Today I:
…Took three kids to get “back to school” haircuts. (Even if the youngest’s “school” is only School of Hard Knocks/School of Disrupted Naptimes.)
…Packed a picnic lunch to eat at the splash pad for one last splashy summer. (The fact that the park was 2 blocks away from the haircut joint and the spraying water ensured I wouldn’t have to hose them down myself post-lunch shouldn’t count against me in the least.)
…Wrote one email. While holding a squirmy toddler. And the email was probably riddled with typos.
…Didn’t get any “work” work done prior to 1 p.m.
…Refused to get mad at myself about the state of my kitchen.
…Decided to spend the afternoon playing with my kids out back, sans iPhone.
…Made no such promises as to being sans large cup of coffee.
Tonight I will:
…Determine if the world fell apart around me, due to my lack of impossibly high ideals regarding kitchen, laundry, and work output while holding children.
…Try again tomorrow.
