I do like to wake up and shower and put on makeup, but this does not mean I "have it all together". However, I guess it appears that way sometimes to others.
A cute new friend of mine at preschool exclaimed one day, "How do you do it? You are so put together, and you have to get five children dressed and out the door. You are here, calm and collected, and I have 2 children and have lost a shoe and feel very frazzled!"
I assured her that I do not "have it all together" and that looks can be deceiving, but she didn't seem to believe me. Later that very same morning, I went to the bathroom. I wear a lot of pants, but I happened to be in a dress with tights and boots that particular morning. In the bathroom, I realized my underwear was on "caddy wampus", as my mama says!! I had the sides where the middle should be. Since I was wearing tights and boots, I decided it was too much trouble to correct it, so I walked around all day with my underwear wrong! I laughed out loud when I saw it!! I could hardly wait to find H back at school. I ran up to her when I spotted her, and let her know what had happened. LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!
Blog friends, we all struggle and no one has it all together... unless they have a lot of help! And even then, we all have faults, though some hide them better than others:).

I love you! :)
Cute post. I was led here because you used "caddywampus" in your post and that's the title of my blog.
So great...I often feel like I don't have it together and after reading blogs I usually feel worse. As much as I love the blogs I have found, I sometimes wonder if I should give it up all together because they often leaving me feeling less than adequate. Then I give myself that little pep talk that you just gave me, looks can be deceiving! We all have our good days and our bad days, don't we?
I hope you are well amidst your move! Happy New Year!
