Awesome is as Awesome Does


Last night, my eight-year-old daughter, Aimee made up a schedule for me to help me get stuff done today. She obviously doesn’t want another day of mama in a grumpy funk.

Aimee’s schedule for my day:
  • Wake up
  • Coffee/breakfast/shower
  • Write blog
  • Yoga
  • Clean the house and mop the floor
  • Lunch
  • (I am going to have to go to the supermarket, but she didn’t put that on the list)
  • Sew kindle cases 







Now Aimee is the kind of kid who always wants everybody to be happy. She is a little bundle of crazy, happy, awesomeness. The best part of the list is that she thinks “clean the house and mop the floor” will make me happy. I love that she thinks it will be done by lunch. I am always saying how I wish the house was cleaner, but I am definitely someone who likes the end result more than the process. I hate to clean. If we had more disposable income, the first thing I would do is hire a cleaning service. I feel like I do a lot of cleaning, but with three kids, a dog, and a cat, my house is a disaster all the time. So today, I will follow Aimee’s plan and see how it goes. She loves to clean so I know I will have help. That’s all for today — I have a schedule to keep!
