I have always felt without my mommy girlfriends I could not be a mother.  I remember when my oldest daughter (who is now seventeen), was a year old and got sick.  My husband was out of town, it was 9 at night and she threw up all over me and  the furniture.  What did I do?  I called up one of my best friends who lived a few blocks away and she came right over.  She was an experienced mom because her daughter was 2 1/2.  She took my daughter helped me with the laundry and actually had a good laugh with me over how funny I looked when I opened the door.

Those times of calling her, and other mothers through the the last seventeen years  still go on.  And the calls, e-mails include discussions about kids, spouses, the economy,  why do I feel tired all the time,  didn’t I used to be fun?   We women need each other and support each other in a unique way.  In today’s world we do not always live next door to each other, nor is the telephone always the way to reach each other, but our life line can be the computer.  So when I looked on the web page True Mom Confessions and read the other women’s blogs, I realized I had found a home, a community I could turn to any time of the day or night no judgment.  Other mothers who I could have conversations with about my children, my husband, the swine flu, and not feel alone.  I know as a mother this web site offers me and other mother’s a place to go with all our normal angst about who we are, how we are a mother’s and some sense of feeling we are not crazy because we are sending our kids with bottles of purell to school……. just normal moms trying our best.  So if you have not visited this web page I encourage you to visit True Mom Confessions….you will feel better and have some laughs.
