So, I’m sure that some of you don’t remember that show, but I have been lost this weekend. I have been lost in making great memories with my girls. I have realized a few things the past few weeks with the primary one being that time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with my girls and now they are both getting so big. I have realized that the house will always be there, laundry will always need to be done, dinner always needs to be cooked and toilets will always need to be scrubbed. I have decided that keeping a perfectly clean house should not be my top priority. Don’t get me wrong our house is always picked up and clean but there is always something that will need to be scrubbed so I have decided that it is more important to make memories with my girls than to worry about whether or not the toilet will get a ring around it during the next few days.
This weekend hubs was working so I had two choices… I could either stay home with the girls and scrub the house down or head to the beach house my in-laws bought and have a great weekend with the girls. I chose the latter. I packed the girls up and headed to the beach Friday after work. Since we have toiletries and all that down there all I had to do was pack a few clothes and since the majority of our time was spent in bathing suits, there wasn’t much to pack. Although next time I will need to remember to pack panties for the oldest one, but thankfully there is a washer and dryer down there so she didn’t go commando for long!
We had a great weekend and you know what… we got home and everything was still there! Yes, some things will need to be scrubbed down this week but I got some priceless pictures of my sweet girls having a ball in the sand and water! It was definitely worth it to spend some time after they go to bed this week scrubbing the house room by room each night. It might even work out better than doing the whole house one day a week! Who knows until you try it.
Regardless… we are going to the beach again this weekend!!! YAY!!! Sun, shells, water and sand here we come (again)!!! I am going to concentrate more on the memories with the girls versus how clean the house is. What do you remember more from growing up… how spectacularly clean the house was or how much fun you had with your parents? I want them to remember me down in the sand playing with them and having a great time versus “mommy can’t play right now… can’t you see the ring in the toilet?”
What are your plans for the weekend… memories or “other” stuff that can wait?
