Just let life happen

After being off for 2 days and mainly working online while I was home, I left the house in a hot mess. Tile saw on the floor, clothes on the couch, boxes here and there. I mean mid construction in every corner of this house. Looking back I didn’t want to walk out like this. I didn’t want my kiddo to come home to a sink full of dirty dishes and nowhere to sit and grab a snack. Even the island was cluttered with my paperwork, computer and no telling what else. It bothered me all day at work. 4 hours later I have myself convinced that my baby girl knows how hard her mom works and if nothing else comes from today, she has learned over her lifetime that if you work hard at something, you eventually will be rewarded. We have to learn to give ourselves a break. Let life happen and not try to build something that we are not. The life that is happening everyday is the life your kids will look back on as the best days of their lives. I've previously done this 3 times. She is number 4. I know how this will play out. I'm going to let life happen today.
