I’ve always agreed with the sentiment that we learn more from our failures than our triumphs.

As for my failing of late, well, I have been a TERRIBLE blog friend lately, but I’m doing my best to remedy that. (Exhibit A: HIIIII!)

I achieved the goals but at what expense? What expense, indeed?

I surprised myself by working overtime, covered for the boss and completed all my tasks. What is the reward? A killer respiratory infection that has me in bed. Therefore, I’ll have to work just as hard when I return to work to make-up for the day(s) I missed!

I’m thinking meeting a goal is half-way is the way to go — a stop in a park to watch puppy chows would be more appreciated upon my deathbed.

I’m too tired from the new job to sort the bad and the good.

I drank too much wine one night and I didn’t keep up with the laundry so it took me 3 hours to fold and put it away yesterday…since I did manage to succeed in at least running it through the wash and drier all week. (9 loads of it)

You know what, I had a mega mega failure in one area of my life.

But the rest went well. My hygiene is spectacular, too. I was going to go home and wallow tonight, but instead I think I’ll just brush my teeth and go “HAH! LOOK AT THAT, GODS OF FAILURE, I SPITE THEE!”

Or sleep. You know. Whatever.

I’ll just say this, the wagon totally made it all the way to Beijing during the last few weeks, but now I can make it out on the horizon. Progress.

Under the catagory of gazelle, soaring like a, I put my triumphant return to the world of running. And using my wicked cooking skillz for once and creating some great dinners, therefore saving money.

Under the epic fail catagory is sobbing in the restroom at work due to the blazing hatred I feel for my job, topped only by knowing I can’t quit because my husband just got laid off.

You win some, you lose some, right?

This week has been AWESOME. Matthew leaves tomorrow for two days, so I am preparing for a big, fat, FAIL.

WIN: Finished a bunch of work. Or a little bit of work.

FAIL: Am behind on the rest of my work, can’t find Girl Scout cookies anywhere.

Girl Scouts may be crying, somewhere. Because of me.

What I’m realizing as I read these comments is that things I would call failure in my life are things I would never, ever label failure for anyone else. Hello, blatant double standard! Those do tend to sneak up on a person, don’t they?
