Sometimes I listen to the lie that my only usefulness is to clean up messes. Then I feel defeated when I look at all that I haven’t gotten around to yet or guilty when I sit down to relax when the kids are asleep. I have to accept that messes are a way of life with young children and the cleaning will never be done. But sometimes the clutter makes me smile especially when it so clearly says, “Desmond was here!” He was entertaining Kaylynn with all five of his beloved snugglies.
