Cheerio's are the enemy!!

  With a 2 year old, 7 year old, and 8 year old, my house is never...should I say...clean. Not even a little. Because the minute I clean one room and move to the next, the first room I cleaned is now an absolute mess again because my 2 year old is the most mischievous, curious, independent child I know. She's been climbing since she was 6 months old, and hasn't stopped going 90 miles to nothin' ever since!  I've never been one to be "tidy" in the first place, and having children has only made things worse. I'm awful at organizing and I really would prefer to not be cleaning every single day. For my home to actually be clean, I would have to clean about 5 hours every day just to keep up with those little feet running amuck constantly pulling things off shelves, finding her big sissy's things to destroy, pick up every crumb she drops. IM JUST NOT THAT KIND OF MAMA!  When I have the energy, I try to get things more in order, but that's just not something that happens often.    I'm not usually easily distracted when performing a task, but when it comes to cleaning, there is just SO much that needs attention that I move from thing to thing without always finishing the task I originally started. I can clean for hours, walk in the room, and I can't even tell I lifted a finger! It is exceptionally hard with a little one running around behind you pulling out the things you just organized and put away.   Cheerios are Savannah's favorite snack, but I've come to realize they are my worst enemy! If I have to clean up another pile of Cheerios from the floor I think I just might scream! No matter how many you pick up, you ALWAYS find another one! Finally, when I've crashed on the couch, I spot it from across the room. It stares at me! It taunts me from across the room! Knowing I just can't do anything about it laying there! Just when I can't stand it any more... the baby walks by, notices it, and eats it! HAHA! Take THAT Cheerio! It won't hurt her, right? God made dirt, and dirt don't hurt! At least, that's what I choose to believe :)
