There's Always Dig Out Monday

Kim was recently chatting with some friends stressed about the challenges of keeping a clean house with young children, particularly on the weekend.  Kim, a bit of a perfectionist who also used to get anxious about this remarked, “Don’t worry about it ladies.  If you have kids and your house is perfectly clean, you’re doing something wrong.”  While I get that this is probably not true in every circumstance, I do get her point.  Why not let go of the need to be the perfect supermom, do it all, and have a spotless house?  Wouldn’t you much rather simplify your life, focusing your precious time on the few absolute most important matters in your life, like playing, teaching, and being fully present with your loved ones?  If you don’t think so now, I promise you will one day.  “What’s that Isaac?  Time for the Hot Lava game?  Daddy and Mommy have so much to do”.  On second thought, sounds great.  I hear Kim behind me, “I always have dig out Monday.”  Thanks babe.
