Honestly Jen

I am by nature an honest person. I have never been able to tell a lie. Even on April Fools day, when I'm allowed to lie, I start to sweat.

I am also very honest about who I am. I think sometimes I'm so transparent about my many shortcomings that I make myself look bad. I don't mean to belittle myself, I just have a hard time hiding anything. And I guess I'm not too worried what people think.

I believe one reason for my honesty, especially in the area of motherhood, is that I am looking for someone to come along side of me and say ... "I'm just like that...You are not the only one who loses it while doing crafts with your kids." However, I don't often get that response.

Maybe that's why I've started this blog -- to 'fess up about all the areas I fall short. Not to beat myself up, but to look at my shortcomings, maybe learn something from them, put them in perspective and hopefully find some humor along the way.
