29. What do you think people misundertand most about you?
... the most misunderstood thing about me... how well my life is held together in public...
A lot of friends look to me as a "inspirational role model", a lot of adults look to Drew and I as a "different couple," a lot of children look to me as being "the perfect babysitter," a lot of my co-workers and partners see me becoming "the next Oprah,"
newsflash; I don't have it all together, and I probably never will. I guarantee you I will let you down, if you look to me as the answer to anyone’s problems…I'm not done grieving... but I do a good job of hiding it... that's not healthy, I'm not at my goal weight... or even in my BMI for that matter, also-unhealthy... I promise you by living your relationship in desire of Drew and I’s success… it will probably fail because, we have hiccups too! I will probably be the mother who inserts a dropped teething toy back into her child’s mouth without running it under the sink at least once and lets him play in the neighbor’s dog’s water bowl for too long. I’ll be the co-worker who accidentally reads the wrong teleprompter and slips up in front of the camera and supports it with a curse word… I’ll definitely be the wife who cooks a disgusting dinner at least once a year, and will give you flack for the grossed out face you use to support your notion, I’ll be the friend who doesn't have time to pick up your son from t-ball or carpool with you to fairy tales and tutu's, or I may not answer my phone after your latest breakup, or be asleep during your son's televised spelling bee… I can’t be everywhere at once, and I can’t depend on anyone to help me to help myself….
So you know who I give all of my credit to? The Capri everyone talks up… gives every ounce to the success in family, friends, my careers, my future, my relationship… to God. God loves you, more than anything in this world... and he doesn't want you to be, or act, or think you should be anyone else... YOU are the YOU'EST (yup, just made that up) YOU there is. I don’t worry about anything, he totally has the whole world in his hands… looking to my life as an advice guide isn’t going to get anyone anywhere but a dead end… I fail all of the time… daily… but it’s a part of growing up… we all get there… in due time. 1 Peter 5:6 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time”
