There are many times I feel inadequate. One time I went to a class birthday party for my youngest. I was supposed to bring ice cream. That was easy, all I had to do was purchase it and show up. Someone else had been assigned fruit. She brought 26 beautiful plastic cups of fruit, each one covered in plastic wrap, and served with a decorative toothpick. The lovely fruit salad included cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. Now if I had been assigned fruit I probably would have just cut up the fruit in one big bowl and then served it. But now that I have seen what one mom did, It made me see the possibilities. What am I getting at here? Sometimes when I see what other people do, and what they take the time to do, I feel guilty that I don't do those things.
What should I have done today? I decided I had to do something productive around the house, so I dusted the living room and threw out stuff that didn't belong in there. I don't dust all that much, although it's on the list of flylady tasks, I just never seem to do it-that should be one of my new habits, it really doesn't take that long. I am confounded still by paper and magazines. Last year I didn't get magazines at all and I missed them. Then I subscribed again and now I have too many. DH has too many Sports Illustrated magazines (they come every week) and maybe I should just pack them up and put them in his work bag. What about flyers from the grocery store. I mean what does the normal person do with these things. Just where are they supposed to sit for the week that you might need them? Really, I want to know.
