Moms With Real Lives

Earlier today, I had a conversation with my own mother regarding the Real Housewives shows. I must admit, I have spent an hour or two taking in these shows. The storyline (virtually the same for each show--women with a lot of money who are involved in bad relationships self destruct) has me perplexed.

Aren't we interesting? Does it take millions of dollars and lavish parties to make a woman interesting? While I don't suggest that I deserve millions of dollars more than the next guy, I do suggest that I (and most of you) work a lot harder than the majority of these ladies to keep our households running.

Now, I don't know about you, but I don't have time to fight with anyone, nevertheless gossip about it to another living soul. I spend every moment that I have managing my family and work commitments. An average day in my house goes something like this:

Wake up
Nurse Baby
Shower
Wake up Preschooler
Feed Baby and Preschooler
Clean up Baby
Dress and Clean Preschooler
Pack Car with Back Pack, Diaper Bag, Breast Pump, Briefcase and Purse
Drive to Babysitters/Drop off Baby
Drive to UPK/Drop off Preschooler
Drive to Work/Get Out of Car and Go to Work
Work All Day
Pick up Preschooler
Pick Up Baby
Go to Grocery Store
Get Home/Make Dinner
Eat Dinner/Nurse Baby
Clean Preschooler and Get Ready for Bed
Read Books/Put Preschooler to Bed
Put Infant to Bed
Sterilize Bottles and Pack Diaper Bag for Next Day
Pack Lunches for Next Day
Get Ready for Bed
~Rinse & Repeat~

Who has the time for an epic girl fight? I'm exhausted. Then during my conversation with my mother, she said, that we should make a show called "Real Moms Uncensored." I think she may be right, it sounds like a compelling idea. I would watch this show, even if it were only for the support of knowing that there are other women going through exactly the same thing as I. What do you think? Does anyone want to make a Youtube series?

How to Relieve Your Toddler's Constipation; Here's How I Do It...

I feel your pain. I know you haven't had any sleep for days, and you are worried about your little one. You're thinking, "Will I have to resort to an enema again?" Ugh! I get it. I have a two year old, who is perfect in every way, except one...he has an awful digestion system. It seems like this has been going on for him since the moment he was born, poor guy. I managed the first year and a half of life by nursing him. He never had any trouble digesting my milk. (And some days, I wish I could get my milk flowing again.) After 18 months, his belly has been nothing but a problem for us all. When the toddler is upset, even the neighbors can hear it...he screams bloody murder! So, for the past year, I have tried everything I could think of trying to get his system moving properly. His doctor's orders, at first, were to add fiber and water to his diet. Upon leaving the doctor's office, I felt confident. ...
