Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

A Day Lived Well

October 28, 2022

So, I thought today that everything was going to heck in a handbasket, but it turns out it wasn’t a total loss. Here’s the rundown:
1. Take daughter to work
2. Grab a Starbucks
3. Gas in the car
4. Hit the grocery store for a few things we need
5. Back home and rest on the couch
6. Actually eat something for lunch thanks to daughter #2
7. Pay bills
8. Vacuum downstairs
9. Take son to work
10. Check out holiday sets at Ulta – upon which I see message from son saying he forgot his wallet so…
11. Back home to get wallet and run it to him at work
12. Back home and rest on the couch – decide to pick up dinner
13. Oooh – “Inside Daisy Clover” is on! Watch that after dinner instead of brooding.
14. Feeling empowered now so I unload and reload dishwasher while listening to Diana Krall.
15. Play some Animal Crossing and chat with daughter #1 when she gets home.
16. Get ready for bed, lay out clothes for tomorrow, and decide that today was actually good.
17. Eat a snack and then I’ll be watching an episode of “Upstairs Downstairs” before bed.
Yeah – that’s not a bad day’s work. What I did here was focus on what got done instead of what didn’t and that made a huge difference! If you only focus on the negatives, then it almost cancels out the positives. So, next time you think you didn’t get a lot done – list what you did do (even if it’s only two things) and pat yourself on the back. You’re doing fine.
