Isn't it silly all the things we worry about that aren't as important as our children and the peace in our homes...we must guard against little non-important things that soon steal the peace in our home. haha! Sally...I laughed at your, "not picking up the toys, doesn't make the food taste bad at all"! Your right!

It is exactly what I needed to hear at this very busy phase in my life! Our 5 little ones are ages 5 -4 months and for the first time I am simply not able to keep up with the laundry, meals or housework, I am always behind in one or the other. I have been feeling a bit desperate about it, but have also been trying to keep my priorities straight. While it certainly helps to have the basics kept up with I think I need to learn not to worry if the silverware drawer needs organized, or the dryer needs dusted, or even if there are clothes waiting to be folded (at least they are clean) ;-) Thank you for the reminder to slow down and enjoy my little roses :-) P.S. I have been greatly enjoying your blog since stumbling upon it a few weeks ago. I remember when you moderated the Quiverfull digest :-) Thanks for such an encouraging post!

It's finally hitting me that a few dishes in the sink isn't going to make the world come crashing down...and not picking up Ethan's toys before dinner, doesn't make the food taste bad at all. ;) I'm seeing the difference (and value) between being a "clean freak" and being tidy. It's a tough lesson for me, but I'm learning it...and my household is happier for it. ps - thanks for your honesty :) Even though I only have one kiddo, I deal with the whole priority dilema - I’m a clean freak by nature, but I also love time with my family and even just a few minutes to sit down and unwind now and again…Phillip has been a big help with this for me.
