It's tempting to just skip over all of the bad days in this blog and just write about the fun, upbeat stuff. But that would not be an accurate portrayal of my life. Sometimes I just lose it. I think everybody does.
So my weekend got off to a bad start. Saturday I was letting a bunch of little things bother me more than they should. So what was bothering me so much? I wrote about us "re-organizing" in a previous post, and in our efforts to remove the clutter from Blake's office and his truck, we let all of that clutter build up in other parts of the house (namely, the living room, kitchen, and dining area). And when I have such a huge task of cleaning ahead of me, and I don't know where to start, I get overwhelmed and prefer to ignore the problem. I know that's not a good thing to do, and that's something I'm going to have to work on. Isabelle was also very fussy that day, and while I LOVE being a mother, sometimes you just want to pull your hair out. The weather had been bad for a several days, and I tend to get moody without sunshine. It was also very windy, and the wind was blowing against the side of our house ALL day and it was LOUD. (This was clue #1 that my breastfeeding/pregnancy hormones were messing with me as well: I was seriously pissed off at the wind.) And everything just seemed to be much worse because while I was wallowing, hubby was having a great time playing golf. So my poor Blake came home to a hysterical, depressed wife. Blake gave me all of the comfort I needed, then watched the baby and kept her happy while I made desserts for Ariel's bridal shower.

"Spring" Cleaning in the Steiner Household
So as I've been exhausted all day while nursing and caring for a 6 month old AND growing baby #2, the house has been in pretty bad shape. My husband has been wonderfully patient with me, not complaining as long as I do his laundry, fix his meals, and keep the kitchen reasonably clean.
Over the past year and a half, we've accumulated a lot of clutter. We didn't realize how much CRAP we had until Blake cleaned out his truck and his office (which we had been using as a storage room/pantry). It's made us realize that we have to do something. I mean, we have a good-sized 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house, and we're only able to use part of it because it's filled with junk we don't even use! And, yes, I plead guilty for contributing to the problem because whenever my parents get rid of their crap, I take it into our house. *sigh.*
