It’s time for a few little confessions… I’ve been a mom for 21 years and teacher for more than 10 and I still feel like parenting in a mystery. Just when you think you have it figured out you have another child or new student who defies all the typical expectations we’ve started to form. Can you relate?
One peek around the house or car and you realize something may have been spilled, or a broken piece to a toy and you wonder what happened. Why is this sock in an odd place? Where is the other shoe? How did that get broken? Don’t even get me started on the odd things I find at times after my kids have been playing off in a spot together for awhile. Do you find yourself solving mysteries at your house like me? As parent we find playful ways to ensure our kids are following our rules and expectations. Maybe a game of I spy or a friendly clean up song to get us moving on the right track again.
The Mysteries of Laura
The other big confession is that I kind of love watching TV… yes I said it out loud. It’s the one time I get to sit back without my kids at night and enjoy a show. It’s always exciting to see what’s coming out for the new Fall Season. Do you have any tv shows that are on your list to watch?
I must admit that when I saw +Debra Messing in a few previews I was pretty excited, as a big fan of Will and Grace and Smash I am totally thrilled to see her in a new role a MOM and a DETECTIVE on The Mysteries of Laura. A role I think we can all relate to in our own homes as moms. With 10.43 Million viewers watching the pilot last week I’m guessing that I’m not alone in my little confessions of being excited to watch her new series!
