15 Years In The Making

*****

Perfect is an illusion I'm finally willing to let go of.
I'm very proud of myself. Yesterday I set out to tackle
the laundry and the girls' mess in the playroom (and their
bedrooms). I didn't finish last night, but I jumped right
back into it this morning and I finished :) Well, I
finished cleaning. I'm still working on the laundry. I
don't know what it is about laundry I hate so much, but I
do. I'd rather do anything but laundry. I think it's
because it takes so long. Anyhow. I've decided that I'm
tired of always striving to have things perfect. I can't
ever attain it and it's frustrating trying. So, I'm
willing to accept that sometimes my house
isn't "perfectly" clean and there are times when my
clothes aren't "perfectly" in style. So what? Who cares?
There's more to life than being perfect and I'm good
enough just the way I am. That's a revelation 15 years in
the making... At least.

After spending the day cleaning and doing laundry, getting
out for Lacey's baby shower was a welcomed diversion.
We've only had a few non-work-related functions as a group
since I've worked at VS. Tonight was one of the better
occasions, although there weren't as many people as I
expected to be there. Probably for the best. Rebecca's
apartment isn't all that big.

I don't have much to write about tonight. I'm exhausted.
An added bonus of growing up, is that I'm thankful for the
days there isn't much to write about. That usually means
I'm feeling pretty good :) It's true. I'm feeling pretty
good... Ciao.
