It really goes like this. If it isn't 'Cleaning Thursday' then you can almost always count on the house being a disaster. This includes a random dirty diaper that somehow got left behind in the chaos of trying to get out the door in the morning. Laundry that is piled sky high because, frankly, I don't enjoy doing laundry until absolutely necessary. Dishes that have been waiting to be washed for a day or two, and a bathroom floor that is dying to be mopped.
We are boring. If it isn't work hours, you can always find us at home. Zac will be watching some sort of sport or "believe it or not" show on television. I will be in the kitchen either sitting at the table crafting or cooking dinner. Drayze will be crawling all over the place playing with toys; toys that are constantly scattered throughout the entire house. Our weekends usually are only exciting as getting a Redbox and having a mixed drink. Very seldom do we go do anything. Not only because we are home bodies, but because usually we are pinching our pennies.
We go to our average jobs, we make our money, we pay our bills {mostly on time}, we feed and diaper our son. At the end of that, we {frugally} wait for the next pay day.
We just get through the motions of day to day life. Zacary hates his job, and I will never be able to find a baby sitter who is 'good enough'. He eats his food too loud, and she cries over dumbest things far too often. Drayze can have days where he is a constant cry baby and nights he refuses to sleep. So, unless you're peaking in our window while we are not looking, our life is not as put together as we try to make it appear. But who's life is? We are all just average people who naturally mask our own lives to look perfect.
A typical no-work morning during Drayze's nap time. It does not take Zacary by surprise if when he gets home at 5, I am still in my pajamas.
Notice the laundry on the couch waiting to be folded? It's Thursday, that has been sitting there since Sunday. Lazy? Maybe. I blame it more on my hatred for doing laundry. ;)
Just a typical day picture.
"No way," he says. Getting this boy to eat his veggies is already a struggle at 7.5 months!
Above all else, we get along extremely well, we work together as a team, we laugh together, and motivate each other. We are a chaotic mess of happy! 💙
You! You feel my whole heart up with complete joy. It doesn't get better than getting to take a sneak peak at someone's "real" life. Although chaotic and sometimes boring, your life looks absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, does anybody actually get out of their pajamas on no-work days? I sure don't.
