Are you Jealous, yet? You should be because I’m gorgeous and living the American Dream. Ok, you’ve read a few of my posts. I can understand if you’re not jealous of me, but I’m surrounded by people that will make you jealous. The other private school moms lead fabulous lives and go on exotic vacations. Spring break is coming up. My husband and my daughter are going on vacation but I was not invited because my daughter loves her Daddy and wants him all to herself. I will stay home to organize the house and finish our taxes. Are you Jealous, yet?
It’s all Polly’s fault!
I blame my friend Polly for posting about this topic. Polly, also known as 90114yllop on YouTube is one of my favorite vbloggers and always comes up with amazing series ideas. She spent one entire year just describing her morning coffee. I woke up each morning with anticipation, wondering “What is Polly drinking, today?” Will it be flavored? Is today going to include half and half or milk? Yesterday was a mocha, today it’s a latte! That was a curve ball! I can’t wait to find out what happens tomorrow! She is the one that suggested I write about the phrase “Are you Jealous, yet?” I’ve somehow conned her into thinking my life is more interesting than a cup of coffee. She is humble, honest, down to earth and not jealous of me. She is a the one friend that keeps me grounded and I’m totally jealous of her.
Beautiful Disaster
Back to writing about me and my life. I’m a beautiful disaster! I live a perfect life in a beautiful home. Well, except for my cluttered garage. So …
ARE YOU JEALOUS, YET? (If you are, then you are missing the point of this post)
Being a stay at home mom, I’m home a lot. This just gives me more time to write funny blog posts and organize my bathroom drawers. What started as “relaxing at home” has quickly turned into “agrophobia (fear of going outside).” I’m a very jealous of moms that work outside of the home. I can barely handle the work inside of the home.
When I run into the other private school moms outside of my house, I say or do the wrong thing. I also share too much about myself when I first meet someone.
It’s not too soon for me to overshare all of my flaws with you, right? I’m constantly stressed out. All my family wants to do is spend time with me and I’m always “too busy”. I go, go, go until I burn out. I’m either ignoring my family, doing a million tasks or cranky and tired. It’s not fun living with me. These fun facts turn my storybook life into a dumpster fire. It also gives me tons of material for my upcoming book “The Life of a Private School Mom.” Oh, and I love to complain, which just makes everything even worse and is super annoying to those around me.
So, the next time you see that mom that looks gorgeous and is living the American Dream, know that she does not wake up looking like that. She probably has a team of hairstylists, makeup artists, personal trainers, and plastic surgeons. Making herself beautiful on the outside hides her insecurities on the inside. She wishes her life would be more like yours. Are you jealous, yet?
Or I could be completely wrong and I’m the only hot insecure mess (if that isn’t obvious already) and also #blessed because none of them are almost published. By almost, I mean I only have 30,000 words left to write in my 70,000 word book, The Life of a Private School Mom.
On a serious note, I realize that I am more fortunate than most and I am thankful for everything. If you take anything away from this website, it’s that happiness comes from within yourself. We are all human beings and therefore, we are all equals. There is nothing more important than spending time with family. Finally, I am thankful for being healthy and having a healthy family. I’m also thankful for my fans. Thank you for visiting my website and sharing this journey with me.
Make me jealous, comment below and tell me what makes you FABULOUS!
