I guess it is easy to hide behind my posts and appear that everything is going well by posting happy pictures. But to be honest, in the past three weeks I have been frustrated, stressed, discouraged, and tired. There have definitely been good moments and fun times, but overall, not something I care to repeat again.
Stephen has been gone all week on a missions trip, I have had meetings every night this week and have hardly seen the kids, work is ridiculously overwhelming, and church has been discouraging - and that might not even be a strong enough word. I feel like every area of my life (church, work, home) is going crazy right now!!
I know that I have so much to be thankful for, I need to quit focusing on the negatives, and put my life into perspective when so many other people have it worse than me, but today is one of those days that I need to just need to share my selfish, self-centered thoughts...
Is anyone else so excited it is Friday they could cry?!? :)

Not that I'm going to cry, but I have definite, wonderful thoughts that 5 weeks are done, and I only have 31 more school weeks till summer again. :~)
I got P Jason and Nicole's to work so hope this one does too! Mom
Last I checked, you were not Superwoman so I'm pretty sure you're allowed to get frustrated, discouraged, pissed, etc. (Sorry for my French...)
There is an unfortunate expectation on pastor's wives to be absolutely perfect... almost robotic! You are to be sweet, but not too sweet (affairs), kind but not too kind (favoritism), honest but not too honest(hurt feelings), strong but not too strong (submissive issues), and completely devoid of self (HAH! You're HUMAN!)
If I were going through all that crap, I'd be strapped to a table in a looney bin. Just one of the things makes me want to hide in a cave forever(but my husband won't let me).
If you ever want to talk, vent, scream, cry, shout, giggle, curse, scream (did I already say that?) well then I'm your girl. I'm all about being real and hate superficiality. I'm not good at it.
Thank you for being raw and real. You seem more human to me now... but you're still Wonder Woman... maybe not Supergirl, but DEFINITELY Wonder Woman!
I appreciate you being so real with us! I wonder sometimes how my blog protrays me too. I definitely want to be real but it is sometimes easier to post only about the fun stuff! We all go through hard stuff from time to time!! (ME included) Grace and Dax are going through this whiney stage that is driving me nuts-oid right now!! Well, thanks again for your honesty and I can't wait to talk more face to face this next weekend!!
