The kids and I were up way, way too late last night, and it hasn't been a pretty day around here. Cory stayed up even later than we did, but he seems to be able to sleep in when he does that. I suppose it doesn't help that we've barely left the house these past two days because it's been so frickin' cold. I even canceled the LLL meeting we were supposed to have yesterday because I didn't want all of those moms feeling they had to travel with their little ones, especially since most of the regular moms come from about a half hour away.

So, I've been attempting to clean. The problem with doing that while three children are also in the house is that while you're cleaning one area, they're playing in another and strewing toys and misc. items all around. It's really disheartening to come from a nice, clean space to enter a mess where there hadn't previously been one.

It isn't all bad. The other day Accalia and Cole cleaned up the living room, made a snack for me, and even set a magazine and homemade card right next to my spot so I could relax. Very sweet.

Now on to another week. The kids are excited about Valentine's Day even though we don't have anything major planned. I'm excited about that day because I'm finally getting my hair cut after probably close to four months since my last one. Geez. It seems as if I can barely get it together with three kids. How's that gonna work with four? Yikes!
