Lower Expectations

I used to really try to make my house spotless when we left for trips.

It is so nice to come home to a clean house after being away.

Not so much anymore.

We are leaving tomorrow for KY.

At this point, my goal is to get out of here with what we need and without any casualties from the process of packing.

There is really no point in coming home to a clean house anyway.

The minute we unload the truck upon our return, it is a total disaster.

I'm growing.

I am lowering my expectations.

I am breathing deeply right now.

I am hungry because there is no food left in this house!!

Tomorrow, we leave. We get a break from our everyday routines.

Life will still be chaotic. It will just be chaotic with different scenery and family around us.

I'll take that for a few days.
