ExpectationsI always forget how hard it is to be pregnant. I am so tired all the time, no matter what time I go to bed. When I wake up in the morning, it feels like I didn't sleep at all the night before... grumble...
A friend of mine has posted her thoughts about how inadiquate she feels at times thinking about the "other girls" out there... when I read her blog, I have to admit that I felt surprised. I thought that I was the only one out there in the world that felt that way about myself and the things that I attempt to accomplish in my life. I feel a bit frustrated that I can't get things done that need to be done... long story that, but my house always seems to spontaniously dirty itself and I can't keep on top of it. I feel like I am always picking up toys, clothes, garbage etc... anyway I know that I am rambling a bit here, so I will get back to my point. None of us are perfect.
I remember a conversation that I had with my sister-in-law once. I was giving her a ride somewhere in my car and appologized for the dirty state it was in. She said "we both have kids... I completely understand." We then moved on to talk about other ways in which people can be silly with personal expectations. For example, when company is coming over, we all find ourselves in a cleaning frenzy that can start days before said company will even show up. One of the main things that we all seem to need to have done is the dishes. I mean come on, we all eat! What is wrong with having a few dishes in the sink if company comes over... are they going to think "Oh my gosh! They eat food! I am never coming back here again!"
One other thing that you will notice about me when I am pregnant, I ramble alot. I will jump from one topic to the next without much preamble and hope that somehow I can find a way to tie it all together. Here is my attempt, we are not perfect, we are far from perfect. I am not a wonderful housekeeper but my kids are always clean, fed, and happy. I do the best that I can and hope that it is good enough.
