You know those types of people who seem to have it all put together...never a bad hair day, perfectly dressed, kids never scream or make threats during family night to go shoot people ;), they find time to scrapbook, knit a blanket, teach their kids the theory of relativity, and cook dinner all in one day... I am not one of those people...nor do I plan on being one any time soon (sorry Nate, especially about the dinner part). I actually wonder if there are really those types of people out there or if it's just a front. I find myself usually advertising my flaws, maybe that's not such a good thing. I find that if I'm insecure about something I will just come out and say it so that the person who I'm associating with doesn't need to keep thinking it in their mind...make sense?...no...well example (lame example might I add), if I have a zit I will just go ahead and point it out to every one before they have a chance to say anything... doesn't make a whole lotta sense does it? but after all, as I have said before, that's some times how my life is. So if I were some how able to find time to try to be "perfect" this is what I would do, lame as it may be.
- Start writing in my journal
- Make journals for my children
- Scrapbook 3 years worth of pictures
- Work out, with out feeling guilty about leaving my kids
- Make one on one time for my kiddo's, I swear their not totally neglected
- Learn more about photography
- Enjoy cooking dinner, better yet hire someone to cook for me
- And while I'm at it I should add a clean house to the list and sense this list hypothetical, it would even be better to have a live in maid
There are of course more things I could add to the list, like things I would change about my body, but that's nothing money can't buy...right?..........I'm just kidding...kind of...any way, really if I look at the list I have I'm not too bad off, I would just say I'm human. We all have things out there that we wish we could do or change. Even those seemingly "perfect" people have things they would change about themselves. I guess I can just call myself perfectly imperfect and that's OK with me..

Hey, it's not about being arrived. It's about heading in the right direction.
You're doing great.
I think you really are doing a better job than you think you are. It's rare to see a Mom who will dance with her kids while they clean, or play soccer outside with them. You're doing great!
Hey, I feel like this all the time!! I think more people than we realize do. It is hard to get everything done. Some days I really don't care, I just let the dishes and laundry pile up. I think the memories you have with your kids are important, and it sounds like you are doing an awesome job!
