Thank You, Oprah!

Motherhood. The truth is that sometimes I ask myself "What in the world did you get yourself into? There is no way I'm doing this again" and then other times when my little Leon is sleeping so peacefully or grinning really big up at me, I think "this couldn't get any better". There is so much that comes with it and there is so much that gets taken away. It has been one of those days where every emotion of motherhood has gotten to me. I've wanted to cry (with happiness and frustration), laugh, go crazy, and everything in between. I started to have a slight panic attack as I was going down the cereal isle of the grocery store because I thought the little guy was going to scream his head off. Luckily that didn't happen but I can't help but want to make a mad dash to the exit when I think he might. I've beginning to think how on earth other women do it. It seems like so many of the mothers I know do it so gracefully.

When I got home from my surprisingly good trip to the grocery store, Oprah was on and guess what? Her show was all about Motherhood; the truth about motherhood. It was just what I needed. It was so good to hear other women, other mothers talk about their honest experiences. It helped me realize that there are so many going through the same things I am. What a relief. I'm not the only one. Now I just need to get a hold of that episode and have my husband watch it so maybe, just maybe he'll get a hint of how of I've been feeling. He has been gone in the evenings so much lately. He has no idea (even after I tell him) how much just a few minutes to myself (even just to cook dinner) means to me.

Anyway. Thank You, Oprah. I really needed that show today.
