john and the kids are on spring break this week (and so is my mother,our children's caregiver, who is M I A .... sort of.... somewhere in nevada. ha!) so while I'm slaving away at my day job he is out romping around with our 4 children at disney's california adventure park. our annual passes expire in june so we're taking major advantage. of course dominic is a tazmania devil and loves to run amuck. there's an open court area right across the bay from this ferris wheel where you can sit and enjoy the view. it's the p e r f e c t place for dominic because of its wide open spaces and rows of open ascending seats. he just runs up and down and across and back again over and over and over and over again and again and again and again. wish i had this kid's energy. lucky for us we have the teenager,princess J and sean to chase after him on our behalf.

HE SAID/SHE SAID
before heading out to california adventure john calls me at work because he could not find the mini-cooler. so he goes on to rant about how i never put things away where they belong. so i sarcastically spew out some places where he can look (under the table, on the chair, here, there, everywhere). he said he knows how to look for things he was just frustrated that it wasn't where it belonged. so i said 'sorry i'm not perfect!' and hung up on him. then i had an emotional moment because i felt guilty about not being perfect. then i got mad at myself for feeling guilty about that. i am not perfect nor should i feel guilty about not having the household in total order. there. words to live by. he found the mini-cooler by the way. typical john.
(thanks L for being there by no small coincidence i'm sure of that.....)
ohhh...sweetie I know exactly how you feel. Man i try to be perfect. I try to be everything that everyone needs...
i have major guilt issues. I feel like i must say "YES" to everything.
Must make sure I don't let anyone down.
i totally relate. thanks for putting it out there and letting me so im not the only one.
