A Mom's Guilty Pleasures

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! Hope you had a wonderful day. I know I did--my family "gave" me a gift of one of my most guilty pleasures: I got to sleep in! I slept till 11 a.m. and could have slept longer but that would have felt way too guilty. Later in the day, I indulged in one of my other guilty pleasures (reading People magazine) and then watched the "Survivor" finale (I was pulling for Amanda!).

It's not often that parents get to indulge, but we sure deserve it every now and then! If reading Us Weekly magazine happens to be one of your guilty pleasures, then be sure to check out my brief quote in the May 19 issue on page 69. (In a nutshell, the story mentioned Angelina Jolie who allegedly will give birth in June; I'm quoted as saying that travel late in the third trimester is not wise since you could end up giving birth prematurely somewhere that you can't get medical care.)

What guilty pleasures do you miss, now that you're a parent? Which ones do you still enjoy? I'll check your responses after this week's "American Idol"! ;)
