at 6:00 am this morning, it dawned on me. I’m a middle aged woman, out of shape, trying to get through each day without really living. Today will be different.
Once again, I went to sleep with no dishes in the sink and my house ‘organized.’ Once again, I awoke to dishes in the sink and stuff everywhere. Explain to me why I put everything way before bed only to wake up to do it again! My husband works nights and I swear just uses every dish and glass in the cabinets and just leaves them in the sink. Guess what? No more! They are his to clean!
It dawned on me that I have a family of clothes horses living somewhere in my house. When all the laundry is done, they come out at night a leave piles of laundry in the laundry room for me when I awake. I must set a trap.
It dawned on me, that I’m very lucky. Through all my complaining and moaning, I HAVE a job, two healthy children and a husband that is more amusing than some cable shows, and he’s unscripted, both parents still alive and relatively healthy and I’m able to pay my bills (sometimes a little late - but nonetheless they get paid).
It dawned on me that I shouldn’t worry about the dishes, laundry or the zillion of other things that drive me crazy—I should just enjoy the fact that I’m here and fabulous at 40!
Denise, amazing why to start my day! I too, feel as though there is some kind of bad fairy that lurks in my house after I go to sleep at night. I am unconditionedly bored with the same scene every morning.
On the other hand, I would be just as bored if not more if I didn’t have these things to look forward to every morning.
Thanks for reminding me that finding the positive instead of the negatives is what being truly grateful is all about.
That’s a very good way to look at things. Your husband should also realize how lucky HE is and put his darn dishes away for you!! :)
It dawned on me that I missed this post. You are fabulous at fabulously40.

Fabulous post! It bares repeating to be thankful for EVEN
our duties when they are brought on by loved ones. Your loved ones are with you creating memories and joy as well
Life can be so very short.
i agree with Della on this!
life is too short to worry about things.. i too would love to get home from work, and not have clothing everywhere, and dishes in the sink.. i do not have a husband or boyfriend.. for me its just children..
i know how you feel because im going through it too.. however i am just living life one day at a time now!
