hey, it's ok

if you can knit nothing but scarves and hats.

to watch Extreme Makeover and feel curious about what difference a lipo would make in your life.

to think you're so cool because you just bought this book and a copy of this magazine.

if you want to write a book but still don't know what about.

to clamour for attention and crave for validation. and comments.

to feel inadequate sometimes and think you should be recalled by whoever has manufactured you.

to shuffle through life with that fretful panting, desperate for meaning and a sense of purpose.

and unashamedly tell everyone about that day when your son came up to you saying his index finger was smelling like poop and stuck it up your nose.

to want to be a super mom.

yes, it IS ok!
that poop-smell finger in the nose reminds me of me and what i did to my mom when i was a kid. =) i hope it won't sound too weird for me to say this, but when i read about and see your sons, i sometimes think about me and my brother growing up here in the states.
