Settle This

Is it every really possible, with 2 small children that is, to completely finish cleaning your house? It seems like no matter how much we try, we never get it ALL done.

By the way, does anyone want to adopt 2 chihuahuas? Chris is about ready to take the dogs to the pound after numerous accidents in the process of getting our tiling done (They're used to having piddle pads out and can't seem to accept that there is no longer one in the master bath - so they find another spot - even after letting them outside a gazillion times!!!...and Maya's puking incidents. Let's just say Chris is a pro at steam cleaning. (BTW-tiling still not done - patience, patience, patience.)

On a side note, I gave my "snow day" talk today and not long after I started, a little girl had run up to the stand, then ran around all of the seats up on the podium, then around the chapel. Someone helped hold the baby - so Chris could chase after her, and chase after her and then do it some more. I drifted between ignoring and not noticing it, to jokingly telling the congregation to ignore the little girl behind me, etc. What do you do in those situations?

Was the little girl running around behind you named Ava, by any chance?

Why yes, how'd you guess?

You must be glad your talk's over with. It must have been stressful to have Ava running around during your talk! No it's not possible to get your house totally clean with 2 kids. They create a path of destruction behind you.

I just have to let everyone know that Lori did a great job despite the distraction, and what could be cuter than a sweet little girl having fun with Mom and Dad?

I don't think your house is ever completely clean!! It's an ongoing process! It sounds like a crazy talk-giving experience, but I'm sure the congregation didn't mind the little running girl!

life is a continual adjustment.

I'm sure you did a great job, and I'm glad to hear that my boys aren't the only ones who run laps during sacrament meeting.
