Wow. I find it interesting that your critic didn't choose to leave her name! Apparently not wanting anybody to challenge her, huh? Keep on keepin' on, Bethany! You're an inspiration to other moms out there, you really are. I just LOL when I read that you didn't shower. I SO know where you're coming from! My problem is hot flashes so if I don't shower, it's nasty. LOL.

Get a life yourself.. and you wouldn't be so critical of others. Geeeeez...<br /><br />Bethany I am a loyal blog stalker of yours. LOL Sadly I don't reply much to my blog writers.. but had to today. I have been following your blog for a couple of years, and honestly I admire you and all of your desire to accomplish so much in each and every day! You are a whirlwind of creativity, honesty, love and activity! I think you are awesomeness, and always seem to be doing the very best that you can with such a positive attitude. Life gets in the way.. and you are never shy in sharing with us when this happens to you. I love that you admit this to us all of the time.. yeah.. you keep it real. Don't ever stop... it's completely endearing.. and makes you extra sweet!!<br /><br />Thank you oodles of zoodles for all of the truly fabulous wordart gifts.

I read it just about every day and I love reading how in depth you are! I'm a mom of 6, with a son who is old enough to babysit and I relate 100% to what you said! I love that I have a little more freedom now. I work very hard as a mom, and sometimes I need a break! In fact, sometimes, your blog inspires me to get out a little more! I think the sacrifices your hubby makes is awesome! I've also had my husband in a bishopric at one time, and it is a lot of work on both sides. And I think it is very cool that you let your hubby have his hobby! My hubby's hobby is WOW and there are evenings when he is lost on his computer and I'm lost on mine, and it's totally okay! We still know we love each other!<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to say that I think you're awesome! Keep up your blogging!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549347599083193967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-73208399191060412202010-02-15T18:28:00.461-05:002010-02-15T18:28:00.461-05:00Ok I leave comments as anonymous but only because ...Ok I leave comments as anonymous but only because I don't this account or that account or even my own blog, but I do at least leave my name.

You are a mum to many children, and you still manage to have your life too! I work full time and have two boys, and I stuggle with looking after me!

I adore your word art (which I hope you know because I'm also too lazy to thank you for it every day.)) Anyway, we lead very different lives and I find yours fascinating. I'm closer to twice your age than I am to being the same age as you, I have no children, and the only time I can be found in a church is for weddings, funerals, and the baptism of children of favored friends. You do things differently than I would and sometimes your thinking puzzles me. Other times what you write about is educational. Like eyebrow threading. I'd never heard of it before your blog.<br /><br />I don't want to judge you but if I were pressed I'd say you're refreshingly honest, hard-working, fun to be with, a good mother, and a great wife.mrs_sweetpeachhttp://mrs-sweetpeach.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-41917476507466552552010-02-15T12:49:45.950-05:002010-02-15T12:49:45.950-05:00Bethany, I think you're awesome and amazing. ...Bethany, I think you're awesome and amazing.

I hadn't read your whole blog before I responded; and I just wanted to add that I think it's terrible that you felt you had to defend yourself, but then realized that you just needed to VENT, and I'm sure you feel better now that you got it out of your system. And, also, especially in the winter, it's NOT good to bathe every day - it dries your skin out.

Yeah, I can see why you wrote it anonymous.<br />I am European too and I know people of all different kinds of shower routines, as silly as that sounds.<br />Personally, I never shower at night, but rather in the morning, and only every second day if I didn't get all icky or dirty.<br /><br />Thinking all Americans do this-or-that because of one persons routines is like thinking all Europeans don't shave because Nena (99 Red Balloons) never did.

She is a full time mother, makes this beautiful word art for everyone, and is an active member of her church where she surves countless hours because it is important to her. You want to see my house, because I have three teenagers living here, and I will tell you it has never been spotless. I am happy if the dishes are done and put away and my bathroom is clean. When I see shoes by the front door, that means that my kids are still at home with me. When I see books on the couch, that means my children have done their homework, and when I see a dirty dish that means my family was fed. Maybe your spotless house just symbolizes the emptiness of your life. Parents with nannys have spotless houses too. I go out with my friends too on fun non girls tims, and I am so grateful to my husband when he takes the kids camping and allows me to have a lazy weekend at home. Before you are so quick to judge, you should face your own life, because no one is perfect, and I think those imperfections is what makes an amazing family.Melody Nnoreply@blogger.com
