On Becca's blog she posted a challenge to list 10 "real" things about yourself. I did not think it would be that hard but I have been trying to post this for a couple days now!
- I still struggle daily with the fact that I got pregnant young and they get that " I am counting exactly how old you were in my head look"that they will think I was just some hoochy. I was NOT and am NOT a hoochy!!! I swear and I am so blessed to have my sweet boys.
- I feel like I am in the "out crowd" sometimes in church settings because I am divorced and remarried don't have the perfect little family. I love my big blended crazy family.
- I struggle to stay in my bible like I should. It hurts me but still it seems I always am going too and things come up and I put it off.
- I am so worried about what other people think...
- I always feel guilty when people write about that people are"lurking" on their blogs because I love toread but I don't always comment in fear that they don't like me or don't know me. I am shy in real life, until people talk to me first
- I don't like my body,and I really don't like that the fact that I have put on 25 pounds since I got remarried! Ugh that is really hard to say
- I struggle that I am not a good enough mom to my kids. All of them. I worry that the boys will resent me for not being there more, I worry that Drew and the twins will think I don't love them becasue they aren't my real kids, I worry that grace will think that she has horrific parents because all her brothers and sister don't live with us.
- I try so hard to have that "perfect" home, but I have dishes and laundry and dusty shelves etc...
- I love politics! love love love
- When I am sad or Dean goes TDY or gets deployed I buy double stuffed Oreos and cottage cheese and dorritos. Maybe that would account for the weight gain!! :)
Well that is 10 very real things about me. I challenge you to "get real" as well. Thanks Becca for the challenge!

Thanks for playing along! I think it will inspire a lot of people (including me).
I loved your list. :) When Jeff is out of town, I eat junk too. And I think your body is beautiful...in a non lesbian way. haha I had no idea you were into politics. That is one thing that always goes over my head. Jeff and I are watching episodes of the West Wing and he's always having to stop the DVD and explain something to me because I just don't get it. :)
I don't know why people post things about bloggers, sometimes it is weird how I find blogs like this one. But that is why we blog. Most people look at their comments before posting. So I just comment and if they don't like what I have to say then they just delete it.
It is curse really.
Also sounds like someone needs to take sadness and turn it into endorphins.
