Sheesh. <BR/><BR/>I basically said that it's interesting what your image of the perfect momma is- a mix of the 1950s housewife (unattainable anyway), and the modern working woman. No woman would ever have the time! (Except for maybe my grandma, who was wonder woman). Anyway, it got me thinking about what Nathan would say if asked what the perfect husband/poppa would be. I tend to think that women ask more of themselves, and are asked more of in general.<BR/>I think it's a balance at best- of course we must strive to be better, and sometimes that means hard work, but we also shouldn't set unattainable goals and standards for ourselves. Our children deserve authentic and happy versions of their parents, and so that's really what I'm working for as a mom. I might can all those veggies, but I don't talk about how I lost a third of them to rot because I let them go to long before doing it. <BR/>So... I guess all I'm saying is that I see a woman who is so special in so many ways. You have so many things that you can do. Also, I'm so glad you're writing! Keep it up!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465578500032725659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603311161243294906.post-29298652985383216532008-10-24T07:51:00.000-04:002008-10-24T07:51:00.000-04:00cute pictures.cute pictures.they keep me laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183259843046776428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603311161243294906.post-77851676650794462402008-10-24T07:35:00.000-04:002008-10-24T07:35:00.000-04:00Oh, so happy you are going to write more. I think...Oh, so happy you are going to write more. I think our homeschooled background taught us writing so well...that's one thing Teresa was really good at--teaching writing. I find I write better the more I do it. ...and I LOVE to write. Brett used to ask me how long it's been since I wrote because he knew how much I loved it. Anyway...lovely profound thoughts to begin my day. Lily's daddy is keeping her today because he has the day off and I'm starting to plan out just what little ll and I are going to do today. I think I'll try to be the perfect mommy...might even vacuum in pearls.
