Well, I finally got one thing accomplished today that I have been meaning to do for weeks! I just can't get everything done when my youngest son does not like taking naps. As we speak he is upstairs screaming in his crib as I finished cleaning out the family vehicle (truck). Its crazy how gross and disgusting your vehicle can get when you allow your kids to eat in the family car. My oldest son has fun dropping his snacks once he's done eating them. Funny thing is, is that when he falls asleep holding a snack he will never let go of it until we pull it out of his hands. Crazy?? Anyway, after animal crackers, pepperidge farm gold fish crackers, popcorn and many other little crumbs have now been vacumned and cleaned out of my car. I know for most of you this is disgusting and have no idea how I have let it get this bad.
Well, when you get home from a destination and your kids are both sleeping in their car seats your first priority is to get them out of the car and in their beds. Once the kids are tucked away and in their beds you just fall exhausted in the couch and have no desire to get up and clean up the mess leftover from the trip. I have tried to get out to the garage and clean up these messes for weeks now but when you have a 8 month old baby clinging to you its hard to accomplish much. Its a huge weight lifted off my shoulders now seeing how organized, clean and replenished vehicle that we know and love.
I am going to try to make it a top and high priority to make sure I clean out our vehicle at least once a week. This will allow me to feel prepared and organized for our many family excursions. Plus, it leaves less for me to do all at once if I do it more frequently. This rings true of any household or domestic duty around my house.
I am hoping that I'm not the only parent out there that needs to clean her family vehicle out more often. I'm hoping that since we're still early into 2010 that I can be consistent in attempting to keep my above goal accomplished. If you are good at cleaning out your car frequently I applaud your efforts and could probably learn a lot from you. However, if you are like me and struggle with getting back out to the vehicle once inside the home maybe we both can pursue this new year with a determination to live more organized and prepared!!
Either way, my car is clean and I'm happy.
Now off to get my crying baby boy from what I was hoping would be a nice long nap.
