I think we all agree that ...Girl, you are on it!!!<br /><br />I think we all agree that we LOVE caller i.d.!!! Now, if our little ones would JUST get the hang of not answering it!!! :) <br /><br />I have been torn...torn I tell ya...over the prompting of the Holy Spirit to be "real" on my blog. I have some big skeletons in the closet and they keep falling all over themselves to get out. Your post last night was the final God-moment to write what I've been needing to say.<br /><br />Blessings Friend!<br /><br />ValValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633704862629969672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-43853914257536588542013-03-06T09:35:49.129-08:002013-03-06T09:35:49.129-08:00My favorite one?

I'm so guilty of that especially if it's someone that wants to add a date to my already too full calendar or wants to complicate my life a bit or just talks too long. I soooooo don't pick up. <br /><br />Great post idea... although guess what? I still think you're pretty perfect! :)<br /><br />~tara Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136315204046257756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-28151329679556161542013-03-06T06:12:36.285-08:002013-03-06T06:12:36.285-08:00ha ha ha! I have to laugh when people tell me the...ha ha ha! I have to laugh when people tell me they can't homeschool because they lack patience. Patience. What's that??!! Or like breakfast is a dinner. I was told by a couple of friends that they could "never" do that to their husbands. Really??!! I was thinking of my husband by thinking of the food budget. Meat is so expensive these days. He's the one working hard to bring home the bacon...but I can't afford the bacon all the time. We had French toast last night. Life is life. How we tackle the small things, one thing at a time, is what is important. :)Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651016998027244516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-82034532113457705472013-03-06T02:35:44.736-08:002013-03-06T02:35:44.736-08:00favorite post ever!!!:) and i just have to say...y...favorite post ever!!!:) and i just have to say...you are quite funny!:) keep these comin. i think it's good for us all to read about people who really are just like us. it makes the good even better in my book!:)<br />and i agree with you...i'd be quite proud that they worked together to rescue the phone too:)<br />have a happy day billie jo<br /><br />PS<br />love the march look around here.<br />new header and blog look??? seriously over due at my place:){cindy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06475685252532344615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-53963660017015897892013-03-05T20:01:57.894-08:002013-03-05T20:01:57.894-08:00Love this!

Then I realized that was not my family, house or life. <br />Yes we watch a lot of TV, do not not always answer the phone, my kids fight and many nights after the kids are in bed I go in and tell them that I am sorry I was the mean mom that day. It is life! <br />I find it funny how you posted this today. I wanted to post something tomorrow but am just tired and not feeling like the best mom. I had thought about posting my feeling on my blog. <br />I sure do wish we lived closer!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104100135764091440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-43535998454632210922013-03-05T18:59:10.088-08:002013-03-05T18:59:10.088-08:00Loved this!!

When I was first married, I...Such a wonderful post! When I was first married, I really wanted to be the perfect wife. Then I would mess up. Maybe i would be too snippy. Or fail at being a good hostess. I was hard on myself. Then I became a mom and suddenly my expectations for myself rose even higher. It was awful. I finally realized that I was never, ever going to be the perfect mom I imagined. It took a long time to deal with that. To let myself be happy with imperfection. (I must be okay with it now because my kitchen is a mess after cooking dinner and here I sit typing on the computer!) I have grown to appreciate people who are real. People who are doing the best they can and being content with that. I guess what I'm trying to say is this post just makes me like you even more! :) You are a wonderful lady and a great mom and I am very happy to know you!<br />Elizabeth.....Elizabeth.....

NO offense, but talking takes time. Time I usually don't have. If it's important, they will leave a message! Right?<br /><br />My friend (who I finally answered the phone to today) and I were talking about blogs and the perfect ones and how we women compare ourselves constantly with everything. If I posted a picture of our dirty floors and commented on that, some one, would think to themselves that they love and wish they had white tile floors. I like the keeping it real blogs best. We need that. <br /><br />Like now, I should be either folding clothes or making supper...but I'm checking blogs "quick"!<br /><br />God bless you Billie Jo--glad I found you!

I feel less intimidated and less pressure to only show my halo. lol. <br /><br />Here's a couple of my for reals:<br />-my big kids were both over 3 yrs old when they were potty trained<br />-I am not a big fan of breastfeeding and would much rather pump and that works best for me<br />-I measure myself up to other beautiful, flawless moms/women and pretty much always fall short<br />-my prayer life was sorely lacking until recently when I kicked myself in the butt and got back on track <br /><br />Now it's off to my fridge to find leftovers for supper because I just didn't get around to making anything else. That's how we roll.<br /><br />Thanks again for the honesty, Billie Jo. Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.com
