Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side of the Picket Fence?

When you are young and innocent you imagine your life as white picket fences and roses. Euphoric marriage and well adjusted kids all tied up in a bow. Soccer mom and career woman with time to spare to bake cookies. In reality things can never be quite so greener side of the fence. There are always loose ends and nothing is ever as simple as it seems. The time you think you will have to be super woman is filled up with mundane tasks. The cookies come out burnt and the kids are late to practice. The marriage valleys are just as prominent as the hills. Real life takes over the innocence and in the end a new more flexible reality forms. One that changes and morphs with time. Some people can accept the ebb and flow while others decide to move on to something different in hopes of finding that perfect picket fence. The problem with that is that perfection does not exist.
