Cleaning And Baby Sitting

I got home late last night about midnight from baby sitting little Ashtyn.  She is so

adorable.  She loves to dress up as a princess. She has her mother's wedding veil on.  She gathered up these silk flowers and put this dress on herself.  She was prancing around so cute.

She kept me busy.  She was really good for me.  We ventured out to the $ store and Walmart yesterday. That was an adventure for me.  Ashtyn wants everything in the store.  She was so fun to watch her little eyes light up from everything she was.  She pick out two little ponies and a sparkle pony art picture to color with attached markers.  She was wild at Walmart there was even more things to see.  I told her we couldn't buy anything -but we would just look.  I had to go slow and let her look at all the toys, pretty shoes and bows.  We bought some apple juice with plastic pony heads-on top. That was her treat.  I worked hard cleaning Shannon’s laundry room and her bedroom on Wednesday.  Sorting her piles of stuff-  she is so unorganized and things were very dusty.  I managed to get that done and tidy the family room area on Thursday and get rid of clutter.  It looked much cleaner.  There is just so much that needs to be done-housework and a family is a full time job-  I was up early by 7:30am and worked till 10:30 pm each day.  My back was aching I could hardly move by the end of the day.  I wasn’t feeling real well yesterday.  I felt achy all over like I’m fighting something.  I had to take some Advil to get through the day.   I could spend two weeks at Shannon’s working nonstop to get her home in order.  She needs to tackle her storage rooms and garage- she has stuff piled everywhere and things piled since they moved there 5 years ago and still piled up. She has not hung one picture on the walls in that time being. I finally hung a few pictures for her to make things look better.  Most of the decor things are from our old home.  It has added a lot to their home if she would just take care of things.  The boys are so hard on things.  There house is looking beat from the wear and tear of family living-  the walls need to be touched up and painted.  Lots of work needs to be done and I know Shannon just  can’t seem to get it done.  Her health is doing so much better- she just has a hard time staying on task.  She does sleep more which limits your working time.  Bless her heart she does try.  Little Ashtyn has been a huge blessing for the entire family.  Each morning we sat outside while she jumped on their trampoline.  The air has been so thick with smoke from fires burning-  we could taste the smoke in the air.  The entire west has struggled with fires.  The worst in the history of our county in over 200 years.  It is the signs of the last days as prophesied for our time.  Lots of natural disasters-  it felt good to sleep in my own bed last night.  I’m really tired today and just going to rest from all my hard work.  I did enjoy spending time with the Chaudhry grandkids.  The boys were all busy with their schedules in and out for work and school.  Ashtyn was a full time job to care for her.
