Mommy Confessions

One of my favorite threads that is currently on going on my Mommy Board is our thread titled Mommy Confessions. Why? Because it is an ever changing (meaning that ish keeps getting longer) example of how incredibly human even the most Super Hero of moms are. Not one of us out there is perfect.
Now while I cannot share all of their confessions without permission, I can most certainly share my own and invite you to share yours.
Here I'll start.

* I keep my refrigerator stocked with yogurt, string cheese, and applesauce pretty much at All Times. Why? Because my kids can open those up at 7:30 in the morning and feed themselves.

* My 4.5 yr old knows how to work the Playstation, turn on Netflix and find cartoons. Meaning when they feed themselves at 7:30 in the morning, they also take care of their own entertainment.

* When my Monsters do the previous two, I keep sleeping. Yep, I make sure my bedroom door is open, the t.v. isn't too loud, and I get right back in my bed.

*  Despite the fact that I am nursing, I cannot give up my coffee. I've tried, I've failed. Sue me.

* Sometimes my kids eat Cheezits and Spaghetti Os for lunch. By sometimes, I mean at least once a week. By once, I might actually mean at least twice.

* I have watched more Power Rangers as an adult than I ever did as a kid.

* I have on occasion cooked eggs for dinner. And only eggs.

* I like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I have watched every episode with my daughters. Repeatedly.

* I use baby wipes to clean just about anything. Faces, tables, butts, hands, toys, car seats, windows; Yeah why bother continuing, I really do mean anything.

* I may or may not start the bedtime countdown in my head two hours in advance.

* I can type one handed efficiently, and feed a baby while doing so.

* I start bedtime at 7, especially on nights that Husband is working, because then I get to watch whatever I want on t.v. And gosh darn it, I am not ashamed of that little fact.

* I love being in the car by myself, because I can listen to whatever music I want. Especially the completely age inappropriate music that my girls can't listen to, for fear they might repeat expletives in front of family members...

* I steal my kids' Halloween candy. In fact, I've probably had more than they have.


I'm sure I could sit here listing many more, because no doubt there are countless I haven't mentioned yet. But that would take the fun out of a follow up post. :)
