Welcome to life as we know it

What is OK? The dictionary says “in good health or condition,” good condition . . . is that what we are reduced to? I thought about naming this ‘everyone has a little crazy in them,’ which is true if you think about it. Maybe I am saying that just to make me feel better, but we all know it is true (ok you should be nodding your head up and down right now).

Each of you think about it, do you sit there at times and wonder if you are sane? You know thinking about the grocery store, bills need to be paid, the house is a mess, laundry has to be done, your kids need help with homework, dinner has to be made, your skin is sagging, your boobs are moving south with your butt, and the list goes on and on. And during all of this, you question your sanity. Am I right?

Weather it be not wanting to leave the house, staying away from home, anger issues, sex issues, shopping issues, addiction issues, it can be so many different things that make us a little crazy, but we must learn to embrace it.

Who said we had to be OK, or that what we are isn’t? It must have been a man. I mean even back in the early days everything was even harder for women. They didn’t have any of the modern conveniences we have. Of course they didn’t know any better at the time, but they must have had the same issues we have today and then some.

Can you imagine, our whole life would be the family and the kids 24/7. We would have to dress up in skirts and petticoats, wake up early and make breakfast for the whole family, clean the house while keeping a smile on your face, iron all the clothes, make lunch, dinner, entertain guests, keep the house immaculate and basically fill every need for the family from sunup to sundown. Not that I don’t strive to do the same, but gosh all this and without television?

I love these shows on today where they have folks like Rachel Ray and Martha Stewart whipping up gourmet meals in the cutest little outfits, hair just perfectly done, makeup perfectly applied and the kitchen is impeccable. Now flash back into real life, the one not on TV. We don’t have nanny’s, housekeepers, personnel chefs, assistants and personnel trainers to name a few helps they have.

We cook what we can the best we can while doing laundry and helping the kids with homework. Hair is up in a clip, makeup is half off, and sweats or shorts and a t shirt is as good as it gets.
