Let me explain...

My house is in a perpetual state of disarray. The bathrooms need to be cleaned, the floors mopped, and let's just ignore the dust on the dresser. Two boys live here with all their toys and they play. A lot.

My hair is braided to the side every day but Sunday. (It only gets washed every once and a while.)

I wear absolutely no makeup unless it is Sunday (again) or going to a doctor.

I sometimes have a hard time remembering things such as getting food out of the freezer for supper or what we need from the grocery store.

These are just a few examples.

Now let me explain myself....
 
I signed up to earn a master's degree this year and started my first term at the end of June. I signed up for three classes so I can be finished by next May (yay me!). Normally you aren't allowed to take more than two at a time. 

Since then I struggle to get the dishes washed and clothes washed and dried (much less folded). I have stayed up every night since then until at least 11:00 and quite a few nights have been 1:30-2:00. 

I refuse to ask for help because that is who I am.  I don't feel like I need help and don't really want it to be honest. I just want you to understand. Don't take pity. Just understand. Understand that while my house is messy I just can't do it all right now. I want my boys with me while we are out for summer so while they take a nap and when they go to bed I work on my school work. I try to check my email I'm the morning but sometimes that just has to wait too. I feel guilty even doing that while they are awake. I love having my boys with me! But please understand. Don't judge me right now. If you do come stop by and notice the overflowing sink, the toys EVERYHWERE or a messy haired mommy like myself just look over it please. That is how it is going to be for a little while. :)
