this picture is too perfect

This is the type of picture I typically find on mommy blogs and think, "Their life must be perfect." I'm posting this because just because someone else's life may look glamorous and ideal, I guarantee it's not. This photo is kind of a lie, because this is not my life, like at all. Well, at least not most of the time. Seriously, yesterday was one of the longest, worst days of motherhood. Guys, I'm not even trying to be melodramatic; it really was the poopiest day ever. Everything and nothing went wrong. It was just really hard and I felt like every mess I cleaned was pointless, every timeout session was a waste of time, I played referee all day making sure Pipsqueak wasn't killed by her older sister, and my day just kind of sucked. 

So when I look at blogs with fun, happy pictures of families doing awesome things with perfectly behaved children, I tell myself, "They have poopy days, too, and they're only posting the good stuff." Well, at least I hope that's true! And because pictures like these don't happen to me often, I'll just stick with portraying my life of motherhood as glamorized martyrdom!
