I keep thinking that there has to be a way to balance being an independent funny spunky well educated woman and being a wonderful mom. If my 6 year old found the Daily Show as hysterical as the concept of a shark being on a bus it would be easier. I inhabit two different worlds. I don't have any friends that are moms, although they enjoy my son it's not the same. Then I feel guilty for thinking that there’s so much of *me* that doesn’t go into being a mom, and what do I do with all of that? And when? On the upside my house is very tidy.

It's so sad that I can't even rebel anymore.I have no energy to go out past ten pm and excessive alcohol leaves me feeling like death the next day... maybe I'll take a leaf out of your book and parade around the house after dark in a leather corset and pink feather boa so I can feel BAD!
