Today I had to perform a detailed task of taking bean bag filler from one bean bag to another one. It seemed simple. Open one. Open the other. Turn the one over and dump it. Are you beginning to laugh at the thought of this? I'm re-laughing now.
Often times, I expect tasks will be simple. Quick. Minimal time investment. I allot a certain amount of time in my mind to perform these tasks. I wonder what it would be like to not have that little ticker going in my mind at all times. For those of you who are more laid back about schedules and tasks--I'm jealous.
Expectations. I expect a time frame. I expect my kids will finish school work by this time. I expect that my projects will take x amount of time. I expect that when I dump bean bag filler from one to another, that it will happen just like that.
I am shredding high expectations. I know that it's important to have them. Just perhaps they should be more realistic.
By the way, I eventually finished my task and cleaned up all the bean bag filler that threw up all over my floor!

Until tomorrow...or the next day,
