almost back on track

As my pregnancy sickness subsides, and my clarity returns,  i realize that i am way way behind schedule on my duties... it has taken a good 3-4 weeks to get back to that point in the household chores where i feel somewhat comfortable.

Now i can wake up, and make breakfast, then CLEAN THE KITCHEN, woooohooooo!!

Now i can fold laundry and have the kids help put it up WITHOUT yelling and then throwing up,  yyyyyaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!

i can vacuum every few days, with sweeping in between... no more dirty bare feet, yipppppppyyyyyy!!!!!

i feel like my self again, and like i am living/almost thriving in my OWN house.

This feeling of equilibrium comes with the harsh realization that it will not last long... as soon as this baby comes i will be right back too, long hauls of no house work, dotted with short bursts of sporadic cleaning(that doesn't get much accomplished anyways).

I am hoping that i will have my renovations on the upstairs done enough before hand, to do my pre baby deep cleaning so that, that nice clean house feeling lasts longer than a few days :/

On another good note... today is my last day of full time baby sitting... i feel like jumping for joy!!!!!

I know I have been monster Mommy for the past 3-4 months. throwing up, baby sitting other people kids, the step son moving in for a few months... and now today marks the end of all of that, and honestly the tears are close! I can't wait to hold my three babies and tell them how great they are, and then tell them we can have this time to ourselves from now on, "i am just YOUR mommy" no more Mrs. Anitra... no more activities and lunches planned for the masses, we can have what WE like to eat, and do what WE like to do, and not hear complaining and whining all day long!!!!

Its not the kids fault that they hate every thing that we like, that is just the consequence of watching another families children, especially for a family that is on the opposite spectrum of society from us!

I am just having a good morning, and to make it even better (or i don't know maybe it will make it turn for the worse) i am about to start on a quilt for my best friends wedding. 

yay for back to almost normal!!
