lists

Yay! Byron is home with us again after a couple weeks at the Frost family home because of a flea incident.

Met today about The Grounds & The North Woodlands Festival. Gosh. Every single thing we discuss when we meet starts a fire in me. Even the boring stuff like admin & emails. ⠀

I did maybe 700 dishes today. 800? Maybe 1000? It felt like a lot. How can two people make so many dishes? And what will it be like when we have a house full of children? I can see why we had a maid growing up. Help will be necessary if I want to accomplish anything else. ⠀

I was frustrated with myself tonight. Probably because I’m on my period and have all those ~emotions~ but also because I fill my lists with too many things that I can’t necessarily get to all in one day. I’m always so hopeful about what I’ll accomplish. I need to learn how to make more realistic lists for what I can accomplish in a day. I definitely learned from Amanda (@amandanoel___ ) recently— put the basics on the list too. Unloading a dishwasher & eating lunch ARE a part of my day. So I can’t just NOT count them because my lists are already too overwhelming.. Then at least when I look at my lists they’ll be getting things checked off and I won’t be as frustrated at lacking a sense of accomplishment. ⠀

Baby steps. Learning to be soft.
