Ok - I did not make my kids watch Oprah like I had planed - I felt like it would not impress on them. I did however avoid entertainment news yesterday and I missed out the news on the Oscar noms and Heath Leger's death. Now see how sick that sounds.... I "missed out" of the news of a death - this is why I cannot watch anymore. I found out by the way on regular news CNN/BBC.
I often have plans in day and I often do not realize those plans or expectations of myself or my time for that day. It could be a function of having a baby around that is a bosslady but it is also me. I realize that I am a person who wants to do what she wants to do when she wants to do it. I think i have bought into the "you are worth it" byline and I do what ever I want or feel like doing. Where is the line between being good to yourself and enjoying life and being undisciplined? I am wondering what others think.....

So, I take it the plans you are talking about are those that involves cleaning, tidying, writing the email you should have written three months ago, pay bills, clean the floor etc.
So, why do today, what you can do tomorrow? Here is why, you never know what tomorrow will bring, so therefore “YOU ARE WORTHY IT!”
In other words, you don’t have to follow your plans as long as basic need for you and your family is met. If you don’t have heat because you planned to pay the gas bill, but didn’t do it, then there are reasons for concern. If you closet isn’t clean because you planned to do it, but haven’t done it yet – oh well.
That being said, personally I find it to be very satisfying to be able to cross off an item of my list of plans. It feels good to have it done and the feeling sometimes equates to “you are worthy it”.
Now, I must say, your have very many elements impacting your day. I think you are very unfair to yourself indicating you are undisciplined when you in a couple of sentences above state “It could be a function of having a baby around.” Having to tend to a child or four will sometimes mess with your plans, but that does not mean you are undisciplined. Give yourself a break.
If you at the end of today can say to yourself, I’m happy with my day and I don’t regret the things I did or did not do, then I’d say you have made the right choices. However, if you are unhappy and maybe even in a bad mood at the end of the day, blaming it on unachieved plans, then maybe you want to look at how you organize your day or your life.
