You know.... it kind of bothers me when people throw at you that your life is not perfect. Whose is?

My life is filled with flaws. My husband & I argue on occasion. My kids are sometimes wild. My son has his occasional bouts of grade problems in school. I have issues with my self-esteem. My husband has mixed feelings about his job. Sometimes the money is tight around here.

It's all part of life. It's all NORMAL. If everything went well 100% of the time, it would be really boring around here. NO ONE can claim that their life is completely without negativity. There are always day-to-day trials because that's what life IS. We have the negative so we can appreciate the positive.

I am happy in my marriage.... even if we don't always see eye to eye.
I absolutely adore my children... even if they make me want to yank out my hair sometimes.
I've come a long way with my son and our relationship... even if it hasn't always been easy.
I've made a fair amount of peace with my appearance... even though it took me a long time to get there.

As for the "perfect" life..... My life IS perfect in all its imperfections.
