It's hard to get used to the idea that some days can be "productive" even when all we do is play and cuddle.jeaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732103634683943293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-20832599359351236452008-12-23T12:51:00.000-08:002008-12-23T12:51:00.000-08:00Vicky,Why IS it so hard?

I think we live in a society filled with people who want to do more and be better (which is obviously a good thing) and who are too hard on themselves if they aren't perfect. I think women are particularly plagued by this. I think we compare our individual weaknesses to the collective strengths of others. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hear ya sister. Have a great Christmas!Mrs. Cropperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702337677136192157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-15859594520576143702008-12-23T09:03:00.000-08:002008-12-23T09:03:00.000-08:00Thank-you!

And now I realize that he hasn't complained about my performance, so it's just me that I'm disappointing. I suppose I should take your Christmas gift to the world and try to give it to myself. Why is that so hard?Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122062643595696331noreply@blogger.com
