or i'll just write'n my blog... ;)

theres a ton of books being written these days my mothers about their experiences as mommies
apparently no one is buying then
i'll tell you why.
we have plenty of mommys at the playground or on the street validating our ambivalent mommy feelings that it seems pointless to read in prose
to hear someone else complain about not sleeping? or complain in a book about the things we might like to complain about but don't want to say out loud?
Or to read about someone else spending 10 minutes watching their child sleep because they can't pull themselves from the magnetic angel theyve birthed?
we know the song and dance...there are very few new revalations
this project called Motherhood
is my day to day
consumes most of my thoughts anyway
and so
if i do a have a minue to sit down and pick up something to read,
id rather read The Times.
