The Truth About Real Moms

Earlier last week, both Janet and Paige tagged me for the "Real Moms" meme. Of course, I had to wait until I could sit upright for any length of time without the room spinning before I could oblige my friends' wishes!

It is funny that I was tagged to do this post, because sometimes I feel like the "Anti-Mom" as opposed to a real mom! Then again after reading many blogs, I have realized I am not so different after all!

Real Moms:

Real moms sometime long for the days when their lives were simpler. The days when the most they had to worry about was scrounging up enough money to go out with girlfriends. The days when they came home from work and SAT DOWN on the couch! The days when they washed two loads of laundry A WEEK, fixed only the dinner they wanted to eat, and went to the grocery store only once in a blue moon!


Real moms still crave the excitement felt when their appearance is appreciated by a member, or members, of the opposite sex. Real moms want to be told they are sexy! If it is from someone that is not the man they married..........even better! ( Of course, real moms' husbands are duty bound to compliment their sexiness on a regular basis!)

Real moms dream of lust filled nights of intimacy with their "Baby Daddy". The kinds that are not disturbed by snot-nosed toddlers, tummy aching eight year olds, or talk of potty training of ANY SORT! Nights where a locked door is not met with insistent knocks, fingers sticking under the frame, or disgusted cries on the other side. Nights where volume and location are not an issue. Nights where fun can happen late into the night, without impending early morning wake ups from wiggly, loud, and sometimes hungry little people!

Real moms cook for, clean, heal, love, nurture, discipline, entertain, teach, support, and guide their children on a daily basis.

Real moms hurt when we see our children's shortcomings, struggles, or heartbreaks.

Real moms will fight, literally, to the death for our families.

Real moms drink cocktails and gossip with other real moms.......if only to maintain their sanity!

Real moms have single friends that drag them out from time to time. They wear clothes that are a little tighter or lower cut than their normal attire...... looking for attention. They dance with reckless abandon on a stage in front of, what they are certain are, adoring fans!

Real moms hope their daughters don't make quite as many mistakes as they did while growing up.

Real moms are human, and therefore make mistakes from time to time. They sometimes lose their tempers too quickly. They sometimes say the wrong thing.

Real moms struggle with guilt, uncertainty, and sometimes fear when it comes to making the tough decisions about their children.

Finally, real moms love their families with every particle of their beings. There is nothing that a real mom will not do for her family. Superman does not hold a candle to the strength of a real mom!
