Charlotte the Destroyer

You know the saying, "Cleaning up with children in the house is like shoveling snow in a blizzard?"

Meet Charlotte Elizabeth:

This is what Charlotte did to my shoes in my closet.

This is what Charlotte did to her sister's travel bag upon our return from Chicago.


This is what Charlotte did to my clean laundry.


This is what Charlotte did when she  knocked the entire contents of the pepper shaker onto the floor. (I will admit this one was an accident.)


This is what Charlotte did to my room when left alone for 15 minutes.

Wow. It is a really good thing that girl is cute.

Cleanliness is next to childlessness?

Today, for lunch, while making the girls their chicken nuggets and fruit, I seriously contemplated just grabbing one of the beers in the fridge and calling it a day. It was 5 o'clock somewhere, right? Granted, probably in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but still. I know you can picture the scene now, can't you? Molly and Charlotte chowing down on chicken nuggets while I gulp down a brewski. A Michelob Ultra Pomegrante Rasberry, to be exact (I know it's a girly beer, but I'm a girly girl, so deal). So, while I didn't actually go for it, I really, really, really wanted to.

Now, let me be clear, I know it was just Mother's Day, and I'm so grateful to be able to be a mother, I love my children, they are my world, my light, yada, yada, yada ... But ...

Keeping the house clean with two children is driving me insane. Sometimes, pretty literally. Thus, the almost-beer for lunch.
