Life Got In The Way

Do you ever think you want to be someone you're not? Or are you okay with the craziness – you know, the stuff real life is made of. Not the perfectly landscaped yard, but the one with toys strewn about. The house that looks lived in, not immaculate.

We all have good intentions – high expectations for ourselves. One thing's for sure, I'm so far from following through on those intentions or meeting my own expectations, it isn't even funny. I go to work each morning and do my best to get through the day. We come home, eat dinner, and then it's bedtime for a certain little someone. After that, I'm lucky if I get my work done much less anything else. There comes a point when I'm so exhausted that I practically fall into bed. And you know what? That's okay.

These days, all of those cool projects I pinned are just that and nothing more. The awesome meals I want to make from scratch – yea, that isn't happening anytime soon either. Life got in the way.

One mom wrote an awesome essay about how she always wanted… but then life happened. I can totally relate to this. It's just the way it is. Life is all kinds of crazy, yet still wonderful. Check it out on the next page.
