Loving A Less Than Perfect Life

Recently I have read several blogs that reveled in not being perfect moms but instead shared several things in life that had gotten out of control. I have decided to use my blog for that today. As fellow moms, women, men and Christians we need to empathize and sympathize with each other.

So here is a  glimpse of my less-then-perfect life :) 

1. My bed is rarely made. I simply run out of time to make it, and then it is time to use it again
2. Sometimes I forget to change Bella and Conner's diaper.
I mean well but, it keeps popping out of my mind...
plus my nose doesn't work so sometimes it can be quite a while.
3. Whenever I go to town dinner is usually pizza
4. If you open my entertainment center...
everything is simply thrown in the drawers and cupboards
5. I never remember to empty the lint trap in the dryer
6. My daughter's carseat and crackers (enough said)
7. I feel like I don't measure up as a mom and wife
8. I don't read my Bible as much as I should.
When I do I feel so encouraged that it leaves me wishing for more consistency.
Why is this so hard?
9. I struggle to not compare myself to other mothers that I feel are doing a better job
10. I get embarrassed when my daughter has a tantrum in public and we get the look.
I do everything I can to train her but, when that happens my stomach feels queasy
and I struggle with my reaction.

So here you have it! My honest struggles of the day.
Praise the Lord for giving me strength every day to take my focus
on these feeling and move my focus back to him. We serve a truly wonderful God.
