so lately the laundry has been getting me down. and the dishes. and the sweeping.
but i have an antidote: i play with my kids. when i play with them, i forget all the drudgeries of motherhood and remember all its blessings.
3 Nephi 22:
"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children."

This is my philosophy too! The more you play with the fam - the sweeter life is. Hire some young girl to clean for ya!
Very true!
agreed. Thats why my house is a disaster--b/c I'm such a good mom :)
I used to be anal about having a clean home. That lasted about 2 months of marriage. papers piled high, laundry without end, and boxes i still haven't unpacked from our move 6 months ago. but you are right. none of it matters. (Until you actually go to the store to BUY clothes and underwear for your children because you haven't done laundry for a few months. a.k.a. ME last week.) But I have found that using my energy to play with my boy is much better than wasting it on chores. I'm not saying that chores are bad. . . But when it comes time to chose (which it does for everyone). . .playing with the chitlins brings the most smiles.
You're a WONDERFUL mama, Brit. I miss you!
