you know that viva paper towel commercial, where the little boy accidentally squirts his mama with orange soda, then she drenches him with the kitchen sprayer? I want to be that mama, to be that laid back and easy going. I would be so upset if my kitchen got that wet; and why? it can be dried, especially if I have viva paper towels.
are personality traits genetic? my mama is pretty uptight and high-strung. I’ve grown used to that, but it irritates me when I recognize those traits in myself. daddy is relaxed almost to the point of obliviousness. I think maybe it’s better to be uptight than oblivious, but I wish I were a little closer to center.
oh, well. I’ll keep trying to calm down and relax, and maybe it will work.

I love your header photo! π
I have had that same thought when watching that commercial. I want to be the fun one. Typically, my husband is more the fun one around here. In the end comparing myself to others gets me nowhere. All I can be is me, and that’s not so bad. Afterall, that fun husband of mine married me, didn’t he. π

ah, melissa, that’s such a healthy way to look at it. you’re right, of course. the funny (scary) thing is, around here, I AM the fun one. and, most times I really am fun, but I think I could be a lot more so.
