CHAOS
A condition or place of great disorder or confusion
Does the definition of chaos resonate with some of you parents out there? Since I became a mom, I am surrounded by chaos. My house is in great disorder about 90% of time! There are so many chores to be done, laundry to be folded, and dishes to be washed. I have a long list household to-do's, but I never put an unrealistic timeline on them. Instead there is no timeline because I believe they will be done sometime in my lifetime!
In addition, there is the chaos that comes from parenting your children. The other day my husband was going to be at work until late, so it was just me and my three children for the day. Well, there was plenty of disorder and confusion. I had to deal with nose bleeds, injuries, temper tantrums, sibling disagreements, picky eating, nap failures - all in one day!! Of course, this all had to happen while I was on my own. However I realized that this is probably how it is most days because with my husband around to help out, it seems a little more balanced.
I don't think there is any denying that chaos is a part of our family life. I feel like I am constantly running around between my children, business, and housework. There are days that I feel that the chaos has taken over my day. But then I wake up the next morning to my baby boy's cheeful cooing and my daughters' loving smiles as we snuggle in bed. It is then I realize that the chaos is all worth it to have moments like these! Now I must leave because my son has just hit is head on the floor. Let the chaos begin!
