Survival Skills



So I've printed out all of these organizational planner pages... and now I have to laugh.

Two pages per day, and yes, I could fill them up with all of the things I should accomplish (and then get to the end of the day and feel like crap because I barely got through two or three of them)...

Here they are in case they would help instead of intimidate you:

When I was pregnant with the Little Miss, I wrote out a schedule, a daily/weekly/monthly housekeeping schedule that I thought was reasonable (you know, since I'd JUST be at home with the baby... insert insane laughter...) I came across that list in a journal just about a month or so ago, and really had to laugh at my delusional self. Of course, I had no idea what kind of ride I was in for with Little Miss, but I have to believe I had set my standards unrealistically high for myself.

Especially when you consider I would rather have a cavity filled than clean a bathroom.

So here I sit, busy week ahead and an 18-page stack of planner pages for the week.

I could fill these boxes with a thousand things.

Do you know the only thing that comes to mind to write down right now?

Survive.
