Somebody actually reads my blog!

Somebody important too! I could hardly believe it when I got an email response from
Devra Renner one of the co-authors of the book I have been reading Mommy Guilt. Here is her message
"Hi Thalia,
Thanks for picking up our book and don't worry one bit if you don't get to the end. It's meant to be picked up and dropped whenever and wherever needed. ; )

By the way, Aviva and I are parrot heads too...

Devra"

And a parrot head at that! We should definitely take her advice!

If you are interested you can visit Devra and Aviva at their blog on their site parentopia

Thanks Devra for putting some excitement other than my 3yr old Taylor using the potty last night (which is pretty exciting) into my week!

Mommy Madness?

I read an article this morning that is entitled Mommy Madness. The article discusses the craziness of the modern day mother especially the working mother.

An update, I have not returned to the "Mommy Guilt" book-I am too guilty to spend time reading it. No actually I feel the point of the book is to accept "good enough" instead of "perfect" in many parenting situations and when you don't expect as much you won't be disappointed as much. Nothing wrong with that I guess in moderation. But there are always some things a mother will want to be perfect or just right for their child no matter what else is going on and no matter how much sleep you have lost. So I have lost interest in reading the end of the book for the time saving tips and schedules etc..etc..
