I didn’t post yesterday.
It was only the seventh day of October, and I already failed in this 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses thing.
I could quit.
But I won’t.
Failure and quitting aren’t the same thing.
I can’t go back in time and write a post for yesterday. Technically, the challenge to post every day in October hasn’t been met.
But I won’t quit. Just like I’m not going to quit because I didn’t do a stitch of laundry today. Even though it’s Monday.
Nope. Days like this happen. When the family’s all home for Columbus Day and you go to a movie together instead of getting the weekly task finished . . . you just pick up the next day and make it work.
Perfection really isn’t the point, anyway.

[Circle of Moms Top 25 Home Management Moms – 2012 – Vote for me!] I’m sorry. This contest has ended.
Don’t you DARE give up. 🙂 I’m loving your series on lame excuses. Besides, the person blogging on perfection missed a day already too. 🙂
Oh, that made me giggle!
bwahahaha! Then my job here is done for the day. 🙂
It’s not the doing it everyday, it’s the doing it even when you missed a day that makes a habit, especially for those of us who struggle.
You know when I really got that-when I used your e-book!
Honestly, I think this is the most important excuse to identify as LAME!
Family first. If I quit 100 times but start 101 I am headed in the right direction.. Good Luck Nony your doing great!
Thanks, Michele!
Ok, so my comment has NOTHING whatsoever to do with your “lame” excuse post, but I have just now as of this minute finished reading all of your blog posts backwards! And have subscribed to get current posts. Yay me! I have to tell you, just reading through your blog has helped me so much, I feel like you could be my SA sponsor (that’s Slob’s Annonymous BTW). I look forward to reading more and being more inspired to take my slob recovery one step at a time (another SA reference, hee hee). Looking forward to reading more. Thanks!
Yay! So glad you caught up! So I guess you’ve figured out I’m still far from perfect . . . ?
I love it. Perfect is SOO overrated and boring. I think the biggest thing I find we have in common is the Master bedroom struggle. It’s just so easy to not let people see it. So major kudos to you for your recent victory there. As for me…. right now I’m still picking my clutter battles in other rooms but I’m determined to tackle that particular doozy of a room *eventually*.
I am a slob who just can not seem to come clean. I live in a very small house with 6 of use. I have unmotivated children when it comes to helping mommy With the help in the house. oh, I forgot to tell you that I am a homeschooling mom. I absolutely love reading and watching you on your blog. Do not give up. I all ways look forward to reading your blog. This makes my day when I can see one that also struggles with every day life. You are real and I like that you do not sugar cote things.
Thank you so much, Christina!
