Are You Ready for Another Manic Monday?

About a month ago I started posting Manic Monday pictures after a friend of mine inspired me to be more real with my postings and honest with my readers. Since then, I have had several comments and private e-mails thanking me for letting these Mom's know that they are not alone.

Manic Monday - Laundry Day

Well, I guess I should be happy that I got the laundry done at all.
It's folded, that's a plus ... but my bed is covered, not so good.

Putting it away ... well, that will just have to wait for now. Looks like I will be sleeping in Dylan's room tonight.

Manic Monday - Dylan's Room

Bed torn apart, clothes piled sky high, books on the floor and LEGO's strategically placed where Mom can step on them ...

I can only imagine what his room will look like when he is a teenager. Probably not much different except the clothes will be bigger and the books will be textbooks.

My home isn't perfect and that's ok.

Manic Monday

A friend of mine, Pam Brashear, recently wrote an amazingly honest article for OC Moms about how she is taking a break from reading blogs because what she reads is depressing. The perfect homes, the fancy meals, pictures of family vacations .. you get the idea.

Well, Pam threw out an idea on Facebook and I decided to go with it. So here is the first of hopefully many "Manic Monday" posts.

This is my living room ... on a good day!

I'm not perfect, and I'm sure many of you are not either. Join me and share your real life Manic Monday pictures. Let's show the world that we are real people with real chaos in our lives.

Pam, Thanks for saying what many of us could not and for inspiring me to be as honest as possible with my readers.
