Having fun playing with the camera:
One fateful Sunday afternoon I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to toilet paper towers! That's just what happens when you don't put those things away after the grocery store....and when you fall asleep in the middle of the day.....Well, they were pretty creative with them. And Superman and the Lego guys used the towers well. AND, the toilet paper is still totally usable for it's intended purposes. They're just not as round as they normally are.....kind of flat now. The toilet paper I mean. Wow, yes I just wrote that.
Oh man, I love these kids.
Aftermath:
So, sometimes I'm really tired at the end of the day. And I don't want to clean. And I take a picture of the rooms instead of clean them. It somehow feels less messy to me if I just look at the picture and not the real thing. So that's my way of relieving stress. And sometimes I WILL actually just clean it. That's another good way to relieve stress.
But, my life lesson learned/still learning is to just leave the mess if I'm too tired because it's stressful to have a clean house but to be too tired to have energy for other things more important to me.
Oh! In fact, if you don't mind let me indulge and share one of my favorite quotes on that note:
“We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives.
We have to decide what is important and then move
along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to
develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something.
We have to learn to be content with what we are.”
-Marjorie Pay Hinckley
