Moms on Oprah

I am watching Oprah right now...as I am typing...and today she has different moms around the country confessing their dirty mothering secrets...like making their kids an entire lunch out of snacks from their car or the mother that didn't want to wake her kids during a long drive and pulled out a diaper and peed into it. I think that is so funny!

I've never gotten to that point THANK GOODNESS but I admit that I, myself, feel inadequate most of the time. There just isn't enough time in the day to do everything and stay sane. I need some time to myself! I remember when the kids were babies I didn't have time to take care of myself...my house looked like a tornado hit it...and some days it still does.

Thank goodness this blogging thing has really been a lifesaver. I've met other moms that are in the same boat and it makes me feel like I'm ok. Last week my daughter asked "Who do you love more? Your laptop or your kids?" I said "Ummmmm....you guys of course...." but what I didn't say was "but my laptop doesn't whine, cry or scream...it listens to me...doesn't talk back...does what I tell it to...and so on..."

    Totally can relate to those bad mom moments. I am at the point where I consider a cupcake a meal for my three year old.

    I remember having a thought once upon a time about peeing into a diaper. I didn't, but boy, did I want to.

    Thank heavens for blogworld. I'd feel like a crazy lonely mother, but instead I have other crazy mothers...now not so lonely :)

    OMG My daughter said the exact same thing to me. She said, Whats more important the computer or me. My kids are not deprived of my attention but they sure know how to induce guilt if my attnetion sways somewhere else even for a minute. Good gats. You know what really makes me crazy is when people who do not have any children think that their lives would be so much better when they had kids. They would do this, and that, and not let their kids do this or that. blah blah blah. I too said the same thing.And then I woke up during the birth of my first child. Glad to have found your site!

    I know exactly what you mean! Everyone gives advice about discipline, eating, whatever...and then when they have kids they don't even follow their own advice. You just want to kick them out of your house!

    I missed the Oprah episode you wrote about. Dang it!

    However, did you see earlier this week when she had on all of the super popular Mom bloggers? Why weren't we there? :)
