Read this post here, called "First The Babies". I mean, if you want to. It's not an order.
For anyone unfamiliar with C Jane, she is Mormon and has her own blog. She started her blog to help her try to enjoy life while battling with infertility. Her sister is Stephanie Nielson of The NieNie Dialogues, another blogger who is read by many.
I loved C Jane's post and totally agree with it. Right now is my time to be a mother. I don't need to be anal about if my house is all in order, or busy myself with projects and other things that take a lot of time away from my children. I mean, obviously we all need one or two things to keep ourselves sane, but right now is the time I have to take care of my children, to teach them gospel principles, and to be the best I can be for them. I shouldn't allow myself to be distracted by trying to cook picture-perfect dinners or to be overly obsessed with trying to stay in fashion.
It will all come later, after the kids.

This is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. Especially because I just got mad at Andrew for dumping his milk on my floor that I just mopped. It's like he doesn't appreciate my efforts to mop the floor at 30 weeks pregnant. Sheesh. :)
well - I don't think those things necessarily have to come afterwards either..... macaroni grill makes some picture perfect meals
True!
But you look pretty dang awesome regardless of your efforts, anyway! ;)
Thanks for that, I needed it!
