I have made a decision. It's going to be a hard one. It will involve changing my M.O.
REALLY- REALLY changing it.
Learning to be happy with a B+ in more areas of my life.
Choosing only the most important things to strive for an A+. Like motherhood, friendships, spouse, spirituality.
I will have to lower my standards in a LOT of areas.
But it will allow me to focus on what is important. I want to exceed the standard in the places that matter.
To start:
I'm not going to pick up the house tonight before I go to bed. Instead, I'm going to go rock my baby girl and tell her "her story."
Tomorrow: I'm not going to clean the house until after Layla has gone to sleep. I'm having anxiety just thinking about it. Sweaty palms, increased heart rate....
"C'mon Sday hold it together! A B+ is not the end of the world.... just remember a B+ in housekeeping means more time to focus your efforts on an A+ in mothering!"
I can do this.... I think.
