Sanj&#8217;s comment was &#8220;honest, very honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OK&#8230; here is the thing.  I am writing with the assumption that  there is not a perfect family out there.  I am writing with the assumption that most parents mess up.  Now I realize this may not be the truth for some&#8230; but I am pretending that perfection is not a reality.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I am in denial&#8230;   but if so&#8230; those of you with perfect families and perfect parenting skills&#8230; please just be quiet and let me live in my world.<\/p>\n<p>I assume that most people love their children to death and would do anything for them&#8230; yet can&#8217;t help but be driven crazy by them once in a while.  Or maybe this is just me&#8230; with kids that outnumber me!<\/p>\n<p>I assume most people have families full of issues.  But maybe I just make myself feel better thinking this.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless&#8230; I write for the number one reason to express and release emotions.  I love how writing leaves me feeling like I just had a good yawn&#8230; a great exhale of breathe.  I love how I understand myself better as I read what I wrote.  Silly, but I may not always know the thoughts that will come out &#8230; yet then realize that is just what I needed to vent.<\/p>\n<p>I write for me.  Sometimes I write for my kids.  Sometimes I write knowing that someone I love needs to hear my thoughts.  <br \/>Regardless&#8230; I am a &#8220;what you see is what there is&#8221; kinda person.  If you want to know&#8230; just ask.  Because chances are, if I want to know, I will ask you. <\/p>\n<p>So I am not scared of saying the things on my mind most of the time&#8230; because it makes me feel better.  It has a similar effect of diving into a bucket of mint chocolate chip ice cream!<\/p>\n<p>Honesty &#8230; sometimes it is all there is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honesty&#8230; that is what I hear over and over&#8230; when I get a comment about a blog I have written.
