Family time in Out with the old, in with the new 2015

I’ve been meaning to write but as usual, I got busy and lost the time to write.

Yesterday something came up and well, my nieces an nephew came back. The house was completely disaster! It took me a bit to to get everything back in an order.

I am very clean person and I hate messy house. I also love kids…

Kids and a clean house do not go hand in hand.......

Took them swimming in our community pool ( I live in a quiet community and they have a pool for those that live in the community) we swam for 4 hours straight! That was crazy! A neighbor saw me with 5 kids in tow and asked me how I do it. I said. I don’t know.. I just do it.
Some days I find myself wondering how the hell did I do this, Then the other days I break down and I cry and hating life....

Being a mom is NOT easy!

But in 11 years I found out that organization and schedule make my life a lot less clutter!

My children have morning chores. 3 chores each. Then they can go on their merry way the rest of the day. Now I got I add Kamari to the chore list and that isn’t so bad. The twins is 4 and I know they’re capable of taking care of their messes so I figure They’ll do that throughout the day.... We will see how they fall into this chore schedule and if it doesn’t work I’m sure I’ll think of something else....

Other that that.. We have been taking family time very serious. Trail walking once or twice weekly ( with the dog) at first it was exhausting, the kids complaining about their legs, or water bottle that they carry is too heavy or the bugs biting them.... Ryan pushed them .. He pushed them HARD. The next time, they start to pick up what kind of plants we passed, what kind of water we passed and they sometime will led the way.... It became enjoyable and for us, quiet time. We have been at 4 different trails and multiples time at each one… Tonight we are going to a different one. I am excited about it :)

The other day I met our neighbor. She live two houses down and have a German shepherd that wants to eat my Suh… She’s a nice woman and she have a 14 years old daughter that smoke and having sex. ( yikes) she gave Lexi bunch of clothes that is either barely used or brand new with tags still attached … Save me loads of $$$ …

I cannot believe how fast summer is flying by!!!
