Organizer vs. Mommy

Each Wednesday evening, I load up my boys (and all of their essentials) and take them to Gigi and Pop's house. I return Thursday afternoon to pick them up, all refreshed from having some time off. I love Thursdays!!!! Sometimes I scrapbook, sometimes I lay in bed, sometimes I nap, sometimes I shop...mainly, I do whatever I want to do.

After I drop the kids of Wednesday night, I return home and quickly take care of any loose ends at the house. I don't want any tasks to be hanging over my head on MY Thursday.

Last night, I had this small little issue as I was picking up the house.

There sat the Lego zoo/forrest/farm from earlier in the day. Big Brother and I worked so hard to create it and to keep Little Brother from destroying it. What to do, what to do??

My organizing side says, "Knock it down, pick it up, return the Legos to the closet, and vaccuum in it's place."

My Mommy side says, "We worked too hard on it, it brought so much joy to Big Brother, and he will be devastated if he comes home and it is gone."

Orgainizing side says, "He won't even remember."

Mommy side wins today. It's probably going to drive me crazy sitting there in the floor all day today and maybe he won't even want to play with it when he gets home, BUT.... he just may and Big Brother and Little Brother are more important then my floors :)
