don't be fooled

The other day I was talking texting with my college roomie, and she said something like, "I need to catch up with you on the songs and coloring!" To which I responded, "Don't be fooled. Most of the time we're just sitting around eating Cheerios and trying not to drool on the floor."

Which got me thinking: Maybe I should make things a little more clear on my blog too. We don't have it all together.

If you don't believe me:

*Yesterday I just totally blanked on changing Blythe's diaper in the morning. She woke up at 7:30. At NOON I realized she had leaked.*

*I haven't folded clothes at all in the month of September.*

*In my fridge there is less than half a container of sour cream, half a bag of cheese, three apples, some milk, and a loaf of bread. That's it. Well…that's it after I had Brent go dump three containers of "stuff" that had gotten moldy.*

*Let's not talk about my kitchen floor.*

*We ate Subway twice last week for supper. [I'm trying not to add any justifications to these, but it is softball season…]*

*Blythe hasn't eaten a green veggie in I don't know how long. She refuses.*

*We went two days without a roll of toilet paper in our house. I used a napkin once.*

A little blurry…but we're all in it for once! 

I could keep going, and I feel like at this point you believe me when I say that, but I'll stop there. So don't be fooled-- we don't have it all together and we're just getting by and loving each other the best we can! Give yourself a little grace if you are too!
