When the almost 100 million viewers plus those who attended the show live raved and squeeled about the performances of Adam Lambert and Kris Allen at the top rating American Idol, I had no idea that there was such an event! The only time I found out about its existence was when I checked on facebook and saw strong reactions from many friends (this is quite abnormal)! So, I got very curious and skipped nap time with the kids and started to search the net for the show and...lo and behold! I found myself glued to my seat watching every performance available! And while I danced and sang myself on "mute" mode, I cant help but laugh because if someone would see me, I would look like one crazy ignoramus who just learned how to have fun!

And so it goes...my life as a full-time mother and housekeeper. I cannot count the many important events and movies that I allowed to pass by because my kids needed me..or more truthfully, i needed them! I always get to treasure these events on a delayed fashion..when the whole world has simmered down and the celebrations have ceased. But fortunately, when I talk about it to family and friends, the thrill seems as fresh as when they saw it live...or maybe they just over react for my sake!

And so I ask myself: Does my state of living now qualify me to be a loser? Maybe, maybe not..but one thing's for sure, in the eyes of my kids..I'm their IDOL!!!:)
