I just finished cleaning this glass:
3 minutes ago I swept this floor, but hadn't yet swept the pile.
I was lamenting the fact that Lily just made up a new game called "it's really fun to stomp on popcorn and listen to it crunch under your shoe."
Then by chance (but not really) I came across the title to this new book: A Perfectly Kept House is the Sign of a Misspent Life, and it about knocked me over.
Lesson learned.
I'm grateful I have little girls who are best friends and love to play. I'm grateful I have a floor to sweep. I'm grateful I have popcorn in my pantry when my kids get hungry.

Thanks for posting this. This is so something I've been struggling with. You're so right!

Carrie, you just "swept away" years of guilt. The picture of Claire and Lily through the glass is priceless.
