My Therapy: My Blogging Affair

Therapy Disclaimer

I am a reluctant stay at home mom nearing the end of my term. I am a recovering "Suzy Homemaker". I curse. I say what's on my mind. I hope that I say things that other people are thinking, just don't have the guts to say. I hope to make people laugh at or with me. I hope not to offend too many people, but know there have been a few and am quite certain there will be several more.

So, if you are looking for a dysfunctional view on mothering, being a woman , and life- you may not be disappointed here. If you are still Suzy Homemaker and think that everyone should be, I might just make you want to vomit.

Dear My First Real Love:
I have been neglectful, I know, I'm sorry. I feel like I don't even know you anymore. Blogging has taken over my life in a very odd, uncontrollable way. I spend much of my time reading blogs, writing on my blog, thinking about writing blogs, and Twittering with my bloggy friends- time that we used to share.

My neglect became obvious to me when I was choosing to blog and ignoring you completely! I started missing the nights that used to be our "special time" together. When we do get to spend time together, I feel I am having a hard time catching up with what's been going on with you- it's like we're in different places now.

I know last night was an important night for you! I didn't want to let you down. I was there for you. I had fun and it was great catching up. I'm so glad for Jeremy Piven and Tina Fey. I'm ashamed that I have not watched any "Mad Men", but last night's Best Drama Award was just the nudge I needed.

With the new fall season upon us, maybe we can start fresh with all of our favorites. I am going to start trying to bridge the gap that has been coming between us. I think we can make it work. I think there is room in my life for you and my blogging. Let's try and make it work!

Sincerely,
Tena

Tiffany said...: LMAO Are you sure I didn't write that post? Because I too have been neglecting my shows. I have a shitload DVR'd and haven't watched them because I have too many damn blogs to read. But oh how the new shows are fixing to come on. How will I divide my time between the two? *sigh*; September 22, 2008 at 8:04 AM
Jill said...: Oh I'm jealous.. we don't get new tv shows here. I hear the new fall line up in out - I'll sadly just sit here and read blogs...

Boo hoo.; September 22, 2008 at 8:54 AM
Jen said...: Add me to the many who have been neglecting the tv. I am still in shock that I haven't watched that new show "Fringe" I tivo'd it because I wanted to get my Joshua Jackson fix, but I haven't made the time to watch it. Blogging has taken over. How will I fit it all in? There must be a way to add some hours to the day.; September 22, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Debz said...: I thought you were a multi-tasker. I watch the TV and blog. If I can do it, I know you can.; September 22, 2008 at 9:44 AM
Unknown said...: sad thing is....I think you burn more calories watching tv vs bloggin...go figure; September 22, 2008 at 9:59 AM
t said...: Awwwww.....blogging is an addiction. I'm sure there will be some sort of pill for this in the future. Maybe not.

I changed my breakfast post a bit because I don't want anyone to hate me for my metabolism. I'm no skinny chick...I eat like a monster and one day...I'll be a beast. ;) I hope it's when I am 65 and don't give a flying poop. Not that I care now. ;) Don't hate me, Tenakim...I am your loyal fan! :); September 22, 2008 at 2:08 PM
t said...: You are jealous of my water balloons? I mean boobs? you can have them if you want...to me they are like time bombs...ha!

Hey, all I can say is at least I have one part of my body that will defy gravity!

And you will learn to love your curves...trust me. It happened when I turned 40 (way back 5 years ago!). I just learned to appreciate the child-bearing machine for all it's gone through. Mr. Handsome, who is...ahem...6 years younger...ahem...seems to have no issues with the curves.

Attitude is everything. ;); September 22, 2008 at 4:26 PM

Laurie said...: Great blog. You made me laugh out loud, and really not much is doing that for me lately. I totaly relate to the neglecting TV for the new blogging addiction. Big problem for Fall season. My DVR is already 80% full from last spring! What will happen when the new shows start? But the hubby is loving having the TV all to himself. It's all sports all the time.; September 22, 2008 at 6:03 PM
Unknown said...: Blogging is the only love in my life...what of it? I missed you while my internet was out! :)
