Disclaimer-I wrote this when I was pissed off the other day and needed to vent. Figured even though I am not angry and more that I should still post it.
I am not perfect-Yet I always wish that I was
If I was perfect maybe life would be easier
If I was perfect I would make more money and be able to save it better
If I was perfect I would cook amazingly healthy meals that everyone loves on a shoestring budget
If I was perfect the house would always be clean and everything would be in its place-Including my hair
If I was perfect our kids would always be well behaved, never make a mess, and speak in soft voices because I am that good of a mother
If I was perfect my body would stay the same In some places and get super skinny in others
If I was perfect our life might be different-but I am not
I am messy, I am disorganized, I am forgetful
But I am a damn good mom, friend, and teacher who loves with all of her heart and believes in the best of people even to a fault
I am complicated, I am sleep deprived, I am cranky, I am stressed
But I find the joy in an many little and crazy things as possible, even laughing when I should be crying
I am dramatic, I am funny, I am snarky
I AM ME
And maybe, just maybe that is what perfect is
I AM PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

You. Go. Girl.
You are amazing. And, it's the imperfections that make us lovable and humble and interesting, don't you think?
Cheers!
I do...I think sometimes though some people in my life expect a lot of me that often times I can't deliver...but my relationships just like myself are a work in progress
This could totally be a poem! Go you!
