How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

So My Mother Found My Blog

in Everyday on

As many of you know this little blog of mine was done anonymously for over a year, closer to two!  Only recently did I come out of the bloggy closet, quietly posting a real picture of myself, slowly letting small details of my real life and my real first name leak on to the cyber pages.  Letting my blog morph, grow, from a place where I rant from behind my closed doors to where I rant out in the open!

I bitch about how hard it is to be a good Mama in the suburbs, spill about what I really think about those tight Mama cliques in these parts, over share about flashing the lawn boy and what’s going on as we set the bedroom on fire …..oh um, yes we did,  AND NOW SHE KNOWS!!

My Mother knows it all!  She has been reading along for two whole weeks and wondering why I have not filled her in on my secret life! Umm where do I start? I talk about my loves, my hates, my hopes, my desires, my passions and yes…my naked times!

I don’t worry about punctuation.  I don’t concern myself with what anyone will think.  This has been my space, my place to rant to rave, to laugh and cry.

How can I keep blogging now that she KNOWS?

Well, I’ll tell her what she suggested.  She could “tell me some of her sexual secrets to make things even.” NOOOOOO

My burning ears. Stop Mama Stop.

Sigh…so now what?

Well, if My Mom knows (and she is creeping up on 70 years old and has managed to stumble across my little “job on the side” via google) I have to wonder, does everyone know? 

This my friends is why I am the one who does not lie or keep secrets.  I am no damn good at it.

Ha.

Guess now I decide. 

a)  Tell all my friends and family that I’ve gone all double oh seven and have been leading a secret bloggy life.

b) Forget I know and just keep on blogging? 

c)  Quit.

Or panic?  Nope  not gonna.  Just going to think on it for a bit.  Sigh.  What would you do?

PS  Hi Mom! Ha

    3. You’re not alone in your secret bloggy life! I don’t discuss my blogs with people in “real life”. Even though it’s a very public forum, it still feels very private to me and I like it that way.

    5. Wow! That is really being stuck between a rock and a hard place. One of the reasons I enjoy blogging is to get the thoughts off my chest EXACTLY in the way I am thinking – without having to worry about filtering it for someone else.

      I have NO idea what I would do certain people were to read it… let alone my mom 🙂

      I wouldn’t quit, if I were you.. BUT, I would also worry about having to filter certain thoughts.. Ugh.. Basically, I don’t know!

    6. Keep it mum as long as you can. I wish I did not share with everyone…and yes, I get a lot of hits each day, most of them are from my Mom. Hence, I usually filter my stuff. I hate having to filter!

    7. B!! Definitely B!!!

      ABSOLUTELY NOT C!!!

      I just found out about a week ago that my ex has been reading my blog. That would be the same ex that I refer to as CSJ on my blog. (just to remind you – CSJ stands for CockSucking Jagoff. Nice, right?) He mentioned something one day about something I had blogged about, and I tried to play it off, thinking, there’s no way he READ the blog. But then HE said, “Yeah, I read your blog!” Oh, well. C’est la vie!

      I AM starting to think I need a new code name for him, though, since things have taken an interesting turn around here in the past year or so. Maybe I can just come up with something else to fit CSJ. Cute Silly Jerk? I’ll keep working on it… 😉

    8. Don’t quit. I’d miss your humor. Start another anonymous blog? Swear your mom to secrecy? Good luck. I hope my mom doesn’t find mine. She is not very computer literate so I think I’m ok.

    9. Sounds like your mom is pretty accepting….I say just keep doing what you’re doing! And you can’t quit now!

      So if she’s willing to share, will she be guest posting for you?

    12. My Mom reads my every blog post…and so does my Dad I discovered (when I mentioned him and my wearing hot pants one post). Recently, my Mom mentioned my Grandmother wants to read as well. Eek! So long as my MIL never starts reading I’ll be okay.

      Cheers!

    13. Quit? Absolutely not! Just keep being honest and funny. Sometimes people need to laugh at the everyday craziness of their lives or at someone elses craziness it makes us know that we are not alone! Just as long as you are not saying anything that might hurt someone you care about I say blog on!!!! I am sure your friends and family will love reading as much as I do!
