Now back to the topic at hand, “Consistency”. I was just thinking about my busy hectic life with my family and business and came to the realization, at least for ME that is, lots of what I find difficult in my day to day routine is just that, I don’t have a routine…I TRY to, but each day presents to me new issues and challenges, whether it be a sick kid, a toddler who is having meltdown after meltdown, extreme heat, etc. I feel that I have to adapt to each and every day as its own separate entity. Does anyone else out there feel the same way? I would love to hear your responses.
Most of my friends think I am neat and organized, but I feel the complete opposite. I WISH I could keep my house neat all the time, the way I like it and feel better about, but with three kids and no housekeeper, just good ol’ moi, it can’t always get tidied up as nicely as I would like it to be. I have also realized that I come up with often very good ideas to keep my children on their toes and behaving in appropriate manners by having “charts”. THE INFAMOUS CHARTS! Well, let me tell you, over the years, I have had several different kinds and they all start off great, but then about the second or third week or if I am extremely lucky, the end of the first month, it sort of gets pushed aside and forgotten about. I know that children thrive with DISCIPLINE and C O N S I S T E N C Y, but I often find it so tough!!!!
Why can I not always carry out my plan? I do try…but it is like I run out of steam…am I beating myself up too much or am I doing okay? I know I am a bit hard on myself, but I HATE when I go to bed with dishes in the sink, for a while I was being really good, cleaning the dishes right away, etc. and even keeping the counter tops free of boxes of snacks, kids trinkets, coupons and other miscellaneous papers, but somehow, they creep back up on me so quickly. Why is that?
Anyway, I do believe in my heart that if I was always consistent with everything, my life would run much smoother, but would I really be happier? I think that I would, but I am not so sure. It does not leave too much room for spontaneity or excitement, right? Come on, back me up on this one, fans!
Please leave your comments, ideas or suggestions, I would SO appreciate to hear them. Thanks for reading my blog.
