An almost perfect day
Yesterday was a good reminder why I am still less-than-perfect. I was on a roll! I woke up early, made sure my husband had a lunch and coffee before he left for work, made myself tea and breakfast, blogged and got other internet things out of the way, and had muffins in the oven when the kids woke up. I cleaned, did laundry, took out the garbage, put away the Christmas decorations, and mailed a package. I washed dishes, chatted with a friend, built block towers with my sons, and tidied the play room. I did school with #1 son - reading and writing, and even an art project (we talked about sculptures and made one out of home-made playdough). I even made dinner in the slowcooker and baked fresh crusty Italian bread! DH was home on time, the boys were in bed on time, and I had an hour of reading by myself before bed.
I felt like the perfect mother, wife, and housewife!
Then I woke up at 9am this morning when my boys woke up, and didn’t get out of my pjs or get breakfast made until an hour ago. 
I’ve been on the computer all morning, there’s a bill payment problem I have to figure out, and we’re short on groceries so lunch will have to be leftovers and I have no idea what to do about dinner. The baby is ripping apart a library book and the house is a mess. The sink is full of dishes from last night’s dinner that I meant to do early this morning!
At least days like today keep me humble. 
And less than perfect.
