Every once in awhile I find myself stressing about the things I didn’t get accomplished. All of the things that I wanted to get done and didn’t. Kicking myself for sitting down and watching tv instead of cleaning off the dining room table etc. It’s one of those things that can rotate through my mind and just make me depressed. It sucks.
So last night, as I started in that downward spiral I thought “no, I’m going to think about the positive things” (although I didn’t really think it in those words). But, here’s my list for yesterday.
- I got up in the morning and made my bed
- Got the kids up and fed
- Didn’t argue with them
- Had them pick up 5 things in their room to put away (and they did it!)
- Got them off to school and myself off to work
- Went for a 45 minute walk at lunch
- Ate a healthy lunch (chicken breast and brown rice – which wasn’t actually that bad)
- Made homemade pizza for dinner (from scratch pizza dough, sauce and all)
- sat down and watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica
- Went to bed at a normal time and actually fell asleep
All in all, I did a lot of good things yesterday. Just because I didn’t clean off the dining room table, doesn’t negate all the good that I did.
