You Can Always Clean A Mess

Saturday mornings are a double-edged sword.

It’s the time when the kids can play, but also when there’s time to get stuff done around the house.

Specifically, clean up from the week.

And this problem is further compounded as the kids make an even bigger mess in their rush to play with everything they have, but also demand attention for someone to play with them… or at least show them what they’re working on.

I often fight with this tension of how I want to use that time, but lately, I’ve felt the last two years have taught me an important lesson:

You can always clean a mess, but you can never get time back.

If the floor is a bit dusty, but the weather is nice—I’m taking them for a bike ride.
