Thinking About the Toilet Too Much

It has occurred to me that as wives and mothers, we typically have the thought to ourselves, mostly quiet, but occasionally out loud…”Geez, I need to clean the toilet!”

Now, I know some of you are thinking, “Not me! I clean every Saturday!” And others may be thinking, “My cleaning lady does that!” Very nice.

Yes, well I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to those, who are barely making it through the day that is filled with diapers, fighting through getting a child dressed, being late to everything, screaming, “Go, brush your teeth!” You make it to bed every night by a single stitch. You know who you are… this is for you.

I seriously want you to count how many timesthe thought, “ I need to clean the toilet!” goes through your head every day. You probably never noticed, but I bet the number is significant. 

If you have found yourself thinking…”Wow! That is true! I do think about that pretty frequently! I never knew!” Then, I am here to encourage you! There is help coming! Keep hope! The solution is just a sheer moment away! 

The diapers will go. The children will dress themselves. They will learn to drive. They, most likely, will even volunteer to brush their own teeth without you asking, and then they will be gone. 

The thought, “I need to clean the toilet!” will not go. It will stay. You will think it. And then. And then. You will go clean it.

Have a blessed day mamas. I’ll be thinking about you!
