learning to love the new "me"

ever feel like you wasted an entire day? that's how i'm feeling these days. by the time the day is done, i really have nothing physical to show for my efforts: the dishes are still dirty, the laundry isn't done, my bed is un-made, and i haven't gotten a lick of studying done for the NCLEX. for as long as i can remember i have gauged my self-fulfillment on physical tasks that i could check off my list. being a mom sure does force me to appreciate myself in different ways and by different means: i just have to remember that i have a snuggly little burrito in his crib right now that loves me, needs me, and doesn't care about having a perfect mommy. thanks crew.
