Sometimes I wonder why I plan anything, as my day gets blown out of the water. But in trying to turn over a new leaf (not be so busy) I decided when things go awry I just need to prioritize and not get everything done I had planned.
Yesterday, I had planned to get all the ironing done, also the laundry, and then sew and work in the yard for a couple of hours and I also needed to get at least and hour into piano practice I wanted to make a nice dinner of chicken and veggies and salad. SO my day begins and I am happy about my plan. I get the laundry done and the ironing started, I get a phone call and the new studio owner has a very sick baby. So I need to go down and take care of 4 classes. This interrupts my day and takes away 3 hours of my time. Now Kim before would have gone into overdrive and completed all her tasks. Or at least done a smattering of all of them.
I just told myself no. Prioritize. Do what has to be done. So I completed ironing the pile of pillow cases and napkins and put Hubs and my shirts back in the basket. I checked the fridge and we still had pizza from Saturday and some rice and red beans left so there was dinner for Hubs. I started sewing my quota for the day and stopped at a certain time and put in a good practice. I skipped the yard work. The yard will be there, it will always be there. I taught dance, ran to Joanns for zippers and came home and completed my sewing list. I was not rushing, I was not frantic. I just was. The shop was very busy yesterday with many customers dropping off.
Today we have the littles and I am so happy to have the sewing in hand so I don't have to worry about it. I can just enjoy the babies and I might even get in a nap. Right now I am going to trust Hubby for a few minutes and go vote.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
Good job on just going with the flow, but, I have to ask, how in the world did you fit your hubs in the basket? It must have been a big basket!
ReplyDeleteHe is very flexible and it is a large basket>:)
DeleteAnd, see, the world did not collapse. God did not judge you. I love a good list, but sometimes we all put too much on a list. Actually, I like a good full list and from there I can pick and choose what needs to be done and what can wait for a while.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know quit nagging sheesh...... :)
DeleteI was not nagging, just commiserating with you and congratulating you.
DeleteGood for you for not stressing and for allowing the day to play out as it will.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but my company is coming in two days and my stress is building. Can you feel it?
