Let’s Be Real.

Okay, so I don’t know about you, but people who are fake, hypocritical, two-faced….they annoy me. They annoy me so much that I really do not want to be around them. At all. Especially when you can tell that they are fake, and they are pretending like everything fine, and that they aren’t fake, it just bothers me.

I used to be fake, in a way. I used to fake being happy, when I was probably the most miserable I had ever been. “Fake it till you make it”, right? Only if you keep faking it, you really aren’t making it, are you? Faking it is not a way to live. It’s barely even living. We don’t want to fake anything. Fake being happy, fake being a the sweetest person or faking that you like everyone when in reality you don’t like that many people at all; but yet you fake to like them anyway. I know a couple people like that, and all I can think when I see it is that they must not be happy at home, must not have a happy life, and must be really miserable. Thing is, I don’t know what is going on their life, or why they are the way they are, all I can do is pray for them.

Being real…sometimes we, as moms, pretend to be happy when we are actually really exhausted, and just want a break. We want to get out of the house. No, I am not pretending to be happy right now, I am very happy with my husband and my little girl, and our family! Life isn’t always easy, but I am happy with my family! God has blessed me so much!!

Moms have a very busy and non-ending workload. Moms are never ‘off the clock’. We are always clocked in. Some days are easier than others, but no matter what, we can’t give up. We have a husband and a child depending on us.

I just want to remind us that we need to be real with people. if we have a problem with someone, we should talk to that person; don’t let it keep going and your dislike for that person get worse and what not. Talk to them. If you can tell that they don’t like you or something, talk to them, ask them if there was something you did or whatever the problem is. Be real with people. Talk to someone. There are people you can talk to. Talk to your husband about what is bothering you, tell him that you’re tired and would like a break, tell him whatever you need. Take a hot bubble bath, take a little nap while he watches the baby, tell him what you need. It will be okay. For better or for worse. Right?!

I know it has been awhile since I have blogged, but mom life got a bit busy! I will try to do better though! Writing is something I do, or try to do, to relax. Writing helps me get things out! Sometimes I think I write better than I talk, if that makes sense. I know I’m kind of all over the place in this blog, I’m sorry. My mind is kind of all over the place tonight.

But on a happier note, our little girl is two months old! She turned two months old yesterday! It’s crazy how it has already been two months! There’s been a lot less sleep and a lot of tears, but I wouldn’t trade them for anything! I love my husband, and I love our little girl! Sometimes it is still hard to believe that I’m a mom, but I love it! Especially that I’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day this year! This time last year, I did not think that I would be celebrating it the next time it came around. But I love my little family! God has blessed us so much!

This is a shorter blog than my others, but I just want to remind you, maybe even challenge you – be real this week (and every week). If there is someone you think doesn’t like you or maybe it’s something that you don’t really like, talk to them. Just a thought. If there is anything you need me to pray for, I’m here. Send me a message.
