Do you ever just sit and look at blogs of others? I think I just get depressed when I do. I see all these people going to all these exotic places (anywhere but here), doing incredible things, taking amazing pictures, and living perfect lives. Sometimes I feel like I just don't fit in as a mother. I can't control my kids half the time, I warm up leftovers for most our meals, my house looks like it was just struck by a tornado, and I don't have the perfect smile, hairdo, and figure for all these adorable pictures with my kids. What is the deal? Do people really live that way? Are all mothers really back to a size 2 the day they deliver? And where do they find the time to be good at everything? Style please? Maybe just a little? I need help...
Blah!
I so want a vacation!
Am I the only one?

it's all smoke and mirrors! (just look at this months cover of oprah - it's amazing what a photographer can do!) no doubt your new "season" of school on top of being a full-time mom has just thrown you a TeMpoRary curve ball. you are a beautiful and talent woman!!! anyone can spin any story they way they want to present it... i just think of how things "looked" when i was growing up. looks can be oh-so deceiving!
I agree with Allison. Looks can be oh so deceiving. Besides you are comparing your worst to their best. Your going to loose every time. Be kind to yourself you have two bright, amazing kids. You have a tender heart so help others. You are GOING to school. The kids that live with me are over 21 and I can't even clean up after myself. You actually feed your kids. I look at mine and remind them they know where the refrigerator is located. You are doing amazing things. I am so proud of you.
Hey, if you're heating up leftovers, it means you cooked something in the first place =).
Yes I believe that many people only blog about the good stuff. I don't there is anything wrong with it, but it does give an illusion that life is all fun and games.
I think you do a great job with your kids! Plus school takes a lot of time and energy so give yourself a break:)
It's coming to Jason and I having cereal for dinner when I don't want to cook anything...that is our alternative to spending money on fast food.
Just remember that those bloggers know that people that they know and don't know will be viewing their posts. They are going to make their life seem as great as possible. Maybe some of those size 2 moms spend 30 hours a week in the gym to keep that size 2 and miss out on all the great everyday experiences with their kids.
I totally undertsnad what your saying. I often wanted to use my blog to vent from the imperfections in my life, but I always think how depressing it would be to go back and look at my blog if I blogged about that.I'll I'd be doing is complaining and who really wants to hear that? However, I dont care to read other peoples blogs when everything is too perfect. So for myself I try to blog about positive things/experiances that I'd be interested in looking back at with the occasional post that might let me vent a little.
