Oh I take plenty of days to throw it all to the wind! One of the issues with writing about frugality, or simplicity, or organizing or anything is that we might be seen as ‘experts’, but really we’re not.

Rules are important, but they’re also made to be broken you know!

Thank you for this post. I was just wondering today if other people are as busy as I am or if I’m being unreasonable with myself. I see from the comments that I’m not the only one and I’m encouraged because I, too, like all my hats. Thank you for giving us some ideas to keep it all going. Rules are so important in life, aren’t they? But do you ever just take a day and throw it all to the wind and be just a little irresponsible? Or is that really not a good option in life?

Excellent post! I can SO relate to every single word here. It took me a long, long time to face it – I can’t do everything by myself, I must OUTSOURCE! And trusting other people with the job that only YOU can do best is difficult. Ah… We live, we learn. My lesson was that outsourcing = simplifying.

Thanks Ann! I find that the relationships that I develop with others, particularly women, are so important to me. My friends and mentors are such an important resource for me, and help me to ‘re-source’ as well. Thanks for being a support for me as well!

Suzanne, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I know that my husband doesn’t have the same priorities as me, so if he doesn’t notice something, it’s not because he doesn’t love me, it’s just because he didn’t notice. If I ask he does it willingly, and that’s how he really shows his love. But sometimes I have a hard time remembering that when I’m stepping over the laundry basket that he didn’t notice, or cleaning up the crumbs he didn’t see.
