Missed the Mark

I have to post this picture because I think it is so funny.  I had Kari come last week to help me hang a vinyl saying on my wall.  I've never done it before, she's done lots, so she's the expert.  We found "center", got out the level, marked the wall, then she had me put my end on my mark.  When we pulled the tape off, this is what I found.


It's off!  I totally missed the mark!  How could I have done that?!  Now it is not level and it bugs me when I walk by it.  My life is like that sometimes.  I have this idea in my head of an "ideal" that is darn near impossible to achieve.  Reality is that so often I miss the mark.  I sleep too late, forget to bathe the kids consistently (forget about getting the hair combed!), eat junk food for lunch and frozen meals for dinner, forget to say my prayers, fall asleep in the middle of reading scriptures, etc.


I'm grateful we have each other because we certainly don't have it all together!

We had girls camp last week and I had a blast!  I was called as camp director with one month to prepare, so I didn't have a lot of time to stress over it, just to get it done.  I delegated a lot, thanks to all of you that helped to pull off a great time--our girls are awesome!  Thanks to all the moms who came up for your girls.  Piuta rocks!

Love the saying! We did the same thing tonight. Hanging a shelf and it ended up crooked. My hubby fixed it, but it's so funny how things like that can bug you :) Glad you had fun at Girls Camp!!!
