The Times I Wished I Were an Octopus
So. Yeah.
Two houses worth of clothes are scattered all over my home. In suitcases, in baskets, in the laundry room, on the couch. It’s daunting and honestly, overwhelming.
With all the moving and packing and unpacking and repacking, yesterday, I just...well, I just had a super rough time. Something about an unkempt, unsettled, and clothes-strewn home gives me a measure of anxiety, which in turn, causes sin to rear its ugly head.
Thankfully, while Molly slept...
...my sweet friend and neighbor Mrs. Angela came to my rescue. I still can’t thank her thoughtful heart enough. While she cooked and entertained the kids, I managed to sort through all the laundry, clean out all the out-grown clothes in three kids’ drawers, and refill them with the folded clothes that were overtaking my home. It was exactly the help I needed at just the perfect time. Thank you again, my friend. I am so grateful. And a lot less anxious. And even less snappy - the terror of watching a kid swing their arm through an entire folded pile of laundry, undoing hours of work was finally subdued. Also, the enchiladas were uhm, BOMB. I feel like I have to add the “dot com” part.

I’ve gone delusional. It’s absolutely definitely positively no doubt about it, the end of season. Thank you for reaching out and filling a need, Angela. Such a blessing.
