Guilty Internet Pleasures

Trying to find a good blog to read is like trying to find a four-leaf clover... in a parking lot... on a rainy day. I am under no delusions that my blog is, in my wildest dreams, even close to interesting, even for my parents, who seem to favor Facebook.


Anyway, I think I found the "four-leaf clover" of blogs a few weeks ago, called Scary Mommy (www.scarymommy.com) It's well-written, hilarious, and most important, doesn't make me feel like a complete failure as a parent. I actually started reading it because of a new feature on the site that allows people to post anonymous confessions. Yeah, I posted some confessions and no, I'm not telling you!


Well, okay, maybe just one, or two... I eat Mary's gummy bear vitamins like candy (no big deal, I think a lot of people do that!) and, I've recently added Anthony Bourdain to my spank bank.

What?!

He's really sexy!


There are over 7000 confessions now and I've probably read every one of them... I know, I know, a colossal waste of time, but I can't help it... I'm addicted! I can see a 12-step program in my future. After the first couple dozen confessions they pretty much repeat themselves, but I'm just blown away by how much women:


1. Hate their husbands/ mother-in-laws/ sister-in-laws,
2. Smoke weed,
3. Want to have sex with other women,
4. Wish they had a single friend,
5. Can't wait to get away from their kids (stay-at-home moms),
6. Can't wait to get home to their kids (working moms),
7. Have secret credit cards,
8. Secretly hire maids to clean their houses,
9. Beat themselves up because they... spank their kids, can't keep a clean house, use vibrators, drink too much, think they're too fat, eat Oreo cookies for breakfast and cereal for dinner , etc, etc...

...and it just goes on and on, like a pile up on the interstate that you can't look away from.
