Often as moms we worry about what didn't get done that day, or we feel horrible when our child has a tantrum in the store, and we worry we aren't teaching them enough or raising them well.
I think we should more often apply the theory of lookin at what we did accomplish rather then what we didn't. Child screamed in the store? Well lets be glad you taught them not to swear. Didn't get the dishes done? Well at least they're dirty because you cooked supper.
I think this theory could be life changes when applied properly. Remind your boss of all the days you worked when you weren't supposed to and maybe he won't mind the ones you missed. Sure, you slipped and ate pizza, but you had fruit for a snack!
I have found this successful in helping with my stress, I make a "did that" list to see what I finished that day, and I sure do a lot more then you'd think seeing my to do list. It seems that we put an awful lot of pressure on ourselves when maybe we don't need to. I mean sure, there are things that have to be done on time, but if it doesn't then why get overstressed about it (I know, that probably isn't a word, or isn't a good one anyway, but Internet allows me to subject you to my imagination and I like to invent words). Maybe things really do depend on how you look at them.
Oh no, it occurred to me that reading my rambling a might not make it to your to do list...I hope it turns up on the did that list anyway! :)
