In keeping with the day's theme, I've decided not to worry about:
☺ Changing out of my mommy clothes before taking my daughter to storytime. So what if my shirt doesn't exactly go with my yoga pants? Will the three-year-olds really care? And ditto for my hair. Who cares if it's not styled? At least it's combed.
☺ Making sure the dishes are done before my son goes to school. I have enough to worry about in the morning. I think the dirty cereal bowls can wait, don't you?
☺ The fact that I forgot to put an "RSVP by" date on my son's birthday party invitations. His party is during a school break, so now I'll have an excuse to call the other parents to remind them about the event. Problem solved!
As you go about your day today, remember the great words of Bobby McFerrin: "Don't worry, be happy!"
Lyrics here.
Wishing you a wonderful, stress-free day!
At least you have hair!! LOL! Us balding men wish we had that to worry about :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I think my husband would say he knows exactly what you're talking about!
DeleteSo true about letting the dishes go in the morning; less stressful to take care of them after you get your son off to school. Good thinking too to call parents about RSVP, you'll get more responses that way, LOL, I remember putting RSVP's on the invites and people would not respond but just show up; very frustrating to figure out what to have available (so I got used to planning for the amount I invited :)
ReplyDeleteenjoy your day!Q
betty
I know how frustrating it is when parents don't respond to the RSVP! Last year, we held my son's party at an indoor play park, and we needed to give the people there a headcount two days before, which I did. Then on the day of the party, a mom that I thought was going to be a no-show (she hadn't RSVP'd) came in with her twins. Argh.
Deletethank you for the encouraging post Dana :) my mom always tells me "happiness is a choice" so she taught me how to choose to be happy... let always be happy no matter what :) life is too short :)
ReplyDeleteSo true: happiness is a choice. Thanks for your comment. :)
DeleteThanks Dana for the advisc to just let things go! We need to hear that sometimes. I experienced the "spilled milk" syndrone last week. Everything was happening at once. To top things off, I left the house wear my lime green footies that didn't match anything I was wearing. Like you said the group of kids I was with didn't care about my wardrobe (-:
ReplyDeleteThose kinds of days just feel wrong, don't they? I do think that sometimes letting the little things go is easier said than done. Still, I think it's important that we try.
DeleteHave a great day!
No worries! I didn't get out of my pj's or even put on a bra to go take my hubs to work!! Haha! ;-)

Haha! I can't even tell you how much I love this comment! No worries, indeed. ;)
DeleteYes, not worth worrying about small problems, because life would be impossible. Pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteImpossible is right.
DeleteAbout the picture: they have a lot of nice images at www.rgbstock.com. :)
So true! A positive Monday full off inspiration to all!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! :)
DeleteHappy Monday. ☺
I read about this day on somebody else's blog. I never knew there was such a thing! I love this song!
ReplyDeleteI like the song, too—until it becomes an earworm! ;)
DeleteI don't normally stress out about things unless it's something that happens repeatedly so this day is going to be extra relaxing for me. And I think you're right, what child is going to care about what you wear?
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good day today.

I can be a bit of a worrier; I wish I were more like you. :)
DeleteHappy Monday!
It is hard not to stress about things sometimes. But at this point, I try not to worry and take each day at a time.

Good for you!
DeleteHappy Monday. ☺
Love it! :) I am a firm believer that dishes (and laundry) can wait...the stack of dirty dishes and mountain of laundry tell me I am good at forgetting the small stuff. :) So is my pulled back hair and sweat pants. I think I finally get my act together by noon most days. :) Love your encouraging, thoughtful and fun posts! Have a great day
ReplyDeleteI usually get my act together around five. :)
DeleteHappy Monday!
Fantastic post! I need to be more lax about wearing my mommy clothes too. Not that I make an extra special effort to dress up before I go out. I can't remember the last time I put on make-up, but yeah, the toddlers don't care. And why do I care the opinions of other moms who think the state of my hair has to do with my parenting?
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteThanks, Christine. :)
You should see what my house looks like - you would know immediately that I've learned that lesson after raising 3 children. You'd think with almost grown children around it would get easier with there help (Bwahahaha, it only gets worse!) - learn to just go with the flow. Did you get in your 20 minute walk today by the way?
ReplyDeleteI can see I have a lot to look forward to... ;)
DeleteGah! I forgot about my walk. :(
Right on, Dana! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. :)
DeleteI love that song! :-)
