Welcome to our crazy home

It's not all put away and organized, never all clean at the same time. It's like this constantly in motion, changing, active house. Things don't stay in place long. It's usually loud. Filled with loud voices, laughing, screaming, crying, playing. I sort of had a lightbulb moment a few weeks ago which  has really made me change my expectations and handle the chaos better. I realized that with three young children, most people's crazy is our normal. The other thing is that someone is going to need something pretty much all the time. If I'm ready for that and expect that state of crazy and being ready for it all when I wake up in the morning, I'm better able to handle it without getting upset or overwhelmed. I remind myself throughout the day that our normal is going to be crazy and to expect to be needed all the time.
