Hard on ourselves...

I talked with a girlfriend recently, and we were talking about how hard working moms are, on ourselves. We are so critical of ourselves, and we tend to expect perfection, even it can't be achieved. So...she shared with me one of her self-indulgences that makes life a little easier:

2 positives and 2 negatives. Every Day. At the end of the day, she comes up with 2 positives and 2 negatives for the day. So...I'll going to completely STEAL her idea, and put it on my blog. Every day. I'll start out with this little tidbit. OK, maybe not every day, but when I do blog - I'll put it at the top of the post.

So...here goes: (these are for yesterday (Tuesday))

Positive #1: I checked out 2 passes for Little Joe and I to go to the Ford Rouge Factory Tour this Weekend...
Positive #2: I sent a thank you letter to my professor to thank her for taking some extra time with me to explain some things before my exam last week.
Negative #1: I lost my temper with Joseph after dinner. Big time. I told him that I was tired of cleaning up after him.
Negative #2: I was in a bad mood for most of the evening - I even got mad at the blender and can opener. Inanimate objects. Oh yes, I was in prime form.

(Just as an FYI - the negatives were SO much easier to come up with!!) And I could have listed so many more negatives...
