The voices (yes,sometimes there are more than one) in my head tell me to do "this"and be "that". Go, do, clean, shop, wash, fold, wipe, sweep, pick-up, drop-off.....priorities, priorities, priorities. Where am I on that list? Why am I on the bottom or not on the list at all? I let the things I want or like to do go by the wayside, thinking empty laundry baskets, shiny mirrors and clean produce drawers are more important. Occasionally, not as often as I'd like, I realize that I am important too. That it is ok to have fun and if I am not on my to do list, then life can be pretty sad.
This week I did something I've told myself I would do over, and over and over again. Actually for the last six years, ever since we moved into this house I said I would. But I didn't. Lots of excuses were found ..... the kitchen isn't done (this was valid), we need new carpet, I should paint, the house is dirty, the dog needs a bath, everyone is too busy, we need new landscaping. Seriously, I needed to get over my Martha perfectionism. It is a disease.....
So this year I did it. And you know what? I haven't had so much fun in a very, very long time (dates with the Mr. being excluded, b/c he is a fun date).
