Are you Perfect??

A question I used to ask myself.  Society, parents, family and strangers... always trying to make us feel perfect.  The perfect house, the perfect life, the perfect kids, and the perfect amount of income.  Well I have decided I refuse to be perfect.  I will no longer try to form into the mold that society wants us to become.

I have brown hair that I havn't seen since I was about 16.  I was that perfect blonde or funky red.  Though I do love my reds!  Google Cat from Victorious.  That is my favorite color.  I am no longer hiding me.  I am slowly growing out my brown.  Red highlights here I come!  There is nothing wrong with fixing your image to what YOU like.  You don't need to have that Barbie figure.  If you got some killer thighs, Rock that!  I have a very bodacious butt and you best believe I love it!  I will not and refuse to conform to society's stick figure image.

I am not the perfect wife or perfect mom.  I am a terrible house wife.  I LOVE my family and will do anything for them!   I am not very good at cooking.  I  can't make any sort of pork, fish or ham.  We don't always shop healthy or support the right causes but I do my best.  And guess what, thats good enough!  I try and I put effort into it.  Want to know something else?  I start sentences with AND!  And I don't care, because this is a blog not a paper.

I will change for myself and no one else.  Don't think that's right?  Ask me a little bit more.  To clarify, don't assume.  I want to change things that will help me better myself or my family.  Therefore, it is changing for myself.

I am proud of who I am and who I have become.  No one will make me feel bad about myself or that I need to be "perfect" because guess what?  That is something I will never become.

I am very selfless but I am selfish when it comes to becoming myself.  I need to be.  To be a healthy mom and wife I have to.

a best friend..

So I sit here creeping on facebook (of course) and I don't know why, but I realize I don't have a best friend.  I mean, I have my girls who are my best friends but they are more like sisters.  Family for sure.  I just want that one best friend you can't be without.  That you can depend on for everything.  The girls are AMAZING! Don't get me wrong, but none of them are where I am at.  For me to call them up and be like "omg, D just shit on the floor what do I do.."  they don't get that.  None are married or have kids.  I just want that one best friend that is kind of like me.  That understands being a mother or a wife.  Who I can giggle about sex and girl talk, but also be completely serious about raising the kids or my babysitter.  One I can go shopping with and for her to just get me.  That can pick out that perfect outfit.  If you have a BEST friend then you know exactly what I am talking about.  I know it sounds crazy and some think its dumb, but I want a friend that understands.  No, not perfect but one who just gets me.  I'm that person that only keeps good close friends.  I'm not fake.  I'm a faithful friend and maybe its just because I have too many good friends?  I don't know.
:) Friend shopping anyone? haha
