reality bites, and cries, and swears...

The lovely ExMi (short for Expensive Mistakes & Cheap Thrills) tagged me a million years ago to participate in the Real Mom Meme. The idea is to have lots of mom-bloggers add a link to a post in which they discussed a particular trait of Real Motherhood. I like it, and I'm finally getting around to doing it (so I am #8 if you're in the same kind of Thursday funk that I am and need really clear direction...)
