...Helpful Kids

Day 61
I seem to be focusing on my kids lately but what else would a mother do? I have had about all I can handle of a messy house. The house isn't nearly as bad as it could be. I have actually always thought of myself as a not so great housekeeper but since I have been unable to clean the house I have realized that I'm actually not that bad.

Yesterday the kids helped me with their rooms and their Christmas stuff. Today, I decided we were going to get some more stuff done. The kids took orders like champs and they helped me clean up my room and my bathroom. They also helped me do laundry again by transporting clothes to and from the laundry room and helping me put them away. I was impressed that they were still helpful after the day I put them through yesterday.

There are a lot of times when I feel like I am yelling at them to get things done and today wasn't necessarily easy but they stuck with me and for that I am thankful.
