A reader recently mentioned that reading my blog is her guilty pleasure (Hi Rachel!)! It got me thinking... I believe every mom has or should have a guilty pleasure. I think it's essential for our sanity. I believe firmly that without a guilty pleasure, we would lose it. You would see a lot of moms in rooms with padded walls. And I would definitely be one of them!
I felt the need to share my guilty pleasure. Usually, it's television. Currently, it's the Bachelor. Yes, I know it's ridiculous and filled with crazies. But I love it. I love watching the drama unfold and the girls trying to get ahead. I love the anticipation of the Bachelor picking the girl he wants to marry. Really? So ridiculous! There is no way a man can pick a woman through a show to marry for the rest of his life. I think that's why most don't end up together. But, it doesn't matter. I love watching it!!
Josh, on the other hand, sighs, pretends to gag himself and goes to the other room. Heehee. I feel the same way about his choice of shows (hockey, football, soccer, basketball, etc.) so I think it's only fair. I'm just grateful that every once in awhile he lets me actually watch my guilty pleasure! I'm sure I have more than one, but that's the one that is currently in my mind...
What about you? What is your guilty pleasure????
Never wanted to admit it, but I watch that too and Steve hates it. And I love psychoanalyzing each woman and saying to myself that it's sad that they're on here looking for a man. And I never want anyone to know that I watch it, but I'll admit it since you did. It's like a little escape to what I think should be unreal. I also love The Biggest Loser, Parenthood, and a selection from NBC's comedy night- The Office, Outsourced, and Parks & Rec....I'm confessing. And when my husband (all too frequently) goes to bed early on Friday and Saturday I like Dateline and 48 Hours Mystery. Somehow all these shows either make me laugh, inspire me, or make me realize how blessed I am.
