Dr. Laura

Dear Diary,

Morning. Ack Im all wound up, have to chill as youngest gave me total attitude about straightening up his room this AM, oldest wanted to go outside to the neighbors so youngest runs to get his shoes on and go out. Oldest cleaned up his room and brushed his teeth, youngest left toys all over his floor, blankets in the front room, tv on, so of course I called him back in and hes been in attitude lazy lame excuse argument mode. So I put him in his room door shut and said not to come until its done and come get me to check it. :::Deep breath:::

Its too early for this, lol I wanna relax.

So I got in at 1am. I had a good time and the show was great! My girlfriend thanked me for inviting her and said it was great(she was bawling in total tears at one point during the show)

We left about 4pm. Stopped at Paolis Italian Restaraunt before hand and had YUMMY food. I had a Margarita but it was so dang weak I didnt even get a slight buzz.

So by the time we got out of there we literally walked into the theater at 8pm! Which was the time the show started, it was at an old spanish style restored theater and was really pretty.

I was all DANG when I saw where we were seated, I bought the cheapest seats, $47 a person and when I called the lady told me its a small theater so there are not really any bad seats. So we were like 5th row on the very right of the theater, we just couldnt see the very right hand corner of the stage but that was okay.

The stage was set up like a living room, an office and a studio.

So she went into each little space to talk about certain things. Its basically a day in her life and how it works, but it was also stories, about her family and childhood.

It was good, I found the little we did learn about Dr. Laura fascinating, I would have loved to have heard more! The show simply wasnt long enough in my opinion! lol

It was 2 hours and we had a 15 min break between each hour.

Me and my girlfriend K had been talking althrough dinner about how we are as women in our lives today, and about relationships, being in control, not wanting to be vulnerable, not wanting to owe a man something, etc etc, and fear n stuff and how we realize where we are and focusing on the negative… anyways, at one point my girlfriend touched my arm cause everything Dr. Laura shared about her reason for doing this show, and how she didnt before, was she was scared of being vulnerable, letting people into her life, because all her life she was brought up to be PERFECT and if she didnt appear perfect and smart then she didnt want to appear at all. And she measured the quality of life by perfection instead of about love and what you can give.

So we went through her day, her workout and exercise routine, her childhood, her parents were fascinating, her Dad was in the military a Jewish Boy from NY who married a woman from Italy. And how when he brought her home his Jewish family was cruel and mean to her, because he married outside of his religion. So they called her demeaning names, when he went to work the in law would call often and tell her she wished she would die, in a car crash, a train, crossing hte street, and wished that Laura her daughter would die also. Then at age 7 or so Dr, Laura’s parents sat her down for a talk, because people began saying Laura wasnt his daughter because they were mad the Jewish boy married her so they said it cant possibly be his child(Dr. Laura said she and her dad looked alike)

Just lots of fascinating stuff.

She talked about the 60s and her time as a feminist and she even got her tubes tied. And how a show Nova on PMS showing the miracle of conception and the birth of a baby opened her eyes up and changed her and made her realize that was what life was about, so she got her tubes untied. It was difficult and she had a hard labor. Anyways her son is like 20 now and hes enlisted in the Navy I believe.

She showed how she prepares for her show and pulled letters and stories out from files to read. Some were so funny and ridiculous and the part that just was so sad, was she first read a news story of a woman who forgot about her baby in her car all day long and the baby died, but the woman even forgot she didnt even take it to the daycare and went to pick it up end of the day and the daycare said she didnt sign him in. So. She talked a lot about how important it is to raise our own children and how people are so caught up in themselves and not there kids and our kids are our first priority.

So she had this woman who wrote her a letter after the story aired and she wrote a perspective from the view of the baby left in the van, that was the part where we cried, just the baby saying “Mommy forgot to take me out, shes busy, its okay, I will cry and she will take care of me” and on and on and on about the baby left alone and the excuse “Mommy cant help it, shes busy”

She read another letter from a caller who called in with a brain tumor, and basically she could either live a few mos no surgery and die or have surgery but loose her vision and hearing. Well she had the surgery, and wrote in on how shes lost partial vision and hearing so far, but it will progress more but shes spent time with her grandkids, planted a garden, made afghans, and on and on and how she spoke about all our lives our valuable its what we give to others that people will remember.

She talked about how hated she is, Dr. Laura, how many hate sites are on the net dedicated to her, shes all “I have more hate sites then Hitler! And Hitler has fan sites! and he killed people??”

The question and answer time was really good too, people submitted there own questions on cards she did on stage. Well they were good then she gets to this one and it was really hostile and first Dr, Laura said “So you paid to come here?” lol and then the person was attacking her about saying to raise your own kids but how shes worked and had her son and shes a judgemental hypocrite.

Ohhhhh boy.

So Dr. Laura went over being on MSNBC with this interviewer and how the woman said “Arent you an abusive mother?” out of left field on tv, and basically the reporter said because of Dr, Laura’s views and how people treat her and dont like her in many circles and media that shes abusing her son by the negative press??! LOL Dr. Laura said “I have this on tape! The woman was a Bitch!”

Her sons response when Dr, Laura said all this to him “Son is what Im doing hurting you? If so Ill stop” He said with his hands on his hips “Cmon my mom is not a wienie”

But anyways she worked with her son at her feet, she worked nights after he went to bed, and when he started school she worked during his school hours. And she just asked the person who wrote the question “Why didnt you just ask me “How did you do it having a child?” instead of an instant attack?

acckkk gotta finish this later, big sis on phone….
