I received this quote in my parenting email today.....a good reminder especially on a day when I was despairing over my messy house.

No one on her deathbed ever wished she had spent more time cleaning, and no one on her deathbed ever regretted spending too much time with her children.

It's an excerpt from 25 Things Every Mother Should Know  by Martha and Bill Sears.

So true, isn't it? Since the birth of our 4th four weeks ago, I've often despaired at our messy house, even though we're constantly cleaning, it seems! It is just a fine line to walk sometimes, I think. I've found myself saying, "Just a minute, honey," to my girls too much lately, I think!

Also, I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma--I know that it's difficult to lose a grandparent.
