...My sister came over today and I was telling her about sweetest comments i've received since
Taza linked me on
her blog last night. We quickly got to laughing about just how wildly scummy i look today...
"if they could only see you now!" she teased.
i gotta say...i was a little shy and ashamed at the fact that as i scoured over your words, not only was my armpit hair poking into my upper arm, but i didn't even have a bra on my body until like 1:30!
{breaking a sad and simple new years goal} But I had been captivated in blogging la la land when it hit me...i haven't even showered.. for like, three days!!
My life is so realistically unglamorous. A point that is solidified by the fact that
as i type this, i've just learned that my son just majorly pooped his pants. no joke. My husband has summoned my help, and by "help" he will surely mean "
can you do this instead of me please so i don't DRY HEAVE my face off?" {since moms have stomachs of steel you know}
i was right.
Just like that....a reality check that got me to
finally shower!
"Oh Universe! (lightly punching its imaginary shoulder)...
you got me. AGAIN!"
{but perhaps a more subtle hint next time}
Anyway the best part is all of the adorable blogs i've found, like
this one ...and
this one ! I am amazed at all the kind words and talent of those who said hello {thank you!!}, and i've spent the better part of the day responding to as many of you as i can. However, in the interest of full disclosure, i feel its only fair to confess: I am
lame sometimes. As women, we tend to torture ourselves with comparisons {myself included} so i want to admit: as much as i love the beautiful romantic things i find through blogging, sometimes my cynical side wants to figuratively
blow myself to the moon if i see one more blog post about
dandelions or
"potty training success!" {crap...am i'm bitter?? from
this,
this ..or perhaps
this ?} k wait, i guess i do it too ;)
Either way...you all are the biggity-best.
