You know, I have realized that this blogging thing can be kind of therapeutic. You can write down all that you're thinking and someone will read it and give you feed back. How amazing is that? And I don't have to pay $80.00 an hour. So here is my therapy session for the day.
Do you ever get in the blog stalking mood and before you know it you are feeling really kinda lousy? The more I read about how successful people are with their children, husbands, jobs and general life the more I slump down in my chair. I think to myself "Self, you are just a big Dud! You are not near as successful in your parenting, your children talk back and don't mind. Your husband thinks you are a piece of the furniture and you are late on your bills!!" I really feel like others must live such different lives. Why, they must not have to clean house, fight kids and their marriage must be so loving. Where was that sigh-up list? I missed it. I signed up on the "Hard Knock Life" list. Or maybe it was the "Real Life" list.
Don't get me wrong, I have kids that are good sometimes. I have a husband that notices me when I put make-up on once a month and my bills are paid when I talk to the collector on the phone! (Hey, I do have my organization skills, that's just how I choose to be organized.)
I guess It's 1:08 in the afternoon, time to get dressed for the day, the kids will be walking in from school. (You won't read that on perfect blogger moms ' blog now will ya?) Whew that was a great session. Thanks, I feel better already!

totally know what you mean about feeling down after reading all the perfect blogs. We tend to keep our problems to ourselves. thanks for sharing, I have a "real life", too. :) you are so not the only one!
I was in that line too! And...I was having the same conversation with myself just the other day. Was just too chicken to put in on my blog...again. It's not like I am above using my blog to vent, but I worry that it will get too much for those that have "perfect" lives. It's like poverty...does it really exist if you don't see it. Come visit me. We have so much to share. And for the record...makeup is not a prerequisite for men to notice us, but that's what makes them putzs. Not us!
You goofball! We all have those kind of lives....we just don't blog about them. When I look back I want to remember the good stuff, not the many times a day I totally lost it. Call it selective memory if you will.
Ya know...blogging is only to brag a bout the good stuff. We never tell the dirt! I feel that way too sometimes though. It's hard to be the perfect wife and mother. We're all in this together:) Thanx for sharing cause we all have those days, nice to know we're not alone!
You are totally not alone, I feel this way sometimes too! I love you Rachel & you are a WONDERFUL mother & wife!! Also, you are the BEST friend a girl could ask for =) Thanks for helping me through these past couple of years with my Mom, I couldn't of done it without you!
