Thursday Thoughts

I have been working very slowing at organizing every drawer, every closet and each space in my home. We have so much nonsense that has accumulated and the clutter makes me feel overwhelmed. From the bins of kids clothes, to the bins of mommy's clothes in pre-baby, maternity, immediate post baby and post, post baby. :) The toys...ALL THE TOYS. The junk drawer(s). The closets. Under all the sinks! You get the idea.

So here is what I worked on recently...our kitchen junk drawer.

BEFORE

AFTER

Makes me feel much better now when I open this drawer and can actually see what I am looking for. On to the next area in desperate need of organization.

Monday I took Austin up to the hospital for his eye check up post surgery. His eyes are doing fabulous. I am thrilled with our doctor and so excited to continue helping him! Glasses are still needed but his eyes are not crossing at all anymore (praise!).

So the experience was a new one for me...you see, McKenna threw the most monumental tantrum in the hospital lobby. She got upset about the muffin I bought them to share. She wailed. She flung her body to the ground and she screamed. Oh, so loud. (Austin was NEVER like this, hence, the new realm of parenting). She got muffin all over the place and she unleashed her new talent of the ability to make all her bones and muscles go to jello. I struggled to pick her up, to get her in the stroller and to get out of there as fast as I could. Embarrassing. To think...all because I broke the muffin in half to share between them. (Dear Lord, please help me when she enters puberty.)

The hospital story continues to after his appointment, I had walked the uphill football field out to the visitor parking lot and had loaded up the stroller and McKenna in to her carseat when Austin mutters, "I have to go poop". (SERIOUSLY!) Picture this...mom of 2, double stroller, backpack diaper bag bouncing on my back, running in boots the 100+ yards back into the hospital lobby (scene of the tantrum), praying no one is in the only stall large enough for my stroller, telling him to hold it.

By the grace of God, we made it without an accident. To say I was proud of him is an understatement. I always have clothes to change if needed, but it would have just been adding insult to injury.
