Nothing goes as planned.
I knew that, but I didn't really know that! :)
What is deceiving is that sometimes things go as planned and you get your hopes up that maybe you have turned a corner with your kids and you can guess how things will turn out.
WRONG!
Sometimes things go as planned, and sometimes you plan on things going wrong and that's usually how they "go as planned."
I don't mind that I make lists and don't get it all done. When I was working, Saturdays were my days to do laundry, clean the house, and do my errands. I felt as if I needed to get it all done in one day.
But I don't need to now. I can take all week to do laundry, doing one or two loads a day. I can sweep one day, dust the next. I can run to the store one day and then to the post office the next day. I do have goals for each day, but I have learned to keep the goals small and manageable. If I get everything done on my list - Praise God! If I don't, Praise God I survived the day anyway!
I have little ones. Reality is that. I will not always have little ones, so I am not going to spend my days stressing over the dishes. I am going to laugh over the silliness, like my 3-year-old wearing his blanket as a cape and running around saying "Superman to the rescue!"
Daily Goals that I do have (by the time my husband gets home):
Toys straightened up
Bed made.
Dinner in the works.
Most of the time, I am just winging it - only, don't tell my boys!
