On this page: We do real. We do mistakes. We do grace. We do happiness. We do laughter. We do hugs. We do love.
It’s not a trick question, it’s a real and honest one. It would shed light on things that are ugly and, while relatable, hurtful. I’ve written things in this last year and a half. To tell a story that is half way mine.
Writing short stories in middle school and poems in high school. In high school I worked on the school paper and enjoyed every minute. I talked endlessly with my best friend, who thankfully didn’t co sign for the modern rules of motherhood. Friends I had in high school, college roommates, and friends of friends.
Every time I'm asked, "How are you today? ", my default answer is, "Busy". It's like we are trained to show off just how busy we are. Look at me, I'm so awesome because I've already made three dozen cookies, folded two loads of laundry, and got my kids to school on time... Another mom sitting near me said, "I don't know how you do it", and I said, "I don't know either, and I don't even work".
Sure I have bad hair days, tight waist band days, eat everything in the kitchen days. Because if I have learned anything about having a blog, you have to live life, to share life. Some days I feel bad about being away from this spot, but most days I'm just too tired and too busy to have more than a fleeting thought. Now as the school year ends and summer begins, I feel like I need to come back to this spot, even if it's just once a month.
