Yes, I agree, those are a couple great, honest blogs. There are a ton more, too. I’ll try to put together a bit of a blogroll one of these days.

You need to see more blogs. There’s a whole world of “bad mommy” blogs out there. Suburban Turmoil. Her Bad Mother.

They aren’t as funny, like Jill’s, but they are definitely honest about their challenges.

I have to second Amy’s comment. I read your responses to being supermom and felt so NORMAL. I think that if more moms were honest about their challenges and short-comings, then us new mommies wouldn’t feel like we have to be “perfect.” You really can be supermom without being perfect. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

My “not-so-super” mom truth: Sometimes my one year old is excited to go into her carseat because she knows a snack is probably waiting in the cracks for her. Before I had kids…I never understood how anyone could have cheerios left in their car. Now it look’s like it rains cheerios and goldfish crackers inside my car…daily.

Oh, and dropping the F-bomb…hillarious. Simply hillarious.

You know, I thought that, too, but then I’ve had other friends get Cool Cat and Teacher’s Pet. All the descriptions are pretty ego inflating, though. You should try it out!

I’m pretty happy at the prospect of getting paid, too.

I just wanted to say that I laughed so hard at my vision of you wrestling with Kendall’s foot to make that crafts project! So funny! I keep rereading it and laughing and my husband is looking at me like I have lost my mind. LOL!

Bless you for making me feel so NORMAL! I cannot manage a weekly menu nor can I figure out how to grocery shop and NOT throw away my weight in rotten food each week. I still feel bad for that time that my daighter dropped her sippy cup (okay she threw it at me) and I said “damn you”. And hells yeah, my kid goes to bed on time every night because by the time “on time” comes around, I.am.done!

Thanks for being honest and for being you – and good for you for making some cash for it!! I agree with the previous commenter…like a Dyson!
