10 Things My Kids Would Be Surprised to Learn About Their Mom


Me and the kids at the beach. Little do they know I hate wearing bathing suits.

1. My real name isn't Mama, Mom, Ma, Mommy or any version of it.

2. My super-human mom powers don't include being able to see or hear what they're doing when they're not in front of me. I don't have eyes behind my back. I just get lucky at guessing and it keeps them in check.

3. Sometimes I don't really want to eat my vegetables and want to go straight to dessert. More cupcakes, please!

4. I sometimes watch iCarly when they're not home. That Gibby kid is funny, and I don't know about you, but Sam is a much better actress than Carly.

5. My feet grew an entire size bigger after having kids. Yeah, mama's a freak like that.

6. I sometimes go to the bathroom just to read a magazine or play Sudoku and have "quiet Mommy time".

7. My hair used to be naturally super-shiny and stick straight before having them. Now I have a ball of frizz that can only be tamed with a flat iron.

8. Sometimes I listen to Howard Stern when I'm alone in the car.

9. I stress about math homework...yes, even 2nd grade math gives me a headache.

10. After I put them to bed, I'm up doing this for another six hours.
