So, up until recently, I would say I have lived in the "I've had it up to here with..." world regarding the following items:
Laundry
Therapy
Errands
Taxes
Bathrooms (the cleaning of, not the use of)
Poop
Screeching
Fighting
Yelling
Throwing
Hitting
Kicking
Licking
Spitting
and my kids....
For real, I had hit capacity and then some... But some recent events (which I can't go into detail about- so just sit over there and get all mad at me for bringing it up why don't you) have made me realize that IT does get better.
What is IT? Everything. Every. single. thing. that drives you crazy right now. The mail running at 11 instead of 3- sucks when you need to get bills in the mail, but- it does get better. Only getting a 1/2 a load of laundry done per day- means your clothes could become zombiefied from the grossness they have been growing in, but it does get better. All those things I listed up there- they are still around- but taking a deep breath and reminding myself that EVERYTHING is a phase and one day the yelling will be more than just noise and the spitting will be purposeful and the poop will go in a toilet and the kids will be old enough to handle cleaning products responsibly and the taxes will get simpler (Fair Tax? Anyone?) and the laundry will get easier (little things are so hard to fold) and the errands will get fewer and the therapies- well they'll be there but we'll figure out a routine that works, and in general- things will change and though it may not be the change I hope for, I know it will be an improvement. So, YAY! Things get better- this is your friendly reminder. In the words of someone I love, but who really doesn't get my life "you never saw a grown up who wasn't potty trained- he'll get there." Yeah, for me this is a pretty real possibility, but for most people, it makes sense. Don't sweat it, things come at the right time, etc. etc. etc. Love you all!
