Grateful

The week started off and everything was organized and ready to go. I was on top of my game, maybe channeling a little “This Girl is on Fire” … had a little swing in my step. Kids/school/activites … check. Work … check. Cooking dinner … check. Laundry … check. I felt great about my workload and client schedule. Even though the kids had a ton of activities, there was a plan and I was confident it was going to work.

We had an unexpected funeral mid-week and then things never really got back on track. It’s a domino effect. One thing shifts and it sets off a chain reaction. It usually leads to evening and weekend hours, little sleep and an abundance of diet soda.

Our Christmas decorations are still up. I was pulled over for driving with expired plates. October. Are you kidding me? Who does that?? Apparently me. I was so nervous I couldn’t even find my insurance card. That’s not good either. It’s probably worse when you tell the officer it’s at home and he’s welcome to stop by. Nervous word vomit. Gets me every time, but I did only get one ticket instead of two.

Our house isn’t clean, we need groceries, we now have overnight guests staying this weekend, a surprise 40th party and a 92nd birthday celebration for my grandma. I’m embracing the crazy, getting caught up and for all of this … I’m grateful. I’ve been inspired by this project and you can see what I’ve come up with here. Let me know if you join in! Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
