Tell me you can relate:
Sitting at the computer - leisurely in pajamas, kids running around looking like orphans, hair is hand brushed back into a pony tail, teeth are severely in need of a brush, and you keep thinking - okay, I am pretty sure I can squeeze in a shower within the next 20 minutes - or at least before the Beloved gets home in 8 hours... trying to scan through peoples blogs as quickly as possible and the last one you fall on has to be one of those "really productive mom's blogs"...ohhhhh... it's a killer to my pride.
You know what kind of blog I am talking about - Mom looks great! Kids look great! Has canned everything under the sun plus has made 52 dozen loaves of bread, is on top of her garden, and your pretty sure she has already made her families breakfast, lunch, and dinner into freezer meals so she can just pull them out on demand -
So now I am thinking - great - I better learn how to do something new today.... so I can be successful in life and develop my talents, blah blah blah blah blah -
This leads me to calling my sisters - because they are these disgusting types of moms I am talking about :) and I hurry and write down their bread recipe.
I make bread - two loaves... soooo delicious!!!! I am thanking that "productive mother's blog" for guilting me into baking something wonderful - and then I weigh myself. I GAINED FIVE POUNDS ALL IN THE NAME OF BEING PRODUCTIVE! I should never have learned - bread is my biggest temptation - well coupled together with Pepsi. When the Beloved and I were first dating he ran to the convenient store to grab us a treat - He politely asked what I wanted - so I answered, "Pepsi and bread -" "Pepsi and bread?" "Yes." "Like a loaf?" "Oh, a loaf would be perfect, thank you very much!" You get the point....
So, as not to offend anyone - I love that you are on the ball and I bet your families appreciate you so incredibly much - I love that you are talented and I really do admire you - But, please don't be productive in the food department for at least a month... I am weak and seriously lack self discipline...you will make me cry :(

love it!!! your blog is the cutest thing I've ever seen, and I like that it comes to my email now so I can stay on top of it.
Alright, since you just called yesterday that was a really quick five pounds... Could it possibly have something to do with living by a Pepsi factory?
Maybe you need a wheat grinder for that little bit of extra fiber to go with your(our)indulgences.
I think you are the cutest thing, too. Well, maybe after your kids and obviously my kids...and those other kids in Arizona.
You're totally talking about Jessica Harwood hu!?haha I just figured cuz she just blogged about canning/garden/jam/bread. Pretty sure you have 3 kids...and they ARE BOYS that tops anything any of us could ever do. Hooray to gaining weight and bloggging I say:)
Shoot... it was too obvious - Sorry Jessica -Please come and be my mom because you seem like the perfect one :) even if it does make me fatter -:)
Ha ha. I could tell that too. Part of me wonders how much of it is real. I always wonder in church when people say they read their scriptures at 6 am, say 4 prayers a day and never miss a family home evening, am I the only loser or are people not telling the whole truth? I love your post, I love you. I am glad you gained weight, tee hee, your so skinny it probably is good for ya.
Oh, and the girl you described, that's totally me. Some days I don't even have pajamas on, just my g's. It's so bad that right when we get home, Katelyn strips down and puts on jammies. I at least waited until I was married, she's in trouble. Ha.
You are all too funny! Do Moms like that really exsist?? They're making it all up to make us look bad :)....aren't they? Oh yah, I figured you were talking about Jessica too! LOL!!
You always crack me up. I seriously joined Weight Watchers today so I feel your pain. I am 20 pounds heavier than when I married. Ok there I said it.
This is "Jessica"...that PERFECT mother you're all jealous of. Well, just for the record I showed up at church all sweaty because I couldn't find Tyler's pants and it was time to go and I was searching all over the house for them. I put his shirt on once we got there...Church is at 1 O'CLOCK!!! You think I could have it together by then! I almost took pictures of my tornado of a house yesterday...just to prove to you all that, yes, I can do things, but I am still just a normal gal trying to be a good mom and not quite hitting the bar most of the time! Too funny!!! :)
