Okay, so I am one of those people who while they are engaged in something such as cleaning, getting ready, etc. that these are the moments when my mind really starts to wander. So I was cleaning the bathroom this morning and I am listening to the television in the background and I keep hearing all about these "Real Houswives of wherever they are from, I mean what have we covered about half of the United States now?!?! Anywho~ these supposedly "Real Housewives" are dressed to the nines with their designer clothes, high heeled shoes, make-up and perfect hair, and they are housewives right?? Well, I will not debate that they stay at home with their children or that they are not good and active mothers but I would like to know what "Real Housewife" has the time for all of this that they do? Including sitting around arguing with each other and what not! I will be the 1st to admit that I have never watched a show, not one, and don't plan to but I have seen enough on entertainment TV, talk shows, and advertisement (by the way this is all in passing because I don't have time to SIT and watch TV) to know that if this is what being a "real housewife" is then sign me up! I will be more than happy to have someone make me over, drive me around, nanny my kids (not saying that they don't take care of their kids), and let someone sit me in a room just to scream and yell because their are days that I would welcome the chance to just sit and scream about nothing just because I need to!
But honestly, if they want to do a show then let them do a REAL HOUSEWIFE show about REAL Housewives. You know, like the ones who hit the floor running in the morning to get everyone ready and shuffled to where they need to be, the ones who are scrubbing the floors and toilets and cleaning the kitchen for th 3rd time that day because that is where the 3 meals per day come out of. The ones who are wiping butts, changing diapers, picking up after 3 kids plus their friends, the ones who are pooper scooping the backyard, mowing the lawn, busting her ass to just get that 8th load of laundry in for the day, taking the recycle, taking out the trash and who are just looking forward to the one hour of quiet that they might get at the end of the day to paint their nails or read a book/magazine. Again, I don't want to slight these women but COME ON!!!! Lets give some credit to those of us who are truly doing it all and not because our husbands don't help but because its how we make it work. And to thos of us who can't wait for a date night or night out with the girls in order to get dressed up because there is no point in doing so during most days because whatever we are wearing is puked on, pooped on or used as a napkin!
Now maybe I would think differently about this if I had millions of dollars, who knows, but I am here to say that wether you are a stay at home mother or a working mother (I have been both), I applaud you! With or without you being on TV!!! BRAVO!!!!!!
