OK...so this is what I have come up with tonight...

I do not care if the house is not completely perfectly clean and picked up.

I do not care if the laundry is piled to the ceiling.

I do not care if their are dishes in the sink.

I do not care if I cannot get EVERYTHING done at once....

Tonight I cooked dinner and then my dh, dd and I went in the hot tub and spent 2 hours soaking.  It was fun, relaxing and a good ole family time.  I really need to stop worrying about all the silly things.  We both work full time, and have limited time as a family.  I think there are far more imporntant things in life to enjoy.  All the other things will get done when they get done!

OK...end of rant!  Have a wonderful night ladies!

    I take my hat off to you taking a 2 year old in a hottub for that long. DS is PT'd and still wouldn't trust him not to pee in the water!

    That is AWESOME! Good for you! Can you post this nightly to remind me not to get down about the fact that my house is a pit? ?Because it's only a pit b/c I'm spending time enjoying my family instead of cleaning! ?

    I love those days when I just let everything go and enjoy.  Not always easy to do, but so worth it.

    MMML - I am sure she peed in the hot tub, but that is what chlorine is for.

    Summer - I have had a very difficult time just letting things go, but I just cannot do it all and worrying about it is hurting everyone.  Soooo....I give up. I am just going to enjoy the simple things and everything else will come in time.....I hope!

    that's so great! It's so important to let go of the things that don't fulfill us and take more joy in the things that do! (I say as I glance over at the pile of dishes in the kitchen. LOL)

    OK, at least I don't feel paranoid anymore. Sorry, that's way beyond my ick factor. Glad you enjoyed though! And I agree...

    "There's really not need to do housework. After a few years it doesn't get any worse." 

    My mum has that on a fridge magnet and I love it.

    Not that I never do it but it definitely isn't a priority.

    I have a magnet on my fridge that says, "A clean house is the sign of a wasted life." ?LOL ?Makes me feel like I'm definitely living life right. ?:-)
