My life as a mom to twins comes with a lot of 'problems' but I like to focus on the 'triumphs' and the joy of having two at once!

Grass is always greener...
I'm starting to realize that the grass is always greener on the other side.That I always seem to think that someone's life is prettier, more manageable, less complicated, easier, etc than my own. However, by realizing this... You can accept that it is ridiculous. I look at people's facebook pages and I see all the 'stuff' they have, all the vacations they are going on, all the fun they are having, how exciting their life looks. There are a few people in particular that I find myself being jealous after seeing their pictures. One lady lives in a huge house, always talks about shopping, has nice cars, goes on fabulous vacations, is a stay at home mom, and likes to rub it in my face. She actually probably has no idea that I find myself jealous. After 'researching' deeper I'm pretty sure that she never sees her husband because he is always working and she might actually live with her parents (so all the stuff isn't hers). Appearances aren't what they seem. I bet her life is wonderful but it just shows me that I need to be thankful for what I have and not focus on the things I don't have. It is a delicate balance between motivation/drive/wanting better and never being satifsfied. I'm working on it.
