Try not to think about it too much and really listen to your mom's words. It is so very important to slow down and most of all leave yourself a few messes from time to time. Just think it won't be long before perfection is expected! Looking for chaos? Come on over, after a few hours you will be ready to go back home :)aunt kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02882238212167458045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15155433.post-1163189748907623272006-11-10T12:15:00.000-08:002006-11-10T12:15:00.000-08:00You can do this! How exciting it must be to have the ability to mold your future. Scary too. We're with you! It's okay to leave your messes. Trust me....they'll still be there when you're ready to deal with them. Learning to do this is slightly liberating. It took me years to realize this. I was raised to make sure everything was done before play. There's nothing wrong with this concept. As a young Mom, the work was never done, so I missed out on much play. I remember the joy I felt while learning to play with you girls and worry about the mess later. Live life, Aimee....don't obsess over it. Take time to smell those flowers...they'll enrich your life. Learn from my mistakes....don't miss it all. It's just housework. Learn to say "no". Your friends will still love you. Live your life and enjoy it! You're only young once.
