I start the day, full of coffee and hope, ready to use my manifold talents to bless the world.
But where to start?
But where to start?
I could bless my children with books, thoughtful questions, and intellectual stimulation.
I could teach them to look outside our home with kindness, and we could bake cookies for a neighbor.
We could go to the museum.
We could schedule a play date.
We could create art with leaves and acorns.

Or, I could undo some of the damage they have done in my home.
Like this:
A bottle brush tangled in the mini blinds.
Really? Seriously? How does this stuff happen? (among other unhelpful thoughts I think at a time like this.)
Again, I am reminded, that I am not really in charge of the day's activities.
I rebel. It has been there for two days. Nobody cares.
But I must take care of it sometime, at least before we host the Christmas party.

I feel like we share a brain (and possibly related offspring) frighteningly often. I can't even tell you how reassuring it is to see that I am not alone.
ReplyDeleteHey, if we're gonna go crazy, we might as well do it together! :)
ReplyDeleteOne of those times again when I think you can see inside my mind (and home). Exactly my challenge today
ReplyDeleteI think someone was trying to help you clean the blinds :)
ReplyDeleteHa. I just saw this post. And the bottle brush in the mini blind is making me feel deja vu-ish, although I can't quite pin down the exact reason.
ReplyDeleteOh how often this stuff happens. And I can't help but rebel- THAT was not on my list today! I am NOT taking care of that right now, thank you very much!!!
ReplyDeleteBut nobody notices my rebellion. Oh well. It's the principle of the thing.
