Pardon me. I’m sorry. Opps. Oh gosh! Did that just happen? Should I worry? Do I really care. Whatever. No matter what I do, where I walk in life, one thing remains the same; I am a worrier.
I think too long, let things stew, and let crap bother me that shouldn’t. When it comes right down to it, why should I care what people think? I keep thinking at some point my skin will get thicker, I will suddenly “grow up” or get tired enough of everyone’s crap that I will just stop giving a damn about everyone else’s problems and the world’s thoughts and complaints. But then I don’t. Before I know it I’m back on that rocking chair of worry vacillating between stress and concern and getting nowhere.
So this Monday morning I have decided I have to just “Let It Go!” Well, at least some of it. Here is my list of crap and stress I’m letting go today:
*I will let it go that we repaired the shared fence in the backyard and our neighbours have decided they will NOT be sharing the cost with us. Despite a verbal agreement that they would do so. This does not make for good neighbourly relations.
*My great dane pup has eaten through four different beds. Four, in eight months. That is just rude. Dumb pup. I should put a shaming sigh around his neck, but instead, letting it go.
*I made an AWESOME dinner for my family, and nobody showed up. Hubby got stuck at work, and kiddos got better offers. Sh!t happens. Letting it go, leftovers for the win.
*Garbage day came and went and the raccoons spread our trash all down the street for the entire neighbourhood to see. You know both the wild critters and the neighbours were laughing their asses off at the blonde in heels cursing and cleaning up that midnight garbage buffet. Note to self, buy pails with better fitting lids.
The pool boys left my back gate open, AGAIN, and my pup went on a wild walkabout in the hood. Three cheers for the friendly peeps who live across the street who helped return him. I will let this one go AFTER I talk to those boys again.
My house is a mess. Now and always. Working on letting it go as my new philosophy. The house has a lived in and loved in look but it’s okay, we’re making memories.
Hope you can find a way to let some of your “stuff” go today!
I love the post but we Mom’s are gonna have days that like.
