I'm Not Who You Think I Am
I'm sitting on the couch during nap time. My 5-year-old, 4-year-old, 2-year-old, 1-year-old, and 7-week-old are all asleep. Every. Single. One. It's hard not to feel on top of the world when I have had a successful day [insert: moment, afternoon, week, etc.]. But what about those days when things don't go so well? I've found that, as a mother of multiple children, so close in age, I get a lot of comments. Encouraging comments, mind you. "I don't know how you do it." "You're my hero." "You are an inspiration." These kinds of comments give me a little boost on those days when I'm not feeling so great, but at the same time, I want to argue back. I suspect it's both due to insecurities, as well as the desire to avoid contributing to the "social media lives" epidemic we have in our society. Regardless, this is a blog for you. The mom, parent, friend, teacher, pastor... whoever you are... that thinks I have things togeth...
