Reality

I'll be honest.  I like to focus on the positive.  I like to envision myself always looking like this:

Reality is . . .

Sometimes my boots get muddy and my pants get caught in my boots.  

(How embarrassing!)

I envision my house looking like this:

Reality is . . .

 For the first time in my mothering career I had a child decorate their crib with poop, yes poop.

I envision my children dressed in coordinating outfits and smiling.

 Reality is . . .

 I think they are just as cute after they storm downstairs to play and let their imaginations run wild.  

I envision my kids so loving and fun:

 Reality is . . .

 Sometimes they collapse in a public restroom because they just don't want to go potty.

I envison my children achieving greatness:

Reality is . . .

There are a lot of bumps that happen along the road to greatness!
