my oprah invite

Did you know I was supposed to be on Oprah today? 

Ya, so apparently, the producers sent the invitation that was intended for me to some blogger named Dooce. {Who is this Dooce anyway?}  I just hope, whoever she is, that she doesn't feel too embarrassed when she realizes she was the wrong blogger on the show.

Poor Oprah, having to just go along with it.

Oh well, accidents happen.  Next time.

So, in case you wanted to know what I would have said....then you came to the right place. Here are my tidbits on motherhood. Take em or leave em. But, I'm telling you...every word is true.

• If you're not a mom, think very long and hard about why you want to be one. And then when you feel you know the true reason and you feel it so deep in your heart, toss it out and long for it back, because that is what motherhood will do to it anyway.

• Being a mom is awesome. But not for the reasons you thought.

• You will need medication. If you want to fit in anyway. Yes, Mama Kat...it's the cool thing to do. 

• Sleeping in becomes anything past 6 am.

• A full nights sleep is 5 hours. In a row.

• Going to the grocery store alone will seem like such a big deal that you put on makeup and heels because you're going "out."

• You absolutely will wonder if you made a mistake having kids.  

• Then you'll feel guilty for wondering.

• Get used to it, Guilt is your new best friend.

• Wine and chocolate will be appreciated in a whole new way.

Of course, there's good stuff too, but that wasn't the focus of Oprah today.  Instead we were to talk about how hard it is and to be open and honest about the fact.

And ask my husband, I have NO problem doing that.

I have more, I always have more, but I'll save it for Oprah.
