She showed up here the other day. It had been so long since I had seen her that I didn't recognize her until after she had left. I'm hoping she comes back soon...
The good mom runs freaking and shrieking from the house after 5 minutes. Because she knows that if she stays for any length of time, she'll turn into that Other Mom. :P
Well, I'm pretty sure I'm older than the rest of you (just had my first grandchild), so I had to chime in and tell you I think she shows up a lot more often after the kids leave home! Sorry to say! Although with grown kids, you sometimes have to bite your tongue and not say anything. It's really hard to turn out what you've been doing and saying for the past 18 plus years. Mine are 28 and 31 and it's still hard, though I'm getting better at that part. But enjoy your little ones at home, even if there are days your feel like a monster - I miss that time! But now get to enjoy from a different perspective with my son's son. I have to add - with my older son, I could be reaming him out over something (bad Mom!) and he'd look up at me (which was till he hit 6th grade and then starting looking down at me!) and say "I love you, Mom", at which point I wanted to slither off and beat myself up for yelling! Lecture over, immediately. He claims he didn't do it to push my buttons, but I wonder...

I don't know, but when you find her come back and tell me.
(...that I may come and worship her also... no wait, that's wrong)
I don't know, but I'll bet she gets a lot more sleep than I do.
She makes brief appearances around here- but not as often as she is needed...

How timely.
PS: Leah = Hilarious

Wing It Mom, do you and I have an historical connection in the form of a really ratty green couch?
As a matter of fact we do. ;-)
