I recently googled the name of a blog I was trying to find- we are looking for some guest bloggers so we can up our weekly blogs, you see, and while I didn’t find who I was looking for, I did find about 50 mom bloggers who all came to the same idea: as mothers, we have absolutely no idea what we are doing. Then, out of curiosity, I started looking up other things. Relationships. Dating. Fashion. Dieting. Blogs and blogs and blogs of them. You know what I have discovered?
NO ONE KNOWS THE EPH WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Not a blessed honest soul. Those who do are either lying or have those annoying advice blogs that no one reads because, (by jove I’ve got it!) no one wants advice, we want to commiserate Goshdangitt! I don’t want to read about how perfect your kid is and how best to model mine after it. I want to read about how you too had to comb dried spit up out of your hair and how you didn’t cry about it until four hours later when you were looking at pictures from last month thinking that what if that were the LAST TIME YOUR PRECIOUS CHILD SPIT UP ON YOU. I don’t want to read about how your finances tripled overnight on the stock market while you canned and cooked and baked from the vegetable garden in your modest 4 bedroom that you purchase in all cash because you went to a college you could afford so you don’t have loans. I want to read about the poor family who defaulted on their student loan so their kid could get braces while they were eating offbrand poptarts because they are cheaper than the real brand even though you can kind of taste the difference and no we don’t share bedrooms we just don’t drive a BMW. Live within the means type of thing.
I guess my point is, we rant and we rave but at the end of the day, we want to spill our guts and in exchange are willing and even anxious to read your spilled guts, as long as our guts can rant and rave together. The minute your guts crow over mine about their perfect lives I’m outa there.
In the name of not know what the eph we are doing, I’d like to throw out just a few things I did wrong today that prove I had no idea. Maybe the rest of you do.
- - I forgot to buy breakfast bars again and spent three hours at work wondering why I was so hungry.
- - I stayed up most of the night with my 5 month old who was rolling around whining, and allowed myself to get irritated before I remembered she was teething.
- - I sat at work on the computer (facebookblogsgmail) before looking at the clock and realized I have 2 hours to get done 2 days worth of stuff before I had to leave. I’ll probably be staying late. Stupid stupid stupid.
- - My hair, for the 7th month in a row, is in a ponytailbun with my bangs pulled back and about 3 inches too long. I could spend some time and money and style it or cut it. Or I could just keep thinking about doing it…
- - I spent $150 at Walmart on food and crap when I could have spent $75, and then wondered why I didn’t have money for later in the month. But it was really good crap.
What did you today without knowing what the eph you were doing?
