Mediocrity

I had a discussion with my sister in law this week about being mediocre. I am the definition of mediocre and I'm totally OK with that. Every now and again, especially when I get sucked into the blogosphere, I wish I was or could do something really outstanding or tremendous, but then I remember I'm totally OK with mediocrity and I carry on. I've been feeling so guilty about not posting anything in a while, but the truth is, life has been mediocre. Which isn't a bad thing. I prefer stability to the wild swinging of ups and downs anyway. Things are going just fine. We are going to the library, a lot, which means we are reading a lot and that's great. It's been raining so we've been watching TV, a lot, which really doesn't bother me that much (I'm totally over feeling guilty about that). I haven't been taking a lot of pictures for a few reasons: I'm too lazy, I've got my hands full of Luke and nothing seems that picture worthy. I guess my one real complaint about the mediocre life I lead is that time seems to pass more quickly. The girls start school in about a month and when they do, I'm sure I'll look back on the summer and have nothing to remember about it so therefore will wonder what happened to it. Were you wondering how many more times I could say mediocre? Well I think that was the last time, for now.

I don't think you're mediocre! Your crafting skills are pretty amazing to me. But, at the same time, I know what you mean... Life is fine and nothing's wrong, but nothing is really happening either.

Here, here for mediocre! I think that's a downside to all of these "social networks" more opportunities for comparison and let's be honest, many times it's not as wonderful as people portray their lives on facebook or blogs!!

I think we all go through different stages where we feel mediocre, especially when you have a baby, until they hit about 1 year old. Your life just revolves around them and trying to do other things that don't involve your family/kids just creates stress or tension in the house. At least, that's how I feel. But I am just a mediocre person too! And that's not a bad thing. Amen.

I totally understand. That was my biggest fear about starting a blog. I thought, what am I going to blog about? Sometimes it's nice to not have life so busy at every moment though so you can just sit back and enjoy things like going to the library. So hopefully when you look back on the summer you can remember it as a relaxing one, oh and you can remember that awesome trip you took to salt lake!
