I just figured out how to put into words how I feel as a mother. I said it in a message to a friend of mine tonight and thought I'd post it.
I often feel like I'm the Bridget Jones of motherhood....awkwardly working my way through, arsing things up more often than not, and constantly sticking my foot in my mouth and looking like an idiot. The physical similarities are there too. We're both overweight (though me more so than "Bridget"....I'd KILL to weigh what Renee Zellweger weighed while filming that movie), wear clothes that cling in all the wrong places (though I do have a baby to help show off my ample cleavage by pulling down the neck of all my tops), have limp hair (no matter how much I TRY to find a decent style), and we're both just generally uncomfortable in our own skin.
I really hope the Bridget Jones author comes out with another sequel about Bridget becoming a mother. I'd LOVE to see that. It would really make me feel better.

I feel like I am totally Bridget too. But I felt more like in the relationship sense. lol. Tony is my Mark Darcy lol.
Oh perfect! This sounds like me too. :)
Sounds like me! Except I don't smoke. hahahah. I've often thought about starting my journal entries on my weight and what I ate that day that was not good for me. hahaha.
