Lucky us, irrigation system and helper doing all the same tasks for us.
There are still a couple of things I would like to get in the habit of doing. Learning how to manage getting everything done for oneself and care along with all other tasks can be overwhelming and take time. So I tell myself....need to somewhat be patient with oneself.

Ask for help! Accept help offered!

I am notorious for planning "little family get togethers" that quickly get out of hand. Tonight it happened again - the plan was a taco bar for 10-11 adult cousins to visit one who we probably will not see again, at least while she knows us. Then I figured her daughter would enjoy seeing someone her own age and invited my daughters and a son-in-law, which inevitably includes their 2 littles. Oh, and her childhood best friend who is very close to our family as well...then my brother, figuring our boys would be here, brought their playmate, his 4 yo granddaughter. All of a sudden my little house was bursting at the seams with 18 guests, including 3 giddy kids.

When everyone but my husband, one daughter and my little sister were gone, they looked at me and said "Wow, you look tired! Can we finish cleaning up with you?"

Old me would have said, "It's fine, I can do it." New me is smarter and I gratefully accepted. So tomorrow I can wake up to a sparkling clean kitchen, all the tables wiped down and chairs stowed. All I need to do is strip beds and do laundry.
