Top 10 Ways Moms Are Like Celebrities
(modified from a post by Nikki Wilson)
10. As soon as they are spotted, they get no peace. ("Mom, I'm hungry." Or, "Mom, he hit me!")
9. They hear their name chanted incessantly on a daily basis.
8. They often deal with loss of voice due to overuse.
7. They have the same set of groupies following them around demanding favors.
6. Their adoring fans usually want something from them. ("Mom, I love you so much...can I have the car keys?)
5. Hectic schedules interfere with regular eating habits. ( I am typing this between bites of a sandwich that is actually my breakfast that I am eating at 11am)
4. Some people mistakenly think they have unlimited supplies of money. ("I need to rent a tux for choir and there's an art fee and a music fee....and can I take fencing lessons?")
3. They often get encore requests. ("Mom, I forgot my lunch/homework/important project... please come back to the school and bring it with you.")
2. Their clothing choices are sometimes questioned. ("Gee, Mom, that outfit makes you look...matronly.")
1. Their autographs are in great demand, especially at the most inopportune times. ("Mom, you have to sign my report card/daily behavior sheet/test grade/homework before the bus comes in 1 minute!!")

I love it! Lisa asked me this year if she could take fencing lessons.
How very, very true. And clever. I enjoyed this list immensely!!

No kidding! And their bodies are scrutinzed endlessly by the groupies. "Mommy! Your bum is ENORMOUS." That was my favorite.
Truly that is hilarious! I feel like that all the time with my 4 kiddos who are nearly 2, 4, 6, and 8 years old. They are about to all have birthdays back to back, and they are excited to say:
"2-4-6-8 Who do we appreciate? Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad!"
Hope you got my email--about Grant and Christian.
