This post will get lost in the archives eventually, but before I do this blog for too long, I want to say that I named it “sophistimom” more in hopes that it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy than a reflection of characteristics I believe I possess.  I would love to be some sort of domestic goddess, have my home just so, with children who excel in social situations and have a commanding knowledge of Latin and Shakespeare.  I would love to be one of those girls with a magnetic presence who always looks fabulous but is incredibly kind and genuine.  But alas, I spend more time wishing I had a maid than actually doing housework; my kids are more inclined to play Rock Band, memorizing the lyrics to Wave of Mutilation than they are memorizing sonnets; and, I would make the girl on What Not to Wear hyperventilate in her three inch heels if she ever saw my wardrobe.

But I’ll keep writing the positive things that I’m learning.  Rest assured you have no IDEA how much I edit my so-less-than-perfect life.

   I love that Jaime. That was well said. You deserve more credit than you are giving yourself here, but it’s so funny the way you put it, that I wouldn’t change a word of it. It made me smile.
