Do you ever feel like a failure?
I feel like a failure today - in all areas. As a mom, a homemaker, a business owner, as a wife, as a blogger and as a someone who has a relationship with God. Or not very strong relationship with God - we haven't talked a lot or spent much time together lately.
It's funny - I really enjoy blogging and keeping up with people I have known for years and years - getting to know them really, in a different way - and people who I met in the blogosphere, but some days I feel like a failure in comparison to other moms.
I am definitely not supermom like some of these moms seem. And I don't know if it is because the only parts of their lives that I know is their blogs and you put only what you want on your blog, but I feel like I will never measure up to a lot of these other moms.
I find it all comes down to comparisons... my comparing myself to other moms, other wives, other bloggers, other people in my life of business. And I am not measuring up.
Tomorrow starts another month - a new, fresh month... one that has no mistakes, no preconceived notions, no need for regrets. I get to start anew and be the best that I can be.
Here's to April!

I can so relate to that! In talking with a friend last night I found I was not as "alone" as I thought. You're not either.
"...His mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning, new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness O God, great is Thy faithfulness..." That song always cheers me up as I anticipate a new day(month).
Here's to April!
that comparison thing is a killer. it hurts... but you are right we get a fresh start. blessings on you and yours.
Most supermoms only have to deal with one kid at a time...
you have two at one time, plus a toddler and a 33er. Plus a business owner, sex goddess, mini-van driver, and Mac user...
I think if we took a straw poll... you would be the one who others idolize as a SuperMom and who others compare themselves to!!!
That's what I've been learning so much about lately -- comparison. It's just about enough to drive a person crazy. Not only when judge ourselves against others, but when others judge us, or us THINKING people are judging us. It's horrible and infuriating.
I like that I'm slowly stepping out of that cycle and am learning to just be "me". Because "just me" is good. And so is "just you".
Wishing you a very nice day today. :)
We've all been there Rayna...keep your chin up!
"What does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God."
That's it.
Give those kids a squish and your husband a kiss and have a great day!!!
