The best laid plans…
Some days I think I’ve finally got it figured out. Meals are planned, groceries are bought, lunch was packed… And then life happened and we forgot to take supper out of the freezer.
It is hard to be a working family that doesn’t put the kids in daycare. I worked from home for 2 years and now Dave does. We understand what each other struggles with as we’ve both done it. We get to raise our kids and pursue our dreams. Best of both worlds! ?
But there are often times I think daycare would be easier. Having everyone on a regular, steady schedule would make planning our lives so much easier.
Or would it?
We did the both-working thing and it was packed with its own challenges. We missed things. Our son was blessed to spend days with his grandparents while I was teaching, but it was still hard on all of us by the end of the school year.
The long and the short of today’s lesson: just because supper was “pasta Tuesday” instead of what was on the menu does not mean my plan failed. Life still happens and plans must have a certain flexibility or we break under their structure.
80% success is still better than last Tuesday and the fish will keep for another day.
