Has your life come to this? Have your kids driven you beyond the edge? If you answered “yes” then you are a valid member of the twilight zone. Welcome!
“Rod Serling’s seminal anthology series focused on ordinary folks who suddenly found themselves in extraordinary, usually supernatural, situations.”

Mommies In Orbit has been rocketed into this supernatural orbit. My home is no longer my safe haven. My kids have driven me way, way out into space.
No kidding, how could two eleven year old kids take a perfectly good Mommy brain and squeeze the very life out of it?
Sure, they’re cute when you bring them home from the hospital. All dolled up in their darling baby clothes, they are a sight to behold. Don’t let them fool you.
Then reality sets in when you are least expecting it. They start to cry and scream and then they spit clear across the room from acid reflux, while turning the proud parents into a babbling ball of tears. When you finally get them to sleep peacefully in their cribs, and as you are tiptoeing out of the room, they snicker at you like baby hyenas, only you’re too freakin’ exhausted to hear it.
Whether you like it or not, your so-called-life enters the twilight zone, never to return to what you used to consider normal. Hell on wheels toddlers soon turn into pre-school monsters, who turn into grade school smart asses and then….. enter the dreaded tween years, with outstanding door slamming performances, non-stop talking and bickering, and roller coaster emotions. I’ve entered the twilight zone, and plan to be here for a loooong time, only to return to my previous life someday. In the meantime, please send vodka, the big bottle, no glass needed!
