It's A Lot Like Laundry

The laundry at the Roberts' house is NEVER done. I swear I wash at least 2-3 loads every day and yet I still never get caught up. Just when I think I have it all done I discover towels behind the door of Keaton's bathroom, or the socks behind Klayson's laundry basket because he missed when he was "shooting" them in. As I load the clothes into the washer I look at what I'm putting in and sometimes I even discover that Kennedy has been too lazy to hang up something she tried on but decided not to wear so she threw it in the basket instead. It's so much easier to have mom wash it, dry it, and fold it again, rather than just hang it up. Don't think for a minute that Olivia isn't as guilty as the other three. She uses every sleeve of every shirt as a napkin AND changes outfits as often as any teenage girl. My point: Laundry is overwhelming and never really done.
How does this tie to blogging? As you can see I have fallen a bit behind (My last post was May 23rd, only 8 months ago and Happy Birthday on that day, Mom). I often think I should try to catch things up, but like laundry it seems a bit overwhelming. A lot has happened in the past eight months. When you think about it, a whole pregnancy only lasts 9 months. Heck, too bad I'm not pregnant I would be about ready to deliver! NO, I AM NOT pregnant. (Just still fat from having Olivia three years ago.)
So, I will ever so slowly try to catch up. Kids keep us busy with piano, dance, scouts, YM, activity days, school events, sports, extended family, and of course homework. We are enjoying the moment and I guess blogging about it just hasn't been on my list of Top 100 Things To DO. I guess in my head I'm thinking that like laundry, a blog will never really be caught up because life goes on.
