Soo, my Monday hasnt been that great. Stayed up too late last night cleaning like a maniac, which made me wake up late. Which made the kids almost late. Then I go to the dollar store and realize I locked my keys in my van, thankfully they always have a cop on duty at the BP place. And he was so nice. But you know what, even though it was a stressful morning, Im still smiling. Im finally realizing that even though things may not always be PERFECT or happen the way I WANT them to happen, I am so blessed beyond recognition. And that is a wonderful feeling. I have always been a perfectionist, and I usually hurt my loved ones in the process. I need to slow down and remember that one day, my home wont be as full as it is and I wont be running around matching bows and tying shoes and cleaning little sticky hands. I dont want to grow old and regret the fact that I was too busy cleaning and organizing my life while my children were too busy growing up. There is plenty of time for a spotless home when they are gone. Im finally understanding what my ma-ma and my mother have been trying to tell me. Im always so worried about my house and kids being perfect in case somebody stops by. So to anyone who visits and my house is a complete wreck, please dont be so quick to judge. I keep my home clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. Im tired of being a perfectionist. Im tired of always putting myself down because Im not one of those Martha Stewart moms who have the perfect life. Im tired of laying down at night and hating myself because I shouldve done this, or I needed to do that. Say hello to the new me!! Sorry so long, but this is a HUGE breakthrough for me. Its time I stop being perfect and start being happy!! :)
