Things Are Gettin' Rough

When I was little, I had a baby bed. I barely remember it, but when I was home last my mom gave it back to me to share with Chamblee. I knew it would go over well. I didn't know she would be obsessed, and that this here baby bed would provide hours of entertainment and become the mother of all distractions when I am needed elsewhere- often with a certain {handsome, hungry, snuggly} little boy.

Two Owlies? Yes.

Not just for pretend babies


Cozy for cartoon time

Even daddies need to be tucked in sometimes


Y'all. Things are getting rough around here. It seems like I am playing a game called "how messy can my house get before I clean it" and I. Am. Winning. I would show you pictures, but last night we had Bible Study over here and things got straightened up a bit. A bit. Things. are. rough. I went to get a shower this morning and there wasn't a clean towel. in this whole house. That. is the truth. I was shocked. The laundry has been sorted on our closet floor for daysssss. Didn't I have time to actually wash it? Apparently not. So here I sit. Dirty, waiting on the laundry to get done so I can bathe. Pathetic. Where is my housekeeper? Wait. Napping on the couch, that's where. What other level of low are we reaching this week? Well. You know what I did Monday? I talked in a "dog voice" to get my child to eat. Yeah. She wouldn't eat any of her lunch. Until I pretended that Bailey said, "Hey, Chamblee, I love Mac & Cheese, don't you?" and of course State said, "I wish you would take one more bite!" And yesterday. I went into the dentist and left my van door open. What is going on. 

Well, I don't know what is going on but my friend said that pregnancy brain can last for up to 3 years and I am taking full advantage of that time frame. Does that mean I can multiply it by 2? Yes. I think it does. And if my math serves me right that is 5 6 years of pregnancy brain. This should be fun.

Until Next Time, 
The Guff

  1. It's ok Natalie, once the little guy gets a bit older you will catch up! You learn how to juggle as you have more ;). They require your attention so of course the house gets messy!!! ;) I usually schedule a day for towels, whites, darks, linens...and so forth... and clean up for an hour after the kiddos go to bed each night. Before I had a bad habbit of cleaning up all day behind the kids lol and at the end of the day I was beat!! Figure out what works best for you. Preggo brains happens to the best of
    us moms....and tend to last yes! I've had close to 7
    years of it haha.... Can't tell ya when your normal brains will return .... As mine haven't come back yet. ;)
    Good luck!

  2. Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow. Babies grow up!! Then there is all the time you want to clean up. I had "set" wash days too, but there were days when the dishes would stack...... Isn't it a good thing that life's purpose doesn't revolve around a clean house? :0)
    CLARIFICATION!! That was your DOLL baby bed!! You only pretended tosleep in it! Love you!
