Well …at least the roll is within reach.
I suppose if a box of tissue had been nearby the toilet paper may not have even made it to the counter.
Fellow Mamas, have you noticed…we are the end of the line when it comes to household management ?
We get the stuff.
Organize the stuff.
Toss the stuff.
Locate the stuff.
And donate the stuff.
Why is it that I know where my daughter’s earrings, my son’s shoes, and husband’s wallet are?
I don’t know but… I do know.
I remember the thought crossing my mind that once I got married my soup and salad days would be over.
I hadn’t realized I would also be the one in charge of all the stuff.
“Mom, we need more cereal.”
“Mom, did you know we are out of milk?”
So… I have come to terms with being the Manger of Stuff.
And actually, it isn’t such a bad role.
I love caring for my family.
So I have a choice.
I can fight the natural system or I can place the roll on the roller.
I’m choosing to pick my battles. And toilet paper isn’t going to be mine.
What battles have you decided not to fight?
Enjoy Christmas… and Mamas, let’s not sweat the small stuff!
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family.
