Dear Mrs. Shiohare
Hope this letter finds you well.
This letter is to bring to your attention that you have put in your cent percent to be a good soul, a good wife, a good mom, a good cook, a good cleaner, a good home-decorator, a good caregiver, a good employee, a good money-manager and a good blogger and I must say that you are doing a good job so far. I know that you sometimes get anxious and have gazillion random thoughts running across your mind, but your feeling is legitimate. When you have so many roles to play, a little pressure is justifiable.
But remember that "being a role-model is tough but not impossible. " You don't need to be a perfectionist, just a little control of yourself and your actions and everything falls in place. Also, you should remember that:
- it is okay to sometimes ignore things and stop being a control-freak
- it is okay if your family eats cereals for breakfast
- its is okay if your daughter wears mismatched socks under her jeans
- it is okay to leave uncleaned dishes overnight
- it is totally okay if your unfolded laundry sits on the bed for a week
- it is okay if your bed isn't made until bedtime
- it is okay if your daughter misses her after school, extracurricular activities once in a while- you can't be everywhere.
- it is okay to take some downtime aka some me-time
- it is okay to not look put together all the time
- it is okay to occasionally indulge in a spa or a shopping spree
- it is okay to have a girls night out or in
- it is okay to let go mean comments and mean people
- it is human nature to expect but is is advisable to keep your expectations low
- it is okay to eat unhealthy sometimes AND
- it is totally okay to wear red lips during the day
