Of all the things to think about, I have thought about this a lot through out my life. As a Mom, A Wife and a Maker, there are things around the house, that just never seem to get "Done".
I used to get frustrated with my Ex-hubbs because he could not understand why the house wasn't clean, enough for him. Never mind the three entropy with feet machines, AkA children. I dare you to keep a house clean when you have kids, I double dog dare you...o0! The vast pantheon of things that must be done every day to be considered a "good" housefrau are the most frustrating to keep up with, even with help.
Lest you all think I am just here to complain about "Woman's work is never done" well, yeah, kind of. BUT I invite you to, myself included, to think about it in a different way. Maybe.
Yeah, yeah, give me a break, I'm still working on it.
The different way is this, change your expectations.
Stop expecting certain things to be "Done"
Laundry, dishes, dust, sweeping, mopping, cat litter/dog walking, the dreaded vacuum, etc.
They won't ever be "Done"
EVER
Stop expecting it to happen.
Even if you have a housekeeper to come and help, they, will, not, ever, be, "Done"
That's it.
No, really.
That's the sum total of my ground breaking philosophy so far.
Excited?
Yeah, I thought so. me either.
This is why I'm still working on it.
