A clean house?

This morning I sent the boys to school and Quinton is sleeping so its just me and Reagan so of course Im thinking its the perfect opportunity to push myself to get some cleaning done. The cleaning that I havent gotten done in the 10 weeks since having Reagan and those of you know me well know that Im a little(ok a lot) OCD about my house. Its driving me crazy! Unfortunately between my poor achy body and my little princess who wants constant attention I havent gotten hardly a thing done. I was getting a little discouraged about it too untill I saw this on a friends blog ( Thanks zoey!) :



"Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth,Empty the dustpan, poison the moth, Hang out the washing and butter the bread, Sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy BlueLullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.Dishes are waiting and bills are past due, Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo.
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.
The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."
-Ruth Hamilton.

It was a nice reminder of what is the most important! Therefore I will warn those who may stop by my house....... It will be a mess. Im too busy playing with my babies!!!
