I tend to not visit homemaking sites---the ones that show women how to do mundane tasks and seem more focused on the person putting on the display than the information that they're sharing. In fact, they make me angry.
There have been countless women I've spoken to online who get frustrated at how this woman or that woman seems to have her life all in order (at least to the unseen online community) and is bent on showing the rest of us how it's done.
Everybody's on a soapbox. And the Internet makes that so simple.
Give me a woman who can't get the laundry finished on any given day, and who has dust bunnies upon dust bunnies under her furniture. Who has little or no time for crafts, but uses her time to put dinner on the table and snuggle her kids. The woman who has aspirations of being a writer, painter or fabulous cook, but who in fact, is exhausted at the end of the day and only has the energy to run the vacuum.
That's the woman I want to know. She's the one I'll ask over for tea. And she's the one I won't be embarrassed to invite into my home.
Now getting off of my soapbox!
