Being a Hot Mom means being respected as a mom and a woman. And the key to being a Hot Mom is having a sense of humor about yourself and all the crazy situations that arise.

Through humor you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter no matter how painful your situation might be you can survive it.

Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing.

Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything even poverty you can survive it.

We're in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.

The climate the economic situation rising birth rates none of these things give me a lot of hope or reason to be optimistic.

A person who no matter how desperate the situation gives others hope is a true leader.

I think my children know that Mother's priority is to be with them first. But I don't think it has to be an either/or situation. Work is very important to me and it wouldn't be in the best interest of my children for me to stay home seven days a week.

I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
