The week between Christmas and new years was a week that we haven't had for a while. We didn't eat one meal at home, not a piece of clothing was washed or if it had been then it wasn't folded nor taken out of the suitcase from the trip prior. I had two boys going to daycare while dropping another off at the YMCA and working a crazy 34 hrs in 3 and a half days. If u know me, you would know that I like routine and schedules....it was crazy. It was only to be followed by another marathon weekend of more family Christmas celebrations. I was so overwhelmed by everything I couldn't get my typical giddy self ready for making great memories w my family.
It is weeks like this one that a person is reminded of the simple things that make me feel like I served my family well. Like the sound of a running dishwasher. This sound means I have a counter clean of dishes. It means I have dirty dishes in which my family I spent getting dirty together, listening to stories of what transpired that day. I was able to be organized enough to cook a meal for my family. Lastly, I know my day the next day will start off just as good as it ended because I have a clean sink to get dirty again. It is crazy how something like the sound of a dishwasher can bring a person a sense of accomplishment. What is your sound?
I will be listening for a new sound tomorrow. Will you? I have found if I listen for sounds then that time isn't spent complaining about the chores involved in the sound I am missing. How is this for deep thoughts? I love having my blog at my fingertips.
