"I'm not a failure!"

I read this blog entry that was posted the other day on the mommy's board I frequent and it really spoke to me. This is one of the most helpful blog posts that I've ever read! I have been suffering from panic attacks of sorts more than usual lately. I find it hard to get through the day sometimes. My daughter can be a stinker! My dishes are never done, my house is always a wreck and the laundry will never, ever be fully caught up. But if you judge according to what you see on Facebook, some blogs, and Pinterest, it feels like unbearable pressure to be perfect all the time. Reading this blog post is very uplifting. I felt a lot of stress melt away this week. I have to stop putting so much pressure on myself before I crack! This house will probably never be as clean as my parents house or some of my friends, but that's ok. Because Zoe is happy and that is all that matters! She and I read stories, listen to music, she dances, we play with mega bloks, she sings, and she is learning new words everyday! Our life isn't perfect, but it's ours and I love it!
