Lower Your Standards
Magical when you think about it. You don't have to make all of these crazy demands on yourself to be happy. Your house can be a little dirty. You don't have to cook every meal (this is good for me because I don't cook ANY meal, much less EVERY meal). Your laundry doesn't have to be finished. OK, so I'm mainly talking to myself here but that is fine. If anyone can benefit from listening to myself, it's me. I'm ok with that.
What was for dinner last night? I know that is the burning question. My friend stopped by with her 2 girls. Friend and I had beer, and the girls had cereal, toast, bacon, and milk/grape juice. Everyone was happy. It didn't take long and there was no major clean up issues. After that, they carried on with playing and friend and I talked some more.
I did manage to get my laundry caught up, even though I'm living by the Low Standards concept. Maybe I'm not really living the Low Standards concept just yet. It's merely an ideal. A hypothetical theory for myself that keeps me sane. Ok. It doesn't keep me sane. It is just something to tell myself when I feel crazy.

I could really get onboard with this technique.
Wait-I think I already did.
Great idea! I think I'm going to go with that!
Brilliant!!
I am SO there :)
So what I am hearing here... is smoke a lot of pot... and you'll be fine? Or did I read it wrong?
Way to go, Mamalicious! Beer and breakfast!
SO NEEDED this today. Thanks!
I don't think I could lower my standards anymore, they are already at rock bottom!
I kid, I kid.
yay for breakfast for dinner! And beer!
Shannon- Where was p0t mentioned in this concept (or life plan)? As you are aware, I am not an advocate of the mary-jay-wanna for anyone that lives in my house (including me).
Lowering Your Standards means= don't be too hard on yourself and don't strive for perfection every day!
Cookiemom- Read it again, please. I can't really lower my standards either. I can't stand dirty floors and I hate dirty laundry. I can't rest if my house isn't clean. If I was on my death bed and my house was dirty, I would have to get off of my death bed and clean it so that I could die in peace in clean sheets with clean toilets.
Anyhow, I do need to lower my standards. I expect way too much of myself.
