I love that Suave commercial that shows the mom going through different stages of Motherhood. She gets a little sadder looking as time goes on...Well that is how I feel. I realized this morning that I haven't shaved my legs in a week. I have noticed recently that I have really let myself go. I am not sure why...maybe because we have outgrown our house and even if I clean for hours it looks like I have accomplished nothing. Or maybe because there is always someone asleep in our house (Doug, Ashlyn, occasionally Jaxon) so I find it hard to get motivated to get myself ready. Maybe it is because I have one husband, two kids, and seven dogs who need my attention. Whatever the reason is I need to find the desire to change. I will tell myself to just get dressed up and you will feel better, but then I realize I have no clothes and I need a makeover :)
I think the only drawback to the blogging scene is that everyone posts the picture perfect life. We don't get to see the messy houses or the whiny kids running around in their jammies at noon. I am sure that no one loses their temper at the family, or cries when they feel overwhelmed. I have to remind myself that no one is perfect even though it seems like ALL of my friends have their lives's in perfect order.
This is not a pity post!!! I am just wanted to vent for a minute. Now all that is left to do is buy some Suave and take a shower, then I can have my TADA moment after I wash my hair :)

I don't know what you're talking about. My kid doesn't whine. I never have to put her in time out. My house is always clean. I run three miles every morning and get beautiful before my kids are even up. I have a lavish meal on the table every night. :) Just kiddin'. I know how you feel. Just rest assured, the rest of us are dealing with the SAME thing! (((HUGS)))
One more thing . . . . do you guys really have 7 dogs? Oh my goodness! I can barely keep up with my one! (As much as I love him :)
Sorry about my three comments - I can't even get organized in the blog world! :)
It is always nice actually to see posts like this because it helps all of us other moms out there realize that we are not the only ones who go through funk sometimes. I think that being a mom is one of the hardest and thankless jobs around. We bust our buns 24-7 to make sure everyone is happy and hardly ever get a thanks in return. So dont you worry, every family that looks like they have their lives all in order most likely do not and are all thinking the same thing about everyone else.
Hey this is Sarah Crook, and I am a geek. I was blog stalking, and found you. Hope you don't mind if I say hello once in a while. Also I understand your pain with the Mommy looking the worst of all the game. I never have a clean house. Even though I just spent the whole day cleaning. I have tornado's that stay right behind me. And baby three threw me for a loop! I still can't catch up on anything...
