Delurking! Me! Me!
(Does it count if I'm not REALLY delurking?)
Hi! Delurking... Sarah sent me :)
Hi Kara, Hi Sarah. It's me Devra. Now if we get an Erica, Anna, Vera, Donna, etcetera, will we call ourselves "The Short A Team?"
Oh and let's not forget Aviva!
Does it count as delurking if you've actually been in my office?
My trip to your office? Isn't that me delurking? Or is that considered stalking?
Either way, you are *out* now, so add your Momfident Moment here pronto! : )
And for anyone else who may want to know, Aviva and I are not adverse to popping in on people and if we know where you are...
I'm delurking and Sarah sent me.
Hello everyone!
Shash
Okay I have a Momfident Moment to share.......it's a little weird....but.......
I'm a little psycho about what my kids watch on the television. To the extent that regular TV is almost never on at my house and if it IS it's paused in TIVO mode so that I can fast forward through commercials etc etc etc. Most people think this is a little extreme and that I should have "me" TV time but it doesn't really bother me that much.
Occassionally I'll take flack for it saying I'm being over protective and I'm over the top about it but I always felt in my heart that I was right so I stick to my guns on this one.
One day, in a moment of post part blearyness (the twins were like 6 weeks old) I decided to watch FARGO because it was on TNT or something so I thought the language would be edited. And I had apparently forgotten the VIOLENCE (like I said, I was sleepy).
My not quite yet two year old was popping around the living room when the scene came on that the sheriff gets shot in the head, which was horribly NOT edited.
My oldest, not having paid ONE bit of attention to the TV until that moment turns to me and says "Oh no, that guy got juice on his head."
And I swear to you I almost screamed out "VICTORY IS MINE".
Because he had no idea what had just happend. He didn't understand the concept of the shooting or the blood or any of it.
Which is how I want it.
Then of course, I changed the channel. Because I remembered the woochipper.
Gidge, that is a great moment!
My Momfident moment happened at Costco. My four year old fell asleep in the car, and I didn't have her stroller. She's really getting too big for it and I don't have it in our van much more at all. So I'm carrying her and as I grab a cart to go inside, I see another Mom with an older baby (but less than 1 yr old) putting one of those cloth contraptions on the cart, in the seat part. I kinda sigh, and lug my girl in...get a big box of chips and walk a bit further and see body pillows. Holding my daughter, I moved the chips under the cart, put the body pillow in the big part of the cart, and then laid my daughter down on top of it. She never woke up.
I felt like SuperWoman, like I'd earned my Mom-stripes with that action. Sometimes, you have to make do with what you find around you, and get creative. LOL
