My little helper

The other day I was folding laundry and stepped out of the room for a minute and returned to find Macie very proud of herself for folding a towel (I know the towels look gross, they're the old).  She has mad folding skills:

Maybe with a little practice, I will have a handy helper! :)


Then today, I was busy picking up around the house and heard rumbling in the kitchen.  I walked in and found this:



She said, "I'M CLEANING MOMMY!"

What a little sweetie!  I hope she always wants to help me because I'm a terrible housekeeper!

A True Confession - My Crazy Unorganized Life

So, if you know me - you know I'm a full-time student and stay at home mommy :).  I really HATE the fact that I have to leave Macie 3 days a week to go to school (luckily she has a very sweet babysitter).  Not only do I have to leave her, but I also have to come home to homework, housework, cooking, you name it - I (sometimes) do it! 

Well, I'm a major slacker...which becomes a problem by the end of the week when all of my online assignments are due.  Instead of doing homework, Macie and I might go to the park or run around outside for a little while.  Trust me, with a 2 year old and a husband that doesn't get home until 7:30 (the earliest most nights), my homework is definitely lowest on the totem pole.  Right now, I have a paper due by the end of the day and I'm doing this instead.  Yes, I'm a horrible student and a major procrastinator.  I always say, though, that I work best under pressure.  So I'll give myself a couple of hours to write. 

Housework - where do I start?  I've never been the tidiest of people, it's just not my thing.  I'm extremely unorganized, I have a lot of stuff, and the vacuum cleaner and mop and myself all have a hate-hate relationship.  Yes, I said hate-hate.  My floors definitely hate me.  My dishes should like me, I do keep those clean.  Those and the clothes (most of the time).  I think housework does like homework - I would rather clean my house than do homework any day.  Sometimes when I have something due, my entire home will be spotless by the end of the day.  I'm crazy...I know!
