In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I'm blessed

I'm a blogging slacker. I apologize.

Life has been a little bit of a blur lately. I've been working ridiculous hours because of tax season (and no, I'm not handling it very well). My body is not used to being pregnant. My body is not used to working this much. I'm a very very tired little lady. And, unfortunately, my home is what gets neglected. But I guess if something has to go by the wayside, the tidiness of my home is one of the lesser important things. I mean, I have a stable job and a happy marriage and a sweet little girl growing inside me. So what if the floors aren't swept and there is a layer of dust on the furniture?

Right now, Sundays are my only days 'off'. So I have to decide whether I want to spend Sundays cleaning the house and doing laundry or relaxing and having a little 'me time' after a looooong week.

This weekend I was planning on doing laundry. The poor laundry had been postponed way too many times and we were running out of clothes. I just knew I was going to spend the day slaving away in the living room, washing - drying - folding - putting away. But I understood that this was something that needed to be done, and I was going to do it.

So what does my oh-so-sweet husband do to help me in this task? He brings me outside into the absolutely beautiful weather and hangs a hammock for me in the backyard. Temperature in the low eighties, beautiful sunshine, and now a hammock right there in the backyard. AND I'M SUPPOSED TO SPEND THE DAY INSIDE DOING LAUNDRY?!? ugh.


EXCEEEPPPPPTT Robert also surprised me by saying 'take a break, Linds. spend some time in the hammock today, get a little knitting done.'


ohhhhhhhh sweet bliss. yesterday was the best day I've had in a LONG time. and the end of tax season is only a month away. the end is in sight!!

Hope you all have a great day =]
