[Previous entry: "The Sentiment Behind the Holiday"] [Next entry: "Old Rockers"] 05/31/2005: "Bad Mom Award"
Rules are made to be broken, right? Before school was out, I told my daughter she was limited to an hour and a half of tv time per day. But, the bottom line is I need to finish this book this week. Yesterday it was chilly and raining and none of her playmates were available. Being the good mother that I am, I told her until the book was finished, the time limit on the boob tube was off and she was free to turn her brain to mush by watching as much tv as she wanted.

Sounds like Flexible Mom Award, to me. Go with it. Make it up to her later -- spend some de-mushing time with The Girl, when your writing is done... on Tuesday, May 31st, Alyssa said
I relate to the hair. I went out of town earlier this month, and a few days before, I looked in a mirror at all of my gray and thought ACK! I can't go like this! I ended up getting a cut and color the morning of the day I left town. on Thursday, June 2nd, Jen said
Thanks, guys. Makes me feel better about the t.v.--which I really don't like and seldom watch. My daughter's friend told her yesterday that if she watched too much tv. it'd make her stupid. LOL! I don't suppose she can kill THAT MANY brain cells in a week. |

Writerly Links DoBelieve "Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”

I think that certainly earned me a parenting award -- yeah, the Bad Mom Award. Oh, well. It's not the first time and it surely won't be the last.
