Life has been crazy around here, y’all. Life doesn’t seem to understand that I need things to pause so I can finish up my book manuscript which is officially due in less than TWO WEEKS now!!!
But then, this happened:

What do you see?
I mean, besides the wrinkled sheets and inside-out pajama pants?
Fine. I’ll just explain. This picture represents everything that I’ve been working for the past six years of my deslobification process. On a day when life was absolutely insane, after a leaky roof, pulled-up 30+ year old carpet (so, so scary), a kid with strep throat, realizing my favorite pajamas were clean at the end of that day (which was preceded by an equally crazy week), was realizing I’ve succeeded.
Life was crazy, but routines exist. My routines are far from perfect, and the week after was even more scary, but they exist.
Because Laundry Day exists, I saw the point in washing clothes even on a crazy day, so we have clean clothes.
Because a dishwashing routine exists, I thought to run the dishwasher the night before, and we had clean dishes to use for our dinner.
Because I have a freezer full of pre-cooked ingredients, we ate a home-cooked meal on a crazy night.

You see a wad of clothes.
I see success.
Yay for success.
Want more details about the crazy week? I shared in this podcast.
