…you plan to load the dishwasher, run it, empty it, and continually load it throughout the day to keep the sink dish free – and your sink ends up loaded with every dish in the house instead.

…you plan to cook dinner after working hard on a week-long menu, only to have the day not go as planned and end up with fish sticks and french fries all-around.

…you plan to get the laundry done then keep it done as the appropriate baskets get full, but instead the piles on the floor in your bedroom merely grow and migrate to new piles all week long.

…you plan to feed your children nutritious snacks, but once again Cheerios rule.

…you plan to be the perfect mom, but once again you miss the mark.

Really.  It is OK. 

You are not perfect.  You were not meant to be.  It is ok when your perfect plans do not happen, I promise.  Just pat yourself on the back for getting through today one step at a time, ok?
