Bunmi Laditan - Confessions Of A Domestic Failure

“Hello? Are you there? Can you do it?”

“YES, YES, I CAN DO IT. YES, PLEASE!” I scream-whispered into the receiver.

I still can’t believe any of this happened. Turns out, one of the moms was a “dog mommy” and didn’t have a human child, which got her disqualified.

I’m in. I’m actually in. I missed the kick-off party at Emily Walker’s studios, but the program officially starts tomorrow so I didn’t miss anything!

I slid down to the kitchen floor. It was happening. I was in.

“Hello? Are you there?” Rebecca’s voice spoke through the receiver.

“Yes, yes, I’m here,” I said, struggling to compose myself.

“As a member of the Motherhood Better Bootcamp, you’re required to attend weekly video chats with Emily Walker and the rest of the team. You missed the introductory one, but the first real chat is tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.”

“Uh-huh,” I responded, brilliantly. I felt like I was in a dream. Could I be dreaming? I looked around the kitchen at the empty takeout boxes. No, if I were dreaming my kitchen would be cleaner.

Rebecca kept talking. “In six weeks, you’ll be flown out to the gorgeous Napa Valley in northern California for the closing reception and a special taping of The Emily Walker Show. The $100,000 grand prize winner will be announced live. Is all of this something you can do?”

“Yes. I can do this,” I said, trying not to float away.

“Great. I’ll send the details to your email shortly.”

“Okay, thank you, Rebecca. Please hug Emily for me.” Did I just say that?

“I, um, okay. Goodbye.” The phone clicked off.

I sat there on the living room floor trying to make sense of what had just happened.

Tomorrow I would talk to Emily Walker face-to-face. Tomorrow was the first day of my new life.

Thank you, fairy godmother.
