Kerries Peeves

I’m sick of apologizing for my messy house. Step over the Legos, step over the stacks of books. Pretend you don’t notice the crumbs on the carpet or the unmade beds.

Pretty soon my kids will be old enough to vacuum as part of their weekly chores. I fantasize about myself eating Dove chocolate and watching Grey’s Anatomy while they vacuum under my feet. Yeah, right.

I like the line in Office Space, “I don’t really like my job, and I don’t think I’m gonna go anymore.” Apply that to house-wifing, but not to mothering.

I choose to hold my babies for naps rather than have a nice 2+ hours to clean my home. My husband doesn’t absolutely love that the house looks like it does, but he supports my holding the babies for sleep.
