Dirty Little Secrets of Motherhood

I am watching Oprah's Secret Life of Moms episode that I DVR'd this week. Moms confess all their dirty little secrets that they would normally NEVER admit to anyone. These are SO FUNNY and SO TRUE!!! One lady on the show said she once forgot her kid's lunch for school, so she packed him a lunch using "snacks" she had in her messy car. :)

The point? Why are we hiding our dirty little motherhood secrets from each other? Why are we trying to put a facade on reality, when we could be sharing with one another, laughing at ourselves, and realizing that there is NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT MOTHER and we are not failures because we can't do it all, all the time.

My dirty little secret? I have LOTS, but as I'm typing this, Jason just walked by and swatted Mary Claire because she was playing with my laptop cord at the wall outlet. Should I be watching her every move instead of blogging? Yes. But alas, I continue with my innermost confessions...

• I secretly wish I had my own apartment
• I feel guilty that I like going to work so much
• I find that slowly browsing the aisles at Wal-Mart, by myself is BETTER than therapy

I better stop there. YOUR TURN! WHAT ARE YOUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS OF MOTHERHOOD? PLEASE COMMENT, otherwise I will feel like a complete and total FAILURE as a mother!!! :)
