One evening after a horrible day of potty training my three-year-old son, I posted my shoddy efforts on facebook, and an old high school friend of mine posted a comment. Within that comment, were the three words “motherhood is bliss.” At the time, I was not thinking on the same level as my friend, and I just kind of pushed it back out of my mind.

Now, thirty-nine years later, I find that those roles have reversed…I am like my parents were, and my son is like I was…

Why is it so hard to lose that infamous belly fat – then when you finally do – it’s so easy to put it back on? You try and try to lose it, one workout at a time, and it takes months to shed. You finally get there, but if you eat the wrong thing or go eat out at a restaurant just once, then “Poof” it’s back again. Soooo, not fair…

Earlier today I had a “Duh!” moment…okay I have them all the time, but today’s was particularly disturbing to me. We were on our way out to take my daughter to her softball practice, and I was making sure I had everything I needed. Purse? Check. Wallett with I.D.? Check. Keys? Check. Cell Phone (in case my husband was able to call from Kuwait)? Che… Oh no, where’s my cell. Hold on kids, gotta find my–, oh how embarrassing…I’m talking on it…
