A perfectionist moms note to herself


there will always be dishes that need washing, if not washing then putting away, if not putting away then to-serve-food-in, clothes that need to be washed, or ironed, or folded, or sorted, food that needs ingredients to be bought, cut, chop, cook, serve, leftover to be put away in fridge, planning to be done for the next day and the day after that, rooms that need to be tidied up n broomed n windows to be wiped spotless, new clothes that need to be bought, new furniture n decoration pieces u just have to buy, parties to go to and people to meet, office work that needs to be done, deadlines that must be met, but in all this madness n mayhem, dont forget to steal away moments of love and laughter with your kids and loved ones.....
consciously, put aside the chores and run out to play hide and seek, sit back and read a book, cuddle up and crack jokes.....for there will always be something that needs to be done, but this time too wont come again....
(sharing because I know many mothers feel the same but many dont voice it out maybe because they feel bad about not being able to handle what seems like a piece of cake for others, although those others might be going through the same drill:) and sometimes it gets to you and drives you nuts:)but its good to remind ones self about whats really important and what can wait for there will always be something that needs to be done as long as we live n that too is a blessing...
