Dooce on Nightline - Posted by Catherine Morgan
In a much better interview than had been done by Kathie Lee on the Today Show last week, tonight’s Nightline interview with Dooce was witty, clever, and informative. Here is a video clip of the full segment on Nightline…

Is it just me or did Kathie Lee kinda “diss” mommy bloggers? Or maybe just minimize their importance? Here is the clip. What do you think?

Teen Driving and Twitchy Eye Syndrome - by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at BlogHer)
I’ve known this day was coming since the first day I held my son in my arms. The day he would start driving. I don’t know about other mothers, but this is sending me right to the edge of sanity. Since the first day (three weeks ago), I have had a constant twitch in my left eye. I don’t think it is a coincidence…I think it’s most likely an outward physical manifestation of my subconscious fears and anxieties over my son driving. I just made all that up, but you know what I mean, right? It’s what the doctor will put on my chart, just before they take me away in a straight jacket.
The best part is how my daughter keeps reminding me that in a little over a year, she’ll be old enough to get her permit too. Oh great! By then I’ll probably have twitches in both my eyes. Honestly though, how do parents do it?
The truth is, it’s not JUST that I’m a crazy, over protective mother. When I was in sixth grade, my step-brother was killed in a car accident…and up until that time in my life, I didn’t even realize that anyone other than ‘old people’ could die. I’ve since realized, that just about every senior class has at least one death caused by an automobile accident.
Years later, when I was a senior in high school, that person would be the girl who sat in front of me in accounting class. Then, about three years ago, my very close friend’s daughter was dating a boy in her senior class…and he would be the one. So, in my world, there is no pretending that these things don’t happen.
Even after all this, there is still a small corner of my brain that can still think rationally, and I know that both of my kids are probably going to be just fine. But, that doesn’t seem to stop me from worrying. And it hasn’t helped one bit with the twitch in my eye.
So, this post is my quest to try and find out how other moms cope with the stress of having a teen driver. It’s 2am here in crazy land, and both my kids are sleeping…I sure hope there are some moms out there blogging about this, I’d like to go to bed by 3am.
