I have 4 of the most intelligent children (ages 8, 9, 13, and 15) but not one of them has a lick of common sense. Yes ladies that would be book smart, common sense stupid. The funny thing is everyone else tells my husband and me how respectful and well behaved our kids are. Understandable I guess. That’s because they spent all the rest of the time driving us insane. When I walk in the door from work time-out needs to be called. So I take my self right in my room, close the door, and call time-out. I do have some advantage. My husband does as much around the house and with the kids, if not more, than I do. So he needs that get away also. We often threaten to leave and not come back. Empty promises I’m sure.

Other times its more intentional where I just grab my purse and keys and hang out for the afternoon by myself. Next week though, Florida for me hunnie ;-) Malika Gurl,

I need a good cry that i been holding in for so long. To all the mothers out there married or not married we're the only ones that will that care of our kids. As much as we want to run a way we will be right back because we will miss the headache that they give us. My grandmother all would always tell us "the grass will not always be greener on the other side". Thanks Jamie Thanks so much for that.

This website definitely is not just for married mommies (oh No). It is a celebration of "the woman" behind motherhood, marriage, business and every other title/role we play. I believe that every mom is a working mom and it takes a village 4 sure. We are women first and although I am married, I enjoy meeting and connecting with women just like you. I find that there is no other site and/or community like this and my goal is to excite and ignite a fire in women to make take time for themselves. Fashion for moms, maternity apparel, tech gadgets, mom advice, events for moms, news and reviews can all be found here. This is a call to action. My way of expressing how we cry, laugh, share, care, and get a little stressed out also. Lets celebrate this and keep up the wonderful conversation mommies. And "remember 2 have make time 4 U, and have a cocktail on me!".

I don't have a husband but sometimes i want to say i'm out of here. I know some of u don't know how hard it is to raise kids without a man here. If i didn't have family help I don't know if i would still be here. Now i have a son that is 18 and this is his last year in high school. He is a good child i have never been to the school for him acting up are anything. He plays sports in school and to me and others he is very good at basketball. I also have a girl that is 11 years old and she is my baby. This one will never leave the house but that's ok. Shi also plays sports and wants to be like her big brother. She is also a great kid. What I'm saying is it doesn't matter if u are married are not. U still can raise good kids. Don't know if u all want to read this but that's my story. Thanks Jamie I feel u all on that one.

I so want a night out, girls night out, or me night out, but I'm so afraid to take it. I did have one opportunity for a girls night out, but my friend was in so much pain she couldn't move. I am way overdue for this. The last time I went out, I went to a comedy show with my husband and friends while in NY for labor day, my sis watched my little one, that was almost 3 months ago, my little one is almost 4 months.

When I want to run away and I get to leave the house by myself, I tell my husband I'm "going for cigarettes". Since I don't smoke, he gets the idea. Some days I end it with "be back when they're 18". I'm feeling a little better after a girls night out on Saturday with friends from college. It reminded me that I am a person in addition to being a wife, mom, Web Researcher and CEO of household. It also made me appreciate what I DO have. Hoping that feeling last throughout Thanksgiving because the kids will be home 5 days straight and my husband only has Thursday off! Hang in there!
