I know you said you weren't looking for reassurance here, but I'm going to give you some anyway.
I think (and I imagine I'm not the only one of your readers to feel this way) that I wouldn't enjoy reading your LJ nearly so much if everything had turned out exactly the way you had wanted. I mean, let's face it, perfection of boring. If you were effortlessly cranking out books, Rob always got the taxes done on time, and the girls always cleaned their plates, I'm sure things would be a lot easier for you, but there'd be really nothing for the rest of us to read about, identify with, and learn from. What I enjoy about your LJ is seeing how, even with all the problems you have with things, you still keep moving forward. I've enjoyed reading about your on-again-off-again study of karate, your efforts to start biking to work, and your generalized effort to advance and improve your life in the face of everything that the universe throws at you. Your life is, I think, more interesting than you realize.
