Sometimes I feel so extremely inadequate after reading other people's blogs.
That probably makes me really lame. I don't think anybody even reads this thing, let alone follows it. I liked it that way because I wanted to maintain some sense or privacy but after reading all of these fun, young blogs, I kind of want that too.
They all have cute babies. Cute husbands. Perfect clothes. Cute apartments.
I have zero of that. I have a cute kid who's not mine, a cute boyfriend, clothes and an apartment but don't have the access to a money train to get either of them cute. I do have a cute dog though so points scored there!
I wonder how it's done.
I think the first thing I would need to do is quit my job. Most of the awesome blogs I read appear to be stay-at-home mom's and while that rocks for them, is not feasible for me. Unless we don't want to eat or have a car or an apartment.
Maybe I need to get myself a button and link to other blogs. I also need to become more of a commenter. I'm notorious for reading and running.
Or I just need a more interesting life.
Although I don't have a cute baby, or husband, or the perfect clothes, my life is pretty sweet. I'm working hard for what I want and I will eventually have all of those things. By then, people may not read blogs anymore but that's okay.
Aha! We've found each other at last. I just knew there had to be another oddball blogger out there... Somewhere.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me :-) big surprise, I just stumbled on your blog tonight and thought I would say Howdy!
My name is Ann. I am a 22 year old, untattooed, unvegan, *single* gal of the Christian stay at home set who actually grew up in the ghetto and knows what's it's like to work outside the home- or starve.
I'm here to say, hang in there. It's hard to not have everything all pat and set, or 'cute' (Heaven knows cute is the last word I would use to describe anything about me) but, let's face it- life can be pretty wild and exciting on the uncute side :-)
Trust in the Lord. The race is not to the swift, nor the strong... Or the cute.
Keep up a good heart, girl!
Sorry for invading your blog comments :-)
I know I have a cute baby and husband, but I'm sure you know from my multiple blog complaints that my clothes are anything but cute {well, most of them, and the ones that ARE barely fit lol} and my house is full of second hand furniture & empty space.
ReplyDeleteBut I know what you mean about reading other peoples' blogs and feeling inadequate! It happens to me all the time.
