Then I became a mother and spent the next decade driving around listening to Kidz Bop. Just when I thought I would lose my mind,
I found the FM button and Christian radio.
Dave Ramsey is great, but he makes me feel guilty.
The Christian apologist's talk show host is brilliant, but sometimes
he's boring.
So I discovered how to plug my MP3 player in.
One track Bluegrass, the next some monk singing, the next a Heart tune.
It was very cool until I lost the player.
I decided to become a little more knowledgeable about modern life.
And I learned the names
50 cent
Shinedown
Lady Gaga.
Then, when I felt very hip,
I mentioned the name,
Eminem,
to my students,
and they laughed.
"We'd expect you to like him 'cause you're a mom. That's who likes him, you know - middle aged moms!!"

lol, i didn't know I liked eminem...ha ha
My kids think I'm up on all the artists today - actually I just read People. Try it. :)
I stick with oldies but goodies.
Love the cartoon.
I should have pre-warned you...sorry, I will forever feel guilty about it.
Throw around T-pain, T.I., Flo Rida, and that The Black Eyed Peas are back together.
They will be impressed then.
I listen to all types of music...but some of that stuff drives me batty...and I let the kids know this. Perhaps a sign of old age?
You are too funny.
Ok, now I´m feeling really ancient! ´Cause some of these names I´ve never even heard of! :)
Well you are way hipper than me and that Marlene is a show off!
Don't you know eminem would just crap to think it's only moms that like him. Just think, in 40 years rap will be the golden oldies...
Scary, huh...

I know Eminem has been around a while now but I still don't think he is really appealing to "middle aged moms" as a whole. I consider you hip! :)
I don't know any "middle aged moms" who like Eminem. Weird! And there's nothing wrong with AM! That's where NPR is! :D
Stick with classic rock. And make fun of their music - say it's all bubblegum pop!!
Eminem knowledge = Middle Aged Mom? Holy mackerel. Let me dial the assisted living facility pronto.
p.s. Your background/template has finally loaded on my dial-up internet and WOW. Love the colors. Is that flower on the left Simply Red? Or is the one above it Moody Blue?
Thank heaven we have a classic rock station that everybody loves!
And I'm a middle aged mom who can't stand Eminem.
Hilarious :) Glad to hear you have a bluegrass tune on the mp3-now you just need to find it.
It is funny-when I look back over my life I can see those different "mes" too. I've been defined as a Mom for so long-now as my girls grow older-I wonder who I'll be next.
