What's Normal???

Okay, So I love my neighbors and all, but is it normal that their houses would always be spotless, even the ones with kids?? I'd convinced myself that because I'm not so anal about everything and a little more laid back about my house that I have much more fun than they, but I'm not so sure anymore. They all have housekeepers and their children are prissy little girls. They're often out in their perfectly mowed lawns, wearing their perfectly ironed clothes with their perfectly dressed children playing beside them, when my son opens the door and runs out in the yard in his diaper after he's eaten and has pizza all over him. I have to run out to catch him in my pajama pants with no make-up and a ponytail half in place. I stand and talk to them like normal the whole time hoping the dog didn't make it out the door after me and isn't pooping in their yard.
Seriously, I love our neighbors. They are all so nice and I don't think they're secretly judging me because of my carefree spirit (is that what it's called??) :) but I am beginning to wonder what's normal for the average family? Maybe if I spent a little less time blogging, I could be a little more together, so I'm gonna go now... ~laugh!!~
