Project “clean up the house” has been underway at our house for about a week now. I’m still not sure if the other four people who live in my house are aware of this fact, but anyway…
…in the last two months, I have given birth to my third
child, gone back to two of my teaching jobs, and started a bakery with some
family members…just to mention a few things.
Throw in writing for two blogs, making baby blankies, and packing us all
up for a weekend away from home for a wedding (I’m still un-packing, and we’ve been home 10 days), and it’s safe to say that
my house needs some attention.
Especially considering these next two
months include hosting a baby shower, two different weekends with out-of-town
guests, and an open house for the bakery. Whew!
So, as I’m knee deep in toys, laundry, Halloween
decorations, and half-packed bags (did I mention we are going on a
mini-vacation two days from now? Yeah…), my son comes downstairs to find me and
says “Mommy, can we go for a walk?” I
had just gotten into the “organizing” groove, I had piles and piles of things
to do…and yet, the thought of a walk seemed heavenly.
To be honest, it was.
Walking outside with my family, my three boys and my precious baby girl,
was exactly what I needed. The Fall air was crisp, perfect. My sons laughed, my daughter looked around at
the trees towering over her stroller, and my husband and I shared some
much-needed adult conversation.
As I tackled Project Clean Up later that night, I did it
with a smile on my face. I pray that God
always reminds me to take a break.
Especially when the break includes spending quality time with my four
favorite people in the whole world.
The house can wait.
(That’s pretty obvious!)
