"  I was on the phone with my best friend from high school yesterday morning when I said, &amp;quot;Hold on.&amp;quot; And then I proceeded to shout at my children, &amp;quot;Get off of him right now!&amp;quot; When I got back to the phone, my friend said, &amp;quot;Wow!&amp;quot; I asked her, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re scared of me now, aren&amp;#039;t you?&amp;quot; It was a glimpse into what sometimes happens in my house and, probably, in every mom&amp;#039;s house. And I&amp;#039;ll bet it made her feel better for yelling at her own kids, possibly while holding the phone in her other hand. Sometimes when I need to be reassured that I&amp;#039;m not the only one who yells in the general direction of the couch, I like to read other mom bloggers who aren&amp;#039;t afraid to share the dirty little secrets and mayhem of motherhood. Here are three of my favorites: Jenny on the Spot (http://www.jennyonthespot.com/) Jenny Ingram professes to letting her kids &amp;quot;make moustaches out of whipping cream&amp;quot; and making &amp;quot;smart mom smores,&amp;quot; which she says are &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t Want to Build A Fire... I Can&amp;#039;t Find Any Wire Hangers... and also I Hate Dealing with Sticky Roasted Marshmallow Goo - So Let&amp;#039;s Just Pop These Babies In The Oven, Smores.&amp;quot; Jenny is the kind of mom you don&amp;#039;t straighten up the family room for, because you know she won&amp;#039;t do it for you. She has an entire category dedicated to &amp;quot;Peeves,&amp;quot; which include: the overuse of pronouns, eating while on the phone and grown-ups who report they &amp;quot;peed,&amp;quot; which, she says, &amp;quot;sounds so much different coming from the mouth of a toddler than it does from and adult.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;ll find funny photos, entertaining embedded videos and plenty of down-and-dirty reports on what&amp;#039;s going on in her house with three kids. Manic Mommy (http://manicmommy.blogspot.com/) Stephanie Elliot&amp;#039;s blog promises that &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a method to her manic.&amp;quot; On Tuesdays, she posts her &amp;quot;Twos Day,&amp;quot; a blog of two words at a time, such as: Now Nap? Twenty Minutes Bus Soon This OK? Sure IS! Stephanie, who also writes for Betty Confidential, blogs about motherhood and much more as though she has video cameras hidden in my house. In &amp;quot;Getting Dressed,&amp;quot; she admits: &amp;quot;You know it&amp;#039;s bad when you are getting dressed and you start by clipping on your bra and you say the silent mantra: I hate bras I hate bras I hate bras I hate bras while you are putting it on.&amp;quot; For quirky and fun posts about everyday life, visit Manic Mommy, but BYOV: Bring your own Valium. Notes from the Trenches (http://www.notesfromthetrenches.com/) Chris Jordan says she &amp;quot;gave birth to more kids than you can count on one hand, and after thirteen years of parenting still looks around and wonders when the real mother is going to come home.&amp;quot; How this mother of seven even has time to blog, let alone blog so well, I&amp;#039;ll never understand. Under a photo of all her kids she writes, &amp;quot;No she not Catholic or Mormon. Though she wouldn&amp;#039;t mind having a sister-wife because holy hell the laundry never stops.&amp;quot; After she and her family moved, she posted a picture of one of her kids playing baseball and wrote, &amp;quot;Where I was less than 24 hours after arriving at our new location. Some things never change.&amp;quot; Chris, who promises to fight &amp;quot;the war on terror, one tantrum at a time,&amp;quot; had this to say about texting while in the company of others: &amp;quot;Me: You know, there are some people who would think it was rude to be texting other people while sitting together Her: Thank god that&amp;#039;s not us. Me: Seriously, what is up with those people? Her: Like they have manners and s___. The funniest thing about this exchange? We were both texting Susan.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
