My husband was away on business recently. Although my kids and I missed him, we had our routine down pretty good every day. After all the carpooling and rushing around, I was relieved to eat my dinner over the sink and stay up late watching chick flicks after the kids went to bed. I shamelessly watched a movie one night starring Miley Cyrus that made me cry so hard, I had to blow my nose and wash my face twice. As if this wasn’t embarrassing enough, I noticed that at the bottom of the movie credits, Netflix recommended movies and shows based on what I had recently watched. Every TV show and movie listed was appropriate for a 14 year old girl. I was mortified. Need I say more?

Eating over the sink and watching chick flicks while hubby’s on business? We’re kindred spirits! And, I’ve seen that Miley Cyrus movie and think you were perfectly justified. Yes, that’s our story and we’re sticking to it! 😉

HAHA…this is one of the rights of passage into “I’ve turned into my mother”….I was so used to watching Sesame Street, Power Puff Girls, Lizzie MaGuire, and Hannah Montana …I mean, I was really enjoying them with my girls..buying the soundtracks and everything!!! There were times they would fall asleep and I would keep watching!
Then, when some private mommy time starting trickling back into my life with blocks of more than an hour, starting back up on the “only for mommy” movies like Hangover and Bridesmaids seemed “over the top” and made me blush…I found myself thinking (and saying out loud) “do they really need this?”
I have become my mother in yet another facet of my life.
