In project 2, the challenge is to make a "to-don't list" to free up more time as I do the Me Project.
I had actually started one of these thanks to the suggestion of a newspaper columnist. I had decided I wouldn't expect perfection from myself
There were 6 lines on the page for this, specific to the Me Project, so here they are:
1. Feel bad about how much TV my kids watch. I know many wonderful moms who leave the TV as ambient noise and their kids are fantastic. Personally, I don't like having a TV on and not watching it. The noise grates on my nerves. But it's OK if they watch a good show. Time to let that guilt go.
2. Simplify breakfast. We regularly eat eggs and waffles with a fruit at the end. Nice, but it takes a lot of time. It's OK to let them have cereal sometimes.
3. Let play-doh colors mix. Life really will go on if they do.
4. Let the chores wait. I'm funny about the DW. I don't like it to store clean dishes. They need to be put away. It's OK if they wait a bit.
5. Not rearrange the dirty dishes in the DW after husband puts them in. If they don't get clean, there will be another washing soon.
6. Be inflexible with mealtime prayer. I expect the boys to sit like little soldiers while we bless the meal and then they can eat. Unfortunately, I live with savages who start eating before the prayer is over. Yes, manners are important, but I think I can relax a bit on this one.
