Tried as much as humanly possible to avoid perfectionism<\/a> this week. It is NOT as easy as it sounds. It was difficult to try to maintain a good attitude about all the stuff that I felt wasn\u2019t getting done. But at the end of this week, I was surprised to realize that my house is just about as clean as it usually is when I am fretting and complaining about all the stuff I\u2019m behind in. So I guess that all that stress isn\u2019t really helping me all that much.<\/div>\n

I started working on my photos again! I sorted through all the pictures from 2008. Yes, you read that correctly. Hopefully I can get this under control before 10 years flies by and I have shoe boxes full of unsorted photo\u2019s. I am not delusional to think that I will be able to scrapbook all these photos, but I would at least like put them in albums.<\/div>\n

I have not shaved my head yet, and that\u2019s got to count as a success somewhere. My hair is driving me crazy. I love it when I can wash it every day, or every other day, but all to often it goes longer than that between washings (um, that\u2019s embarrassing) and then I can\u2019t stand it. Any tips for busy moms who hate \u201cwasting\u201d the few spare minutes they might have in a day standing in the shower? I love feeling nice and refreshed after a shower, but hate all the time and effort it takes to line up some time to get one in. From what I remember it does get easier once your youngest child is able to defend herself from the older ones if they are left alone for a few minutes. I think I might need to get more structured about this kind of thing, no more flying by the seat of my pants.<\/div>\n
