I labeled myself as lazy because I did not make up a menu plan last week and I did not spend every night working in the yard. I realized after the weekend that I am not lazy. I made some alternate choices this past week and did not manage to get a sparkly clean house or finish the back yard but I was still working on getting stuff taken care of. I need to go easier on myself and keep telling myself steady wins the race. Things will eventually be taken care of or at least brought to a manageable level and then I can relax without beating myself up (maybe).
