We did go to Walmart (in our pj's), which I kinda felt bad about, especially when the checkout clerk asked if I was having a rough day. Geez, didn't think I looked THAT bad. As moms, we don't always do what is "expected" of us; we take shortcuts whenever we can, will do practically anything for a few more minutes of sleep, and we might not even eat all of our recommended vegetables in a day (or week). I felt the need to air out some of my less than stellar parenting moments - thus, the confession thread.
I CONFESS:
- that I almost always opt for foods that Henry can't make a mess with, even if they are boring and really have little nutritional value (i.e. Teddy Grahams).
- that I love it that Travis gets up with the baby in the morning and I get to sleep in - even on the weekends when I know that Travis could use the extra sleep more than I could.
- that last week, I INTENTIONALLY chose sleep over going to my doctor's appointment. Luckily, I was able to reschedule.
- that I HATE dressing Henry (or any baby). Most mothers like this, right?!? I can't stand it and have no interest in putting outfits together, thus, pj's to Walmart.
- that sometimes it's just easier to nurse Henry than to make a meal for him. (Although, one could argue that I am "making a meal" for him).
- that a couple of times, Travis and I have acted like we were going to the gym and gotten a babysitter, but instead, stayed home and held each other on the couch in silence.

I confess that I let Colby watch the DVD player in the car for even the shortest trips to town. I said I would reserve the DVD player for long trips but that didn't last long.
oh gosh, my list would be TOO TOO long to leave in a comment! SO I'll just do one that covers almost all the craziness... I confess that most days I go back and forth between feeling like I'm about to have a breakdown and wondering if I'm about to lose my mind. I have occasional moments of feeling like I'm a pretty ok mom, but they usually disappear with the next temper tantrum. There are also times when I wish there were some way to be able to parent my children one child at a time.
Just letting you know, The Charleston, SC arriving from my blog on your feed is probably my mother. She is Charleston this week and I just sent her the link to my blog and I'm most positive she clicked on yours from my blog:)
I confess that reading your confessions I laughed!! Seriously those are NOTHING!!! LOL! And I, like Sarah, have way TOO many to fit on this so I'll leave you one....I confess I haven't swept my kitchen in over a week...how gross is that?!!!!
I confess that I've not posted pictures of our new place because I don't think its clean and set-up enough to take pictures of it yet!
Oh, and sometimes I put new make-up over my make-up from the day before. That's right, that means I don't wash my face at night.... only in the morning : ) ...... sometimes : )
wow Ladies!! I love these.
Misty - no shame in the DVD player, kids gotta look at something.
Sarah - you are an amazing mother! This is all a test, don't you know?!?
Katie - I didn't know you had a blog. I'll have to read it.
Emily - gross about the floor - but i'll add that I haven't cleaned my shower in probably a month!
Anneke - LOL I'll bet your pillow case is dirty. Can't wait to see the new house.
