Believe it or not...
Believe it or not, but this living room was completely picked up, straightened out, and vacuumed approximately 15 minutes before I took this picture. I went into the other room to change Kiahna's diaper and to put a few things away in my room. When I came back through the living room, this is what I saw...
It probably took Aliya 8-10 minutes to put all the stuff in there; however, it took me about 2 hours to get her to pick it all up. After helping Aliya put everything back in her room, I went in the kitchen to help Niah make some cookies. It only took me about 5 minutes (8 at the most!) because she already had everything mostly done. I heard Kiahna crying, so I headed towards the girls bedroom. This is what I saw...
Aliya had blocked Kiahna in her room by stacking up blankets and toys in the hallway! I was actually impressed, but being impressed didn't helped with the overwhelming feeling of "not another mess to clean up!" Some may think that being a stay-at-home mom is a lazy job. I challenge those individuals to follow me around a few hours, and I am sure they would quickly change their minds! Some days I feel that I have ran the Boston marathon! I just don't understand why my waistline isn't shrinking!

It took me a little bit to get over the waves of laughter like I told you earlier. I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one that seems to have this problem. I am really beginning to question my decision to want to be a stay at home mom now that he is 2 1/2. It seems most days the biggest accomplishment I can seem to achieve is if I get a shower in and maybe a load or two of laundry. That's it. He will undo everything quicker and messier than it was to begin with. Silly kids. I need Merry Maids!!!!!
