"I am a marathon worker and marathon mother. I'll spend three or four days completely swallowed up by..." — Mika Brzezinski

I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

I am up at 3:30, reading the op-ed pages and getting ready to be on the air by 6 A.M. on the set of 'Morning Joe,' and after three hours of TV and two hours on the radio, it is only 12 noon.

I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS, a marriage, and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price.

I try my best to be extremely disciplined about my diet.
