A wise woman at work once told me that the things you learn on maternity leave do translate into your grown-up life too. For example, KB pointed out to me that sometimes 2 kids are crying and you're the only parent around. What do you do? You quickly assess who is crying the loudest, or for the best reason, or some other criteria you make up on the spot and leap into action.
That's exactly what happened this week. Life threw a lot at me, and I focused on the most urgent thing, knowing I wouldn't get to everything. And, instead of feeling guilty about it, I just did the best I could, took care of the 'kid' who needed me most and didn't look back. This is new for me. It felt pretty good.
Fabulous Husband has always been cool as a cucumber under pressure. And, while I'm no cuke, I'm getting better. Thanks, Fabulous Husband, Meena and T-Mobile, for teaching me to always do my best and, instead of feeling guilty, learn from those choices so I do a better "best" next time.
