Because it could be worse~

Ok which is worse? Hearing "hey, for having 7 kids you look pretty good." AND (because I do own a mirror) knowing that THIS is about as good as it's ever gonna get... without serious nip/tuck action and a really good hair colorist?? OR After hearing that your kids are great (well behaved, cute, sweet... etc) the next phrase you hear is something along the lines of "DON'T HAVE MORE!" OR Having you husband do something very sweet, and not be able to enjoy it bacause you don't especially feel like you deserve anything good? OR Reading about how Mom's do the equivalent of over $135,000 worth of work a year, for no pay? They were sure to also point out that by staying at home, moms "sacrifice" over a million dollars worth of family income.

Makes a body just want to hide in a hole. Or on the couch. With bonbons. Or Bourbon. Yup. But it could be worse... right?
