I was thinking about some blogs I read, and the inspiration I gather from them. BUT every once in awhile, I have to take a break from blog reading. I tend to just get down on myself because of the lack of talent I have. I was not given the natural photography skills or the decorating skills. So when I read blogs of moms with small kids and their projects/houses/ideas are awesome some times I just want to fuhreak out. I mean is this FOR REAL????
However, this is not really the point of this post. Really, I decided that there are a ton of things that I do that take talent…it is just not documented appropriately. Mainly because I just get the slim chance to take pics with my phone as my kids go flying past me in some sort of race, or while trying to catch my baby make a break for the stairs (which I actually DID take pictures of to document, but OBVIOUSLY haven’t posted). However, I will list a couple reasons why I am so very talented:
1. Last week my entire family (including myself) got a double whammy stomach virus. What does this have to do with me being awesome?? I did all the laundry. I know, right! (for those of you who don’t really understand what that means..I stripped all the bed sheets with the spewed organic matter, rinsed them off, then put them in the laundry. Also, I washed said child who of course was also soaked. MULTIPLE TIMES!)
2. I made homemade poptarts because I can’t bring myself to buy the ones at the store that are made from who knows what.
3. I figured out what would finally motivate my son to stop wearing diapers, hello raise!
4. Started my girl on chores and she actually did them, goodbye raise!
It’s easy to get down on yourself because you weren’t hit with the creative/decorator/chef gene…but ya know…my kids are healthy and have a mom that works hard to take care of them. So all in all, I’m doing ok.
dont feel bad. i have abandoned my full on site & just post daily pictures with very few words to describe “what just happened with either one or both boys, my husband, dog or myself”
i think you are pretty awesome.
You must tell me about poptarts from scratch! I can’t bring myself to buy the who-knows-what “real” poptarts, and the “natural” ones are expensive AND don’t taste that good. So I’m very impressed! 🙂
So glad to see this. 🙂 My mom always thinks that she’s not good at stuff too but y’all are the sort of women/mothers that deserve superhero status. I’m not joking, just because what you’re amazing at isn’t as easily bloggable doesn’t mean you aren’t insanely gifted.
… and I hope y’all are all feeling better now!
Love this post. You are so good at so much! Glad you can see that and are choosing to focus on that!
