Weird and unexpected issues of parenting!

Today I came to a crappy realization. I can't clean my house unless I have a sitter to watch Brandon. Do you realize how much this stinks for a neat freak like myself?! By the way, thanks Jenny for helping me out today and Kristy for last week!

Brandon might not be a full fledged walker yet, but wether it's crawling or cruising, little dude gets around! I fear that if I try to clean with him just roaming around, he'll either drink a cleaner or he'll start chewing on the vacuum cord or something insane like that! The possibilities are endless.

So here were my previous options: There was containment. That worked for about 25 min as long as the baby einstein video was playing. And the more mobile he got, the less that worked! :oP Then there was the: "try and do it while he naps." Yeah... that one worked as long as I didn't need to vacuum. Little man is like his daddy: a LIGHT SLEEPER!!! And when do you clean without vacuuming???

So, the solution... BABY-SITTING! Today, my house was a mess and my usual "clean day" sitter, Randy, is in KY, so I called in for help. Praise the Lord, help was available! And now my house is once again clean! AAAaaahhhhh!

Thanks again Jenny! You know that tonight, I will sleep like a baby! Well, as long as baby brandon let's me!
