Comments on: HILLARY AND YOUR SOFT UNDERBELLY http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/hillary-and-your-soft-underbelly/ The house, portfolio, Mercedes and the 2.5 kids have been attained – and the question being asked now is, "IS THAT ALL THERE IS?" Sat, 17 May 2008 05:59:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Susan Sabo http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/hillary-and-your-soft-underbelly/#comment-1363 Susan Sabo Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:59:30 +0000 http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/hillary-and-your-soft-underbelly/#comment-1363 A nice story about being real. My mountain biking friends warmed up to me after a day when I couldn't get over any obstacle and was frustrated and would have walked away from my bike forever except I had no other way to go back the 5 miles from the start. I'm still biking and they're closer than ever! A nice story about being real.

More important, we have to get our own attention. NOBODY'S PERFECT! (Although, I must say, we are more perfect than most!) Dear PreSchool Mama -

Funny how sometimes we capable ones have to start a war to get anybody’s attention!

More important, we have to get our own attention. NOBODY’S PERFECT!

(Although, I must say, we are more perfect than most!)

I came pretty close to having a meltdown on one of those writing deadline-meets-son's exams-meets-BMM-meets-blogging days, which sort of freaked my husband out a little. He's being a lot more supportive now. Even my son gets why I work so hard which is a relief. Thanks for this post. I've always thought it was a weakness to not be perfect, and not be able to handle a million things without collapsing. I am going to take it a little easier from now on (or at least try to!)

Funny that you should bring up your sister. My sister, June, is on to me and is my closest friend and supporter. She lives 1000 miles away and I talk to her almost every day. I am so grateful that she has my number! How lucky we are to have this support. Karen - I am talking about all of us - who have oversold everyone on how capable and completely together we all are!

You're talking about me Corrine! Thank you for the wake up call. I guess I'm fortunate that I have a sister who worries about me in spite of myself. Oh God! You’re talking about me Corrine!

And I keep telling them, and showing them, that I need them to give me time, space, and even a boost (when I don't feel so positive about my writing.) I think we are becoming a stronger family because I've made it clear that mom needs help, too! In trying to find time to write, I’ve had to tell my family that I need their support.
