So today, when I woke up and realized I had no other kids to take care of except my own, I was feeling very grateful.
I should probably backtrack a bit and explain, hm?
See, the past two days, I had been watching a friend’s daughter for him. Every five to ten minutes I was up refereeing who got to play with what, when, and who needed to give who some personal space. It was quite the project. I know, I know, there’s some of you who would say, “C’mon, Lin, it was only two days! You couldn’t keep up for only two days?”
My answer? A resounding no.
I honestly don’t think I’m made to do day care or things like that. I love my kids and have this amazing admiration for people who are able to keep up with a whole passel of kids. (And hey, getting paid for it is the shiz, yo.) But oh my goodness, I am entirely too anal about the cleanliness of my house and having my to do lists to even consider letting kids run rampant in my home. Marv told me last night I take the term Domestic Diva to a whole new level.
And I probably do. I rock at organization (ignore my desk…) and keeping my household running smoothly. When it comes to things that disturb that balance, unless it’s my own kids, or other kids who are only visiting for a very short period of time, I really can’t do it. Call me OCD, but the lack of cleanliness and a smooth running ship drives me up a wall!
All that said, I hope everyone’s settling in to my new web home with me. I’m finding this to be very easy to use. Tomorrow I’ll hopefully have previews of some items I’m planning to stock and, oh! Right!
I’m re-opening on July 15th!
I thought about doing it at the beginning of this month, but I figured I would’ve really worked myself out for nothing, with the holiday coming up. So stick around, get some previews, and I might even have a blog contest! Oooooooooo!
One last thing before I go:
Happy belated Canada Day to the Canadians out there!
Happy Independence Day (soon!) to the Americans!
