So in the past week and a half I have been doing alot of thinking, soul searching you might call it. Here are some of the questions I have been pondering:
Am I the only mom out there who reads other people's blogs and feels like the crappiest parent/wife in the world? Or doubts her status as a "Christian" because I don't proclaim it on every post?
Why is it people will post stuff on facebook that is just down right mean and hurtful? What kind of example is that?
Why do I feel like my worth on this earth is determined by what other people think of me instead of how I feel? Why do I allow people to make me or my family feel this way?
Why do I feel my attractiveness is based on my pant size? Can I not be attractive at a 16? Do only single digits = beauty? If they don't why do I think they do?
Am I the only mom out there that is ok with her kids eating sugar, staying up late during the summer, playing until they drop, and gets a kick out of their attitudes? Seriously, I don't want a "Yes Sir" child, I don't want my daughter to grow up without her own ideas and feel she can't go against the grain because it might be construed as misbehaving. Would I want her to go along with something I morally object to just because everyone else is? No I would want her to be strong and do the right thing. Do I realize that she needs to learn the balance between being disrespectful and having her own opinions? Yes I absolutely do, but I don't want my kids to just do what they are told. I want them to understand why they are doing something. Did George Washington "obey" his orders from the English, or did he go on to be the first president of this great country?
Anyway, this could go on to be a very long post if I "let it all out", but I am not going to. However, I am going to be shutting down my blog in a few days. I need to quit comparing myself to everyone else and concentrate on being the best Christian, mom, wife, and nurse I can be. Don't take offense, but I won't be reading your blogs. Not for a while anyway. But I would love some good old fashioned girl talk, so feel free to call me up anytime or send me an email.

New Purse
Oh I did some shopping yesterday before we went for our massages and got this purse. I know, a Coach purse and a massage in the same day?! But yep I did it! I have a big girl job now so I earned it!
