Pretending

Write about a time you pretended to be someone or something you’re not.

As a mom, I think I pretend to be something I am a lot.

I pretend to be a referee when my girls are fighting like MMA fighters.

For the first time last night, I pretended to be a beauty consultant while they are getting ready for the harvest dance and mommy let them wear makeup!

I sometimes pretend to be a dog whisperer when my dogs are misbehaving and I watch Caesar Milan a little to much.

I pretend to be someone who can cook when my husband isn't home or doesn't feel up to cooking.

Often I pretend to be a therapist when my children are having a tough time and want to talk it out.

That is one thing I love about pretending. Most of the time, my girls don't even suspect that I have zero idea what I am doing in this motherhood thing. We are all just stumbling along, doing our best to not screw up our children. Praying that God will help us raise up children that will become contributing members of society someday. So, whatever you are pretending to be today, keep it up and know that you aren't alone.
