Transitions

I hate the transition between seasons. My house is always a wreck and I get so overwhelmed I am crying at the thought of organizing the disaster.

It starts out okay, I think I am going to put all the winter clothes away. Then we have 3 days of freezing weather in a row. So I wait, but I have already drug out all the spring clothes. So between the 4 kids I have 8 wardrobes out at once. I don't have room in my laundry room for all these clothes, so I end up piling freshly laundered clothes on the couch and chair. Moving it only when we have company. And Kale has this horrible habit of putting whatever he doesn't "know where it goes" into the laundry room on the floor. So that room is so full of stuff I don't even want to go in there. Plus right now (and the whole 2 yrs we've lived here) my dryer takes 2-80min cycles to dry ONE load of wash. We thought it was our old dryer when we first moved here, then we bought a new one, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. They have been out here to snake the air vent tube, from the laundry room to the front of the house. They have checked the outlet, the guy said it was fine. But I am not convinced he knows what he is talking about, he probably saw that it was putting out the normal voltage for a regular outlet. Not the voltage a dryer outlet should be putting out, which I think is double.

So I am at my wits end. I am exhausted, I am starting to worry about Kale's impending departure. We have so much to do and so little time left. I want to get everything done, but not kill myself in the process. Sophia is being 2 and driving me bananas. Delilah is being a teething baby, crabby and clingy. I really could just curl up and sleep for a week.

I hope you are having a better day than I.
