1 yr + 2 mo - 2 days

I learned something very valuable during my 18 years of pain! It doesn't matter if everything is done perfectly.

There. I said it. I used to be a frustrated perfectionist! I wanted everything perfect but never was satisfied that it was perfect.

I'm not saying that I don't care what things look like around here.

I do. I really do.

But, For all those years I couldn't have everything just the way I wanted it I found I could enjoy our company just as much as if I had done everything I thought needed to be done. And sometimes I think even better because I used to be a frazzled mess worrying that I had to have it just so and when it wasn't I'd be so upset.

And as much as I still think of lots I want and need to do I now can say, oh well. Its ok.

Although. Yes. I still think of stuff I want to do and maybe waste time trying to get it done. But I more easily let it roll off my back.

Just saying this because I've got a houseful of company coming. One working bathroom. Scaffolding up the side of the house. A contractors "tent" in my driveway. A huge pile of materials for bathroom on my patio. Demo refuse on porch and trash like you wouldn't believe! Nothing decorated. Leaves in the yard.

And I'm not a bit upset by all that cause we moved back home to be with family. And they WANT to come to our house for EASTER dinner!

This is exactly what I love, being with family.

Having family near enough to stop by and to come for dinner is such a sweet sweet blessing! So what if we're not ready!

But could you all pray that our sewer line doesn't decide to back up again tomorrow? I'm still working on finding a plumber.
