I just had to post today. I mean tonight…tomorrow….ummm….this morning.
Anyway….must post.
Had to.
I felt compelled.
Why? Because I think I’m one of those obsessive compulsive work at home moms that feels like it’s ALL got to be DONE!
Yes….
I’m one of those freaks.
I’m trying hard not to be. I mean…..that was one of my new year resolutions….to just kinda “chill” on the home front. But – it’s hard. Very hard.
My husband used to find my need to have ALL the laundry done ALL the time kinda “cute”.
Now….he finds it “scary-weird”. He’ll say…..”Kelly…..there will ALWAYS be more laundry….always…..it’s not a ‘caught-up all the time’ thing…”
Hmmmmmm…..
Nope. NO. No no no…..you’re wrong, Honey.
It     must     be     done.
Which brings me to my post today. (Yes…there is a point.)
I am not the only total nut case that thinks the laundry needs to be caught up at all times.
Am I??
Hello? Anybody?
I certainly know I’m not the only work at home mom that feels like she must get ALL her work done. “If I could just get caught up a little……”
Listen….even with my “laundry habit”…I do realize that there is ALWAYS work to do when you work at home. I know in reality I could work every day, all day for a year…..and there would still be stuff to do.
Hey…wait a minute….I DO work every day of the year….pretty much. And you know what….I never get it all done.
So today….I wave the white flag. Actually I wave a pair of dirty socks. I think they were white at one time?? I will not wash these socks. Nope.
I will leave this pile of clothes sitting here. Because my laundry closet is right outside my office and I have to pass it to go to the bathroom – I will look at it often. It will mock me. It will smell stinky. (I have a teenage son…..boys stink.) But I will keep walkin’.
The same with my “work at home” job.
I will not work til 3am. Nope…..it’s after 1am – and I’m going to bed. I refuse to let my “Yes, I can do it ALL” attitude drag me into another all-nighter like a bar hopping buddy you know shouldn’t hang out with.
You too.
Go to bed.
I know you’re out there.

Sweet Dreams.
