I think you’ve made some truly interesting points. Not too many people would actually think about this the way you just did. I am really impressed that there is so much information about this subject that have been uncovered and you did it so well, with so much class. Thanks.

Oh Kacie you are so normal!!! Don’t worry too much about your son’s diet. I remember when my twin girls were his age and I was frantic about their food intake. My dr told me because their tummies are so small, you aim for a healthy diet over a week. Some days they won’t eat well, then they eat everything on their plate. Plus they don’t need the big portions that we do to make our daily allowances.

I too suffer from chronic depression and anxiety and it can be rough. We moved to NJ 12 years ago and I had no friends. It was a great time for us but I was really lonely at home with the girls, then my infant son. A year later a Moms Club started in my neighborhood and my girls started school and I found some great friends. Some of them I consider my best friends in the world.

No one’s perfect although I can see why your new friend might have thought that. She will come to see you as a normal person with a gift for words.

Have a great semester teaching!

It was superb listening to you adnit your weaknesses.Very often,we form stereotyped impressions and start feeling low on reading apparently glowing accounts.

Karen! You’re my fave.

I now do know that bloggers blog about what they wanna and we don’t always get a total picture. I think that’s totally fine, because when you came to my house for a playdate, you betcha I cleaned up in advance! If you popped in the day before unexpectedly, you would have found a big ol mess.

Same with bloggging. Sometimes I share my struggles and failures, but mostly I try to keep things encouraging. It’s not like you’re trying to paint yourself as someone who is always on it, all the time.

So I think you are awesome and real and I like you and your blog. A lot!

Oh and if the trolls come out of the woodwork ever, lemme at ’em!

I enjoy reading your blog, and have never felt that you made your life sound perfect. Even though I am at a totally different life stage (older, older kids, etc.) I enjoy learning new things from you. I feel you have started a little community where people encourage each other through the rough spots. We are all works in progress, and can all lift each other up during the tough times. Keep up the good work!!

I think you are an inspiration to a lot of people for just who you are. You are a wonderful person, and I’m so glad to call you a friend. You’ve helped me out tremendously by just being you. I know there are many times I’ve told you crazy, crazy things and not been afraid that you would judge me or make me feel stupid. You are a great friend, and never forget that!

We all make mistakes and fail at something every single day. Every day as I am trying to get 4 kids out the door and on the bus I seem to lose my temper. Every day I regret it. When I stop at Bruegger’s and grab lunch instead of coming home I regret it. No one is perfect. I know when things are going badly for me the last thing I want to do is blog because I know that my readers don’t want to hear nothing but complaints. Eventually I plaster on a fake grin and write something anyway but it isn’t always easy. We all have our struggles that no one sees. I am sure that you – like most people – are doing the best you can.
