold it, lol. Of course I wouldn't let anyone do that, I'm just kidding, kinda. ;)
So this is my last week of watching kids in Shilo. I'm very very happy to have a break for a bit. I've saved up money like a mad woman, we can float along for awhile without me working if we have too. But I'd rather keep it in savings vs. spending it on groceries. So I'll give myself enough time to unpack & get settled in & spend lots of time with my own kids. I'm looking forward to that. There are so many fun things I can do with the kids in St Albert & in Edmonton, I think it will be a nice break for all of us! And I'm going to take the time to 'rest up' (lol) so I can keep working & maintain feeding these 5 kids ;)
Well I think my blogging window is over. It was nice while it lasted. This is therapeutic to have a laundry rant. It didn't make the 3 baskets fold & put themselves away, but it was a good rant. Night all.
