i recently was thinking of how i get sucked into the 'blog' world of people's lives: perfect pictures, perfect grammar, perfect families. and i just wanted you all to know, these pictures and posts from our blog are a glimpse at our 'fake' life.
let me explain, you know the house you see when you come over, clean floors, clean couch, no dishes in sink; that my friends, is my fake house. There is usually squished bananas on the floor, toys scattered from heck to breakfast and me chasing someone around with a diaper or shirt. and always saying "i don't know", "hold on", "not right now!" but i only show you my wonderful kids' pictures and cute fragments of our lives, edited of course.
but that's the dignity of humanity isn't it? our fake voice and wonderful pictures and manners towards guests; thank goodness for that , or you'd all see what i am really like. i have good days and bad days. some days i'm on the ball and others i'm a little off center, but i'm ok with that, and i'm constantly trying to improve. as for now, i am avoiding house work venting on my blog. which isn't a first....but just so you know, my real life is less perfect than my little blog portrays.

this is too true, but I guess if my real life was like my blog life i would be bored :)
Oh honey, we totally feel the same way. For me, putting these little "perfect" glimpses into our lives on our blog makes me feel that even though I don't remember the last time I mopped, I must be doing something right with the kids, right?! :)
Now I'll go clean something! :)
Whatever Annie, I lived with you, I know you're perfect. ;)
I use blogging as an excuse to not clean all the time, too. Only the best do!
AAh! My fantasy life is full of beautiful imagery too. I knew a woman with a plaque in her home. it said, "dull women have immaculate homes". I'm not shooting for immaculate at all right now. I'm looking at hovering around being in the clear if OSHA were to drop by.
"just keep swimming!"....
i'm with danna. i really just can never take the time to make the house sparkling--there's so much else i would rather do. like blog...
