the other day a mom said she thought it was great how organised i am. and how it's super that i can get so much done and still look so good! i often wonder at these comments.
i see them as disguised compliments really. the ones that say "you look so good" make me want to say 'so i looked really awful the last time you saw me?'
i don't have the courage to say those sarcastic comments aloud. since i believe in my heart that i am being complimented, i just say "thank you" and then try to say that it's really no big deal, i just do what i do to get by the best that i can!
but it keeps me wondering. how should i look? how should i act? should i have that harried housewife, mom to many, crazed look? i'd much rather channel june cleaver than roseanne or peg bundy!! i don't need to be perfect, although it's quite selfish to let everyone think that i have it all together. knowing deep inside that i'm that duck paddling like crazy under the water!
~the end~
