It is funny how our priorities change with each child that we have. When I had my first son, I had all of my thank you cards written out for each gift the day after my baby shower. I was so organized and I thought that I was the most perfect mother there had ever been.

Having more children changes that very quickly. We had our third child over four months ago and I still have not sent out the birth announcements. I have good intentions and I have them all in envelopes, but I guess it is too daunting a task to go to the post office and mail them out.

My organizational skills are somewhat nonexistent now. I don’t know where anything is anymore. If I can’t find something, chances are that one of the kids had it and it could be absolutely anywhere. Gone are the days of neatly folded laundry put properly in their drawers still warm from the dryer. We wear them right out of the baskets now.
