Acceptance

I've come to accept a few things in the past week or so:

1. My house will look like a disaster area, no matter how many times it's picked up and cleaned, for the foreseeable future. We have little munchkins with big imaginations. I'd rather a cluttered, happy house than a pristine, unhappy one.

2. Speaking of little munchkins, they are most definitely the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Some days they play together splendidly, other days I'm ready to get the wine out before 5pm.

3. I actually like a few hot days sprinkled throughout the summer. You know, the kind that barely appeared this year? They're kind of fun in their own way (and maybe a nice excuse to lay low instead of taking on the world every single nice weather day).

4. This is the last year of me being a full stay at home mom. Next September, Rosie will enter Kindergarten, and Buddy will begin Preschool part-time. When did this come on the radar?

5. This blog will be pretty quiet until I wrap up my presentation for the Historical Society, which is on Friday, September 19th at 7pm in the Goshen Town Hall! Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend! I'm using most all of my (little) free time to work on this program about life in Goshen circa 1895, based off the diaries and letters my ancestors left behind. Wish me luck!
