I should be doing laundry...

My life has quickly become all about prioritizing.  I originally thought the title of the this blog should be "I should be doing laundry..."  I found myself numerous times of days prioritizing, one example of a choice I make almost everyday: Is it more important to wash the dishes from breakfast and lunch or should I take a nap?  Another one: Should I put away the basket of clothes or play with Landan and Carson?  Obviously, these are pretty easy choices.  Sometimes I really have a hard time deciding what to do.  What is more important, what will help me make it through the day?  Just last night I had a huge choice to make.  I really needed to shower but for the first time in the six short weeks of the twins life they were both asleep before 10 p.m.  I faced with a choice, which one was higher on my priority list: shower or get a solid two maybe three hours of sleep.  I choose to sleep.  You may think I am crazy but I think you would be crazy to choose the other.  Irony of all ironies I couldn't sleep.  I fell asleep 20 minutes before Ethan and Evan woke up.  So, this morning I am tired and I am still in serious need of a shower.  Sometimes my prioritizing works and sometimes it doesn't, obviously last night it didn't work in my favor.  One thing I have learned since having my boys is that I have very little within my control.  The sooner I realize this the more at peace I will be, not very clean but at least at in peace. :)

  1. Jamie! I love it : ) Love the title and the colors and love that picture of the boys on the bottom - my favorite is def. Carson with the paint on his head. Can't wait to come see you in a couple of weeks.

    Oh and sleeping is definitely higher on the priority list than showering : )

  2. Sleep BETTER be #1! I can't tell you how many times I've gone w/o showering or brushing my teeth. Gross. Before kids this would NOT have happened! But good mom's are ALWAYS dirty! :) -Crystal
