What would Cameron do....: Should I pee or should I go...

The reason I started this blog...

Two years ago, I was flying on a plane to take my son out to visit college prospects. I'm a nervous flyer, so I started reading an article in a magazine about Cameron Diaz. Now, I had never really thought about her other than being in movies, some good, some not so good. But, after reading the article, I was inspired! She does a lot of fun things! It basically said that she never says no to any kind of fun. I wondered what would happen if I started being more like that. I started incorporating the phrase "What would Cameron do?" into my daily life and I have to say, it has made a huge difference. So this blog is basically about me trying to be a more positive person and do things that initially inspire fear, but make my life more exciting! Kind of like the movie "Yes, Man"...but more realistic since I am somebody's mother and I have to plow through those piles of laundry and unload the dishwasher occasionally...Hope you enjoy my journey!

Should I pee or should I go...

When you are a childbirth "survivor", there are so many things nobody tells you. Sharing the thrill of your son's first steal to second base in little league. Watching your daughter giggling about her first crush. Taking the bladder you were born with and willfully exchanging it for a deflated water balloon. Nobody tells you that you will have exactly 37 minutes from the time you drink that first morning cup of coffee to when you will need to hit the johnny on the spot. Nobody tells you that you will map out your morning walks so that there are at least 3 toileting venues along your route. Can I make it once more around the supermarket? Can I make it once more around the block? Toilet paper is not a flexible spending account deduction my friends, but an IUD is....
