I have decided to put the tree holder on the Worst Job First list after I take a break. Boy oh boy I don't want to do it even though I know it will only take 15 minutes. The house is a superficial mess. I haven't done any dailies yet. Trying to do the holiday stuff all at once made me really cranky.
dh and I tried to open the upstairs windows to take out the hanging wreaths but they are frozen shut. It looks like we will have to wait until the weather warms up a bit.
donations are at the front door for dh tomorrow - Christmas stuff and misc I don't want any more. I had these things on my list last year to donate but I didn't want to rush into it. I still wanted to donate it.
I took the door garland down and the wires are off and greenery are in the compost container for the city.
I love the name of your planner d twins! I have felt exactly the same way. I love omelettes for dinner!
A couple of years ago I made a weird goal of not fearing failure and congratulating myself on the little I did do because dd younger always looks at what she hasn't done; I wanted her to see that you do fall off the wagon on goals but just start again where you left off. I find it gets easier every time I go back. I am no longer so hard on myself regarding that maybe because I don't over goal so much.
I realized my d mom was a huge reason I always thought I failed - my d uncle is the same. (even if d mom constantly didn't finish what she started but was okay with it about herself - dd's and I said we would love to have that self confidence). She notices when I hadn't done something.
My uncle sent me a card and said if you haven't lost the weight by now you never will. Wow
My dad even asked why I didn't try; thinking it was just the fear of failure type thing - I told him I was afraid to fail and afraid to succeed because people would expect me to keep it up at a level I couldn't do plus I totally dislike the attention! D dad couldn't understand being afraid to succeed like that - It was letting others down if I couldn't do it. More a less a trust thing. D dad used to tell me you don't fail yourself - it is all a learning process that continues on - that for him he would only compete against himself to try to learn something. My ddad was a very wise man.
D brother has been really good about it... hey you will fail... its okay to make mistakes. His big thing as is mine is honesty so as long as your honest you are okay. d nancy leftovers sound good to me
d lilac sounds really good! I am the same way about having a lot of food when I have company. So happy your two girls were able to help you with the food. praying for the baby and his parents ((())) also praying for your d friends dh
