My Life as a Rock Star
This was read as a Mentor Mom moment at MOPS. It is from the July/August 2009 issue of MomSense. I just love it!
I live the life of a rock star. It’s true! I have wild hair and make up with frequent costume changes.
Everywhere I go I have an entourage. People are constantly yelling my name. I look out into the crowd and they’re actually crying for me, reaching for me.
I have no privacy. I’m watched when I shower, when I’m cooking, even when I use the restroom… for my own protection I’m sure.
When I go places I must do so quickly before my fans get out of control and start a riot. Every night a different guy wants to sleep with me. Each of them seems genuinely hurt when I turn him away.
Occasionally I get dirty underwear whirled at me with a whoop and a smile. It’s even hard sometimes to walk through my own home without someone spotting me and trying to grab my legs or my clothing.
Oh, and don’t forget about the stalkers! You know those crazed fans that follow you everywhere? Why, I can’t even talk on the phone in the pantry without an eye or two peeping at me.
Yes, it’s true- I live the life of a rock star. And this goes out to my biggest fan, Nicholas- thank you for making my debut so special!!
Hearing that made me think that I am really going to miss all the attention, hugs, playing, learning, and everything else that comes with toddlerhood some day. As hard as some days are, I am so blessed to be the rock star in Nicholas’ life and hope I always will be! Even when he’s 17 and I am so not cool anymore…

Oh my gosh, I love this!! It’s all so very true…and YES, we will miss it all one of these days when we aren’t “so cool” to our little men! I might have to borrow this post sometime. I love it!!
Hope you and Nicholas are having a great week!

This is so true Sweetie and believe me these days go by way too quickly as you found out these last two years. Enjoy every second of this time with your sweet little boy and make the most of it. When Nicholas is a teenager and maybe doesn’t think the sun rises and sets on his Mama, let him read this and see what happens…….and Nicholas when you do read this I just want you to know that you have the BEST Mom ever and she loves you so much, even when you don’t think she is cool
Nana loves you too….XXXXOOOO
