Life as I know it consists of a wonderful husband, one college daughter and one teenage daughter. This life is full of fun, laughs, smiles and more blessings that I could have ever imagined. Our life resides in Rhome, Texas and we attend church in Paradise, Texas. Work with me here...I live in Rhome and go to church in Paradise. I couldn't make this up if I tried.
I love to journal, doodle and create. I blog about all things technology in education for my job, but I never take the time to blog about my life. So, in my 48th year, I thought I would share about life lessons I continue to learn each and every day. Raising daughters will teach one a lot, and it has been an incredible journey for me thus far.
Today's lesson: Don't be consumed with having a tidy house. Live life and enjoy it. Today my daughter had two friends over to spend the night. I was so worried that I had laundry in the living room, dishes in the sink, and mail all over the table that I was working myself up into a frenzy to try it all cleaned before they came over. (By the way, I didn't get it cleaned up.) The girls were in my daughter's room laughing and giggling as I cleaned the kitchen. Standing there, I thought, "why am I stressing myself out?" The reality was that the girls were having a great time together not concerned one bit about the messy kitchen. They were enjoying each other. They were telling stories, watching television and having themselves a grand time...all while I slaved over the dishes. Don't get me wrong; the kitchen needed to be cleaned, but what didn't need to happen was me worry myself as to if the kitchen was cleaned before the girls arrived. I am pretty sure they never left my daughter's room to see the kitchen.
So moms around the globe, don't panic if your house isn't spotless the next time guests arrive. Chances are they will think you are normal like them.
