It doesn’t bother me when I accomplish nothing. What bothers me is that I feel like I should be a good example to my blog readers and I am so not a good example! But, even on the days I say I accomplished nothing . . I did accomplish things . . just not what I thought I would accomplish.
This morning I told Vince . . all I’m going to do today is smoke the salmon and then I’m done – cross stitching the rest of the day. In the back of my mind, I wondered if I’d get the Bad Wife Award if I served salmon, cream cheese, and crackers .. that’s enough, right?
As far as housework, I vacuumed the living room and our bedroom. Those are the only two carpeted rooms that get much use. There was a stack (a big stack) of boxes piled up in front of the door to the safe room. Every time I pass by those, I think . . I’m going to move them some day before the trash man comes. He comes tomorrow so I started hauling boxes upstairs. I think I made four trips and Vince said “It would be easier if I carried them out the downstairs door and walked around the house with them.” Well, thanks! I only had one more load to bring up! Other than cooking and washing dishes, that’s all I’ve done in the house.
Then the waffle maker thing arrived, which I still haven’t used but I’m going to before this day is over.
So, I haven’t taken the first stitch yet. I will but . . I had planned to have several hours of stitching done by now.

You’re a real life example and that’s awesome! Things happen and we have to adapt, despite our best intentions.

You are the perfect example of you and that is more than enough. If someone wants to knock that then tell them to eat a bug. I think you get a lot done every day, but them I’m always impressed by people who cook, because that is not my thing. I think we are always hardest on ourselves.

You get more done on an “accomplish nothing day” than my accomplish nothing days! lol Seriously though, you don’t need to be worrying about being a “good” example to us…not even sure what that is…lol

I think on the days I don’t have a plan, I don’t even notice how little I get done but on the days I have a plan and get very little of it done, I feel like a slug.
