Life is just one big chaotic jumble of activity that makes it difficult to remember what is truly important. My house is currently a disaster. There are piles of both clean and dirty laundry waiting to be taken care of, the bathroom hasn't been cleaned in over a month, and there are piles of things that I still need to find homes for in our tiny apartment. It is overwhelming at times but sometimes I need to just take a breathe and ignore the mess for a few minutes and just enjoy the moment that I am in instead of worrying about everything that isn't getting done.
My little boy is already 5 months old. If I am not careful his baby years will pass me by without my notice. Yes, there are things that need to be done but sometimes what is most important is for me to reevaluate what is the priority: a clean house or building a relationship with my son. In 20 years what he will remember and care about is not how much I struggled with keeping the house clean but how much time I spent with him and whether I took time to just enjoy life with him. The dishes will still be there in the morning but my son will not be this little forever and I for one am choosing to stop and smell the roses.
