Oh it's been a crazy few weeks and I'm still trying to get in some sort of a "routine" with my time home between milkings. One would think I would have all kinds of time to get caught up on things around the house, but I feel like I haven't even made a dent in everything I still want to do. This may be due to lack of energy from the early morning hours and most definitely having a 3 year old constantly wanting his Mommy's attention all day.
There were issues with my dryer (damn thing!) and it wasn't heating properly so one load of laundry would take 3-4 cycles in the dryer to dry completely and that put me behind in that department and well, I haven't even made a dent in the playroom downstairs that so desperately needs to be reorganized and cleaned. Hopefully now that my dryer is fixed and I feel like I'm getting a little more energy throughout my day, I can make some progress soon on those two things.
However, there is still the issue of the attention needing 3 year old by the name of Lukas. He so loves having me home. Not that he has really told me that or anything, but I'm pretty certain of it seeing as how anytime I attempt to take a nap he comes over immediately and tells me "Up Mama!" and he is always asking me to play trains, trucks, tracties or games with him. Oh yeah, and when I get home from the farm in the morning he almost instantly tells my mother-in-law that she should now go home.
So I've been trying to get his help with various projects and stuff I want to get done during the day. He loves to be my "helper" although it does usually slow the process down a tad. And today he was my helper in the kitchen to make our favorite chocolate chip cookies.

I do realize that baking cookies today obviously didn't help in the dent I need to make in the laundry and playroom but what I do know is that for one little 3 year old boy, he thought helping me with this task was "the bomb!".
It truly is the little things in life that mean the most if you ask me. When it comes right down to it Lukas doesn't care at all that the laundry isn't caught up and he sure doesn't care if the playroom is atrocious (seriously it is - no pictures necessary), but he does care that I pay attention to him and that he got to help his Mama and make delicious cookies for his whole family to share, including the Doggie Doggie.
