I reckon it takes about a year to find your groove with a new baby. For about a year you can use the 'new baby' excuse for just about anything you like. I haven't managed to clean the kitchen today "because of the baby". Haven't done much knitting "because of the baby". Just have.not.had.time "because of the baby and all you know..."
After a year though, I just want to be getting my stuff together. I want to actually get it together earlier than that but I can't...you know, because of the baby...
So here I am, a year and a bit beyond the birth of my last baby and it's time. I've put myself on notice. All those annoying odds and ends that need tying up, prepare to be tied! Things that need to be tossed, prepare to make your way to the bin! or to goodwill! or ebay even! Every little thing that thought it got forgotten due to my sometimes all consuming procrastination...know that I am coming for you! I am going to find you and sort you and action you or toss you! (oooh that sounded a bit naughty even...the thought of it all is a touch thrilling). If you are made of yarn and have sat untouched for sometime prepare to be knit or frogged or forever banished to the scrap heap!
It is time...surely it is time.
And you know, if it takes a while...well urm, it's because I have three kids 5 and under ok?

I still use that excuse and my youngest is nearly 5! One day I'll be organised and the house will be tidy.. one day..
oh you make me laugh!
have fun putting everything in order, and don't mind me if I stand under your window waiting patiently for unused yarn to be "tossed" ;)
I don't mind waiting, because I understand...the kids and all
Little man just turned 13....do you think it's unreasonable for me to still be using 'the baby' excuse?

I still use this excuse and I've also just started to trot out the "three kids under 5" line too. But you know, 3 under 5 is a lot of work!!! I need to start organising too though, we'll be moving in a few months and all my yet to be sorted stuff is staring me in the face everytime I enter a bedroom.
ROFL..
You know I used the 'I have three kids under four' at every opportunity for the um... four months that it was true!
