Clean, teach, dead tired.

So today was kinda productive. I was cleaning like a tornado, ipod classic on my head sorting clothes & gathering trash, organizing shoes, rushing around so fast and making myself exhausted. It is so worth it though. I want the house to be clean and smell good and be organized. There is nothing worse for a mom than to be looking for something when in a hurry or being late because they cannot find anything they are looking for.  So I have been working really hard and it is almost back-breaking labor to clean and still have more and more cleaning to do. lol  I tried so hard to keep going but at some point you have to rest and eat & drink some water to replenish your body back to good. I think if children knew how hard us parents worked to keep them happy, healthy and safe ...guess what? They still wouldn't care. That is part of being an adult I think, being not only grown but handling the serious stuff and working out problems and solving the troubles that may come along in front of you and your loved ones. Sometimes I think, jeez...I need a break! But I am too bull-headed to stop and rest. I am like a steam train, blow a lot of hot air, get a lot done. lol But seriously, I give it up for any parent, father, mother , relatives who care for children these days. Treat them right, but also teach them to respect you and value what they have. I am very blessed and I hope that one day my children see what joy they brought into my life. I was reading my middle daughter a bedtime story and she was like: "read another book Mom".  I love it, to hear the eagerness in her voice to learn. As parents and caregivers of children we can be their greatest teacher.  Just a little something to think on until later. I am beat, I have to go to sleep now...later people.
