Momservation: If it’s not on the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon does it really exist?

Dedication page from MOMSERVATIONS™ - THE FINE PRINT OF PARENTING

I have never been so glad to have just had my hair colored.

Found out yesterday that I will be appearing on Good Day Sacramento Thursday, May 6 at 8 a.m. to promote my book, MOMSERVATIONS™ - THE FINE PRINT OF PARNETING!

I was pretty excited about this, so after calling Hubby, my mom, Dad, MIL and texting my brother and SIL I was anxious to tell my kids the cool news. Meeting them after school I eagerly told them mommy was going to be on TV talking about the new book.

First reaction? They wanted to know if they got to get out of school for it.

Great – my success has been reduced to a Get Out of School Free card.

“No, I’ll DVR it for you,” I said a little deflated.

“Who’s going to take us to school then?” Whitney, 9, wanted to know.

“I don’t know – Daddy, Nana, Grampa. We’ll figure it out,” I quickly said before trying to get back to the more important subject. “So what do you think of Mommy being interviewed on TV about her book?” I looked at them, big anticipated grin on my face waiting to receive an appropriate reaction.

“Cool," said Logan, 10, like I just told him carrots are a good source of Vitamin A. “Can I go play at the park now?”

“Yeah, go ahead,” I said releasing him from any more obligated fake enthusiasm.

I turned to Whitney, hoping for one more shot at a little fan appreciation. “So Whit, pretty cool, huh? The ol’ Mom-moo on TV!”

Whitney nodded then excitedly said, “Hey, did you know Logan got three treats after school because there were three birthdays in his class! He’s so lucky…”

I tried to have no hard feelings about my kids’ lack of support and enthusiasm for my alter ego – working mommy. But not naming any names, someone might have served brussels sprouts for dinner in a little petty act of revenge.
