NOT the perfect mom, NOT the perfect wife

I doubt that I will shock anyone with this news. I doubt that its even news at all, but I am NOT the perfect mother nor am I the perfect wife. And for this I am NOT sorry. I am just stating the facts. I don't think it is any wife or mothers job to be perfect. We just need to try our best. I have so much in me that I feel like I don't ever get to tap into. I sometimes blame other people, which is just the easy way out. Dreams are great things to have but sometimes I think that when we have to put them on hold we loss sight of them or just simply miss place them. I don't want anyone to think that I am asking for a different job. I LOVE my family and would never change jobs. Being a stay at home mom is a great challenge and a promotion from any other job that I can think of. However we are so worried about "Knowing it all" that we are afraid to admit that we have so much to learn. So I ask this question. What happens when we know it all? Well this truly will never happen. It NEVER has to ANYONE. Only God is the one that this has taken place with. Our life it like a library of books: adventures, biography's, romance novels (even if they are in our mind only)lol, "how to books" and so on. We need not worry about making sure people are aware that we " know it all". When they want to know they will simply come to this great library that you call  life and ask you if they may inquire about the book wich interest them the most. Meanwhile we need to not be afraid of taking it all in. Learning more and more each day. Making the most of what we can so us and the people around us can have a better and more fulfilling life. So to sum it up.....I am not the perfect mother nor wife, and for this I am grateful. This gives me the wonderful chance to keep learning from so many things, my kids, my husband, from friends and family. So be grateful that you aren't perfect. Let that be the chance that you can take advantage of.
