I Wish I Was One Of Those

I Will Tell You What I Can't Abide - And I Think The Internet Has Really Created A Space For It - Women Criticizing Other Women And Mothers Criticizing Other Mothers.

The News Of My Pregnancy Got Out When I Was In The Middle Of My First Trimester. I Hadn't Even Had A Chance To Tell My Friends. That Alone Was So Ugly. It Made Me Hyper-protective ... I Feel Uncomfortable With People Reading Too Much About My Pregnancy Or My Relationship. It Grosses Me Out. It's Too Sweet To Read About Or Dissect.

I Feel Lucky, Though, Because Even When 'alias' Was Popular, I Was Still Sent Scripts Against Type. I've Never Felt Like The World Only Sees Me One Way. But Yes, It's Been Really Fun To Be Bad.

I Adore Going To Movie Sets And Being Part Of A Team Trying To Create Something. And Yet, I Hate To Miss Even One Bedtime With My Girls. . . My Sisters Both Are Working Mothers. I Understand That My Being An Actress As Well As Being At Home Isn't Some Heroic Thing. That Doesn't Mean It Isn't Confusing Or Difficult--especially That Question Of How You Find A Balance.

We All Have A Responsibility To Volunteer Somewhere And I'm Lucky That I Get The Education And Get Taken To Places To See What's Out There And See What's Happening And To Then Be A Part Of It In Hopefully An Impactful Way.
