I will tackle it AND own it

This morning I had a fun convo on Twitter with a couple of friends about owning today.

As in, "I am going to tackle you and own you Tuesday."

Today is a day for conquering.

For me, that means TACKLING AND OWNING the laundry.

I know that I have lamented about laundry several times.

But, somewhere along baby number three and something I like to call my-eldest-chooses-to-put-her-clean-laundry-in-with-the-dirty-laundry, I just kind of gave up a bit.

{Yes, I realize that my "baby" is almost a year and a half old, let's just go with it, shall we?}

So, I am going after that bad boy.

I am going to get it all done.

I am going to check it off of my list.

I will accomplish it.

Today, after the coffee was consumed and the doctor's appointment finished I resumed my owning of said chore.
I am not having fun with it, but it does feel good to get something accomplished.
Especially something that I have grown to loathe.
To check the little box.

It seems in life that there is so little instant gratification with work.
In my line of work {aka raising kiddos}, almost everything is done for the long-haul.
You work at raising your kids to be kind, respectful, productive members of society.
That isn't something that occurs over night, but rather over a period of time.

So today I will relish in that little check mark.
I wonder what else I can get accomplished.
BUT, if the mountain of laundry is the only major thing to get done today, I will still consider today a success.
After all, a check mark and a feeling of accomplishment should never be belittled.
