Sometimes I Fail

Okay, reality check! Some days I go to bed at the end of the day and feel awesome...like I gave today my all and accomplished everything I wanted. Today was not one of those days. I did get up reasonably early and went to Hattiesburg to do most of the rest of our Christmas shopping....which we accomplished. But then I came home and took a nap. Now, this may not sound like a big deal, but for part of that nap Kaleb was playing by himself. I didn't really go to sleep so much as lay down and rest a while, and I could hear him playing with his trucks, and he came in to see me every now and again, but STILL, I felt horrible! Sometimes I fail. And as I sit here looking at the complete and utter mess of books on the living room floor, I think to myself, "Why did you let him go to bed without cleaning up his mess? Did you even brush his teeth!? Nope." Sometimes I fail. Then I look at the kitchen sink, piled with dishes and wonder why I just spent 2 hours watching episodes of Gilmore Girls instead of washing them. Sometimes I fail. This isn't a pity party, just a day when I realize I could have done a lot more. Tomorrow will be awesome! I will clean the house and wash the dishes. I will wash the clothes and put them up. I will vacuum and sweep the floors. Tomorrow I will NOT take a nap as I have the past 3 days in a row. I will go to the library and check out a book instead of buying one. I will go by Sears and talk to them about a dishwasher (that I should have talked to them about 2 weeks ago). Tomorrow I will not fail. Tomorrow I will win. After all, tomorrow is another day.
