You know what they say about all work and no play…. even though I like cleaning and organizing … my list of “To Do’s” seemed like one of those revolving lines of credit… no matter how much effort I expended there was always more "to do" and unfortunately … I have not seen evidence, nor am I convinced that those TV families with a helpful husbands eager to do their share and obedient children who listen and pick up after themselves exist…
So… rather than nagging and fighting with everyone… and feeling justifiably terrible (e.g. they should be helping)... my newest strategy is to hire people to my capacity. Instead of scrutinizing the activities of others…I scrutinized my budget to see what I could afford and than I shopped around for the best prices (well worth the effort) and paid people to do the "delegatable" tasks I wasn’t enjoying or that were for whatever reason stressing me out.
Random thought # 6
Buy yourself some peace of mind. This way when the prince calls to ask you if you want to go to the ball … you can say… Sure!
