Perfectionism Hurts

I never get everything that I need to get done, or do anything to my own satisfaction. I wish I wasn't quite so critical..and that I didn't have so many things needing done. Some days it really gets me down. Chronic pain and a nursing baby get together and keep me from doing nearly what I need to.

 I'm trying to learn to be (at least partially) satisfied with whatever accomplishments I actually manage to accomplish.

 In this spirit I am going to start making "done" lists like I make "to do" lists. If anyone other than me is actually reading this, please know that I'm not bragging,rather I'm trying to give myself some visual encouragement.

 So here's today's "done" list:

(In no particular order)

 Put away most of the laundry

Changed bed sheets

Washed four loads of laundry 

Re-hung living room curtain

Carved pumpkins with the kids

Did dishes

Packed hubby's lunch

Vacuumed twice

Hung Emma's shelf

Made Emma's bed

Hung some decorations

Made lasagna

Made tea

Cooked biscuits and eggs for breakfast

Watched Abbott and Costello,Hold that Ghost, with the kids

Spent lots of time cuddling and nursing Judah

 I'm not done for the day and still have a very long "to do" list but at least something got done!
