So I was just sitting here blog surfing...and I realized that some blogs I read make me feel really intimidated... Some people seem to have so many cool experiences, or incredible vacations, or money for everything, or just seem to have it all together and do so many fun things with their kids... and then I looked at my own blog and it really hit me that blogs can make us seem way cooler than we actually are, maybe that's why we like them so much....a lot can get filtered out of the big picture of reality if we so choose.
At the end of the day, when all is finally done and the kids are sleeping soundly like angels in their beds I hit that stage where I just relish in the peace and quiet and enjoy those few moments (and they are few) of "me" time. In those moments it is so much easier to think of the good or funny things that happened in the day, even though they usually only lasted a few moments, and the rest of the day was full of pure entropy....
My blog doesn't reveal the constant noise that my head struggles to drown out throughout the day, or the sinking feeling that pulls behind my eyes during those moments where I'm SO tired but my 3 year old cracks the whip again and I must keep pushing forward... nor does it reveal the snotty fights I am all too capable of starting with my mostly Saintly husband, or the mean looks I give my kids every time they do something "kidly" like jump on the furniture or mess up their beds, and it doesn't even portray our financial situation well, because who wants to read about that?
So anyway, I was just thinking that I'm glad to know that deep down every cool blogger out there, really is human too... how can they not be?
This was posted by one of my friends on her blog. It is great wisdom.
Don't ever compare yourself to others, It will only cause you heartache.
Our best is good enough! I just got through reading "Believing Christ". What a wonderful book! If you haven't read it do so and If you have do so again. I learned so much from it and many of the answers I have been looking for were answered.

That sounds like a good book, I should definitely check it out. Thanks Kristin. :)
You are so cute! I loved reading this entry! You hit it right on the dot... we are all human no matter what. Love you girlie!!!!!!
P.S. I've been thinking alot of once we are blessed with a baby, a particular photo that I want that would capture that perfect moment of how I've felt during this whole process. Would you be willing to help me out. I'd pay you a million dollars for this one picture that would be priceless. haha
