Say What?!?!

I've been thinking lately,
or at least trying to.
I have fibromyalsia
which often causes me to live in "fibro fog".
I'm also mom to four with "mom brain".
I struggle with organization,
remembering things and focusing.
Do you think I would be diagnosed
as a classic case of ADD?
I was going to look it up
but I keep forgetting to!

Ha ha ha ha! How ironic!

Have a happy and silly Friday!
Life gives us lots to laugh about :)

Welcome To My Happy Mess

Life's been kicking my butt lately and boy am I sore!
I can't seem to keep up with all that is thrown my way.

I'm usually pretty good at rolling with the punches
and accepting my crazy, busy life.
I know some day the kids will grow and move
and I will miss the mess that currently nags at me.
Days will be less hectic and more quiet
and I will miss the noise, the chatter, the artwork on the floor
and wonder what to do with myself.

But sometimes
I feel overwhelmed.
Not enough hours in the day.
A friend stops by unexpectedly and my house is a disaster.
I have to take Child A to one place,
Child B needs help with homework,
Child C is crying and needs my attention NOW!
And child D, where is child D?
There he is. Waiting patiently in his room for me to read a book.
I said, "Wait one minute." (I fear that was a half hour ago).

I still have laundry to fold, dishes to wash and homework to deal with.
It's bed time.
Maybe I'll feel a little better if I can just get the table wiped down.
Hey! What's this?

Why, it's a happy little mess!
Here to remind me why I do it all
and how very worth it every moment is.

I just love my kids!!!!!

While wiping down the table I spotted this happy little mess of crumbs hanging out among the other crumbs and sticky goo. I called the kids in and said, "Hey guys! Look at this happy little mess!!!" and we all had a good laugh.

Foto Friday?

Earth Day was yesterday.
I was busy working away in my garden.
How did you spend your day?

Wanna know how the neighborhood spiders spend their day?
Take a look at my front lawn!!!!
Creepy Cool!
