Let It Go

This week, I...

Mis-remembered a school half-day, so sent my son with no lunch to eat and sent my sitter to a bus stop with no bus to meet.

Did laundry at 6am to avoid the crowd and get the big washers, only to find that other people also use big washers at 6am.

Served dinner practically at bedtime more than once.

Wore a few outfits that probably embarrassed my teenage daughters.

Left work some days very satisfied, and others, well, not.

Didn't do nearly the number of things I was supposed to do at home before and after work.

Didn't solve the crowded closet issue or the how to get everyone everywhere issue or the how to keep the pile of incoming mail off the dinner table issue.

I could hold on to all of it, allow all of the "undone" and the "messed up" and the "seriously?!" to take over. But I would like to think that in among the mistakes, there are a few successes too. I can try to remember better, plan better, solve better. But for now, I think I'll just let it go.
