I like to have a really clean house, but I find that with 4 kids, 2 dogs and a full-time job, that is very hard to accomplish as often as I'd like. Frusterating? Yes. For me, sometimes I get frusterated that my house is in a perpetual state of 'lived in' whereas I'd prefer it to look like a showcase home.
(what's wrong with everything having a place? Does the word "junk drawer" make anyone else cringe? Kinda like asking an accountant how they feel about the word, "petty cash" ...haha!)
And then Maddie and I watched Marley and Me together the other day. Aw. I've seen it before, but it's been awhile. I had forgotten how naughty Marley was! I had forgotten how much they loved him in spite of his naughtiness. I was reminded that dogs will be dogs no matter what. I have to admit it gave me a new appreciation for my dogs...and a bit of a relief that I'm not the only person in the world who loves a (sometimes) naughty dog. I really do love the way they hang out with us all, like they did last night while we all lounged around watching the Bucks on TV. I was trying to read my new magazine at one point, and you can see how far I got with that....
I think they missed me while I was gone to Nashville. I think they love me because I feed them and for no other reason than that.
I think I'll take it.
I suppose someone has to. :-)
