Daily Accomplishments!

Most of the time, when I look at my house, I cringe.  Then I think, "what would my house look like if my kids were little robots I could program to never leave things laying around, always keep their toys in the designated toy boxes I so lovingly bought and organized for them, flush the toilet after every use without stuffing it full of wasted balls of toilet paper and actually feed the fish/dog/cat pets they promised they would care for all by themselves?".  Well.  Robots they are not.

My house is almost always an atrocious mess.  15 years ago, I would have walked into my house and condemned the owner as a lazy and slothful woman who needs to appreciate what she has and take care of it a little better.  Besides, it could all be taken from her tomorrow.  I'd bet that woman even yells at her poor, little, innocent progeny.  For shame.

Welp.  I'm not lazy.  I do occasionally yell at my progeny.  And yes, it could all be taken away tomorrow.  But if God does choose to take it all away, I hope he takes the mountain of dirty laundry first.

But I digress.

I did successfully exchange all winter clothes for summer clothing in my children's closet today.  It was an overwhelming task.  But I did it.  And finished.  And I managed to clean a toilet and wipe down the bathroom and kitchen counters, too.  But.....I did forget all about sweet Molly's trip to the farm today.....the one where you are supposed to send a complete set of extra clothes, shoes, a box of kleenex for her allergy induced, faucet of green snot constantly oozing from her nose.  Oh, and a lunch.  Woops.  Luckilly, her school is right in front of Harris Teeter.  A loaf of bread, a stick of salami and a box of raisins later.....the kid has a lunch.

Maybe today did have it accomplishments.  Maybe todays accomplishments look differently than tomorrows accomplishments or the next days....or the next.  And if I am hormonal?  Well, then....getting out of bed and showing up is a valid accomplishment of it's own.

And that is okay.

Oh, and did I mention that I'm trying AGAIN to stop drinking coffee?  But that's an whole other blog post!
