Death by 'shoulda'

Have you heard this? "Don't should yourself to death." I can very easily head that way. I'm the queen of shoulda coulda woulda.
Examples:

• I should be out and about by now. My friends with new babies are! What's wrong with me?
• I should have a clean house. The dust buffaloes are scaring off company and making me crazy!
• I should have decorated for Christmas by now. It's next week for crum's sake!
• I shouldn't need people to bring me food by now (and the guilt for asking from a certain party isn't helping! Honestly)
• It's noon and I haven't done anything. I should get up, get dressed and be productive.

I'm sitting here with my baby girl who is not going to sleep because of excess gas, reading a blog about a mom who has 4 kids (one of them a newborn) and is parenting, taking photos, blogging, cooking, and get this...knitting! All with children and life swirling about her. I can't even manage to get out of bed before 9am or make sure I have clean clothes! Much less cook or knit. Sheesh. SO the shoulds come in and I start to feel guilty.

Here's my prayer for today:
Help me be in the moment. Help me take each little smile and erp as a gift. So what if we have no 'baby's first christmas' ornament. So what if we don't do a tree this year. So what if I am in desperate need of a shower and haircut. So what if money is tight. I am where I am. It is where I am supposed to be! Help me find joy in the moment and not should myself to death.
