I admit it...it might make be sound crazy but I love the chaos of a busy house. Yes, I love my time to relax and unwind. I love my time with my man and I love the family time with just us but there is nothing like the chaos and craziness of a bunch of extra family being around.
This weekend kind of took me back to my old days when my family all got together for holidays. I used to have all my cousins around, aunts in the kitchen cooking up a storm, uncles in front of the TV watching sports and my dad, grandfather and one cousin talking cars in another room. It was always the best kind of chaos. We'd tell stories, laugh and horse around like...well, like family.
If there's one thing in this world that makes me a little sad, it's the fact that my family is all spread out so far away. Even if I was back at home in the Midwest, my family is still scattered. I have cousins in the New England area, cousins in Missouri, Kansas, Florida, and on and on. The family is spread out far and wide and we don't get to get together all that often. I miss the kinship of having all of the family close by but I keep in touch with them and we're actually closer now than we were back when we lived close by.
I guess what I'm getting at in this round and round entry (and believe me, I'm exhausted so I'm kind of out of it anyway) is that as much as the chaos gets crazy and I sit and think, "What the....what" sometimes, I love the chaos of having extra kids around and acting like silly looney tunes. The messy house may suck afterwards but making the mess is awesome. The occasional ahhhhh moments are beat out by the 98% of the time that it's just plain awesome. Maybe I was just made to be a mom or something but I love the chaos of family being together. :)
