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

    7. It took me about a year after my parents found out, but in the end I had to quit (my previous blog). It’s not that all of my future posts were going to be complaints about my parents, but still… the fact I was no longer anonymous changed the nature of the blog, so I felt I had to stop.

      That’s also why when I started the new(er) blog, I came out from the beginning with my real name.

    8. Don’t quit! Keep blogging. It’s fun, and your family will love your honestly, humor and great stories. Not to mention, it’s just the perfect online diary of our lives. Don’t quit! 🙂

    9. You do you, mama. And you’ll keep us loving you! And your mom will be proud at how you put yourself out there, keep it real and have everyone in bloggy land trusting they can count on you for a smile or a virtual hug!

    10. If your mom is okay with it….then keep on.

      My blog is “anonymous” in that all of our names/location is kept on the QT. All of the pictures are us (in all our glory) so if someone I “knew” stumbled across it they would know instantly.

      I pray every day they don’t though – because even though I filter (to a degree) I don’t filter THAT much.

    13. I veto that whole quitting thing and go with option B:-) Sounds like your mom is a cool lady and doesn’t mind knowing all your dirty little secrets;-)

    14. You are not allowed to quit blogging!! Like any other job it will evolve in different ways. Maybe this is a time of evolution. Carry on and if you feel the need to edit a bit more on certain topics you might just find you want to add new topics.
