ORDINARY CELEBRITIES
Martina McBride, Sara Evans, and Wynonna Judd may be famous singers who have sold millions of albums, but they are no different than the rest of us mothers.Each one of them have shared parenting stories with the morning show that we have all been through. I thought I'd share some of the ones that made me feel like I'm not alone.Martina McBride once told us even she has feelings of "mom guilt." That feeling that comes over you when you have to be away from your kids for work. She is proud of the fact that she limits the number of days that she travels. And when she's gone, the girls are usually with grandparents.Even Brad Paisley told us he feels bad that his wife handles the majority of the baby duties when he's gone, so he tries to make up for it when he's home.Wynonna told us about the time she performed a show, in full makeup and glamorous clothes, only to walk off stage and have her son say, "I pooped. Change my diaper."Sara Evans told me in New York City that her kids travel with her on the bus, which makes potty-training interesting. In fact, Sara was celebrating that day because Olivia "went-went" on the potty. That's code for number two.These stars are just like us. Proud parents with countless stories to share.
