'Fess Up Friday

Friday is here once again!  So you know what that means, confession time!  Time to clear the old conscience and ease into the weekend feeling free.  Head over to Mamarazzi and see why she is sitting in something wet.  Glad to know she isn't married to Mr. Perfect!  Anyway, this post isn't about her.  It is all about me!

I confess that when I wrote yesterday's post, I had no idea that it would resonate with that many people.  I only have a few comments on my blog but the personal emails and FB messages I got were overwhelming.  I struggle off and on with depression and I wanted to paint a word picture of what I feel when I am down.

I confess that I am blessed to have so many people who love me both on here and IRL.

I confess that getting 3 hours sleep last night is gonna come back to haunt me at the high school sleep over we are having with our teens at church tonight.  I am gonna need massive infusions of coffee and concealer.  Maybe I can squeeze in a nap today!

I confess that I am appalled by the bounty put on Tim Tebow's virginity.  In case you didn't hear, a website(I will not name) that is known for promoting infidelity has offered $1 million for proof that someone had sex with Tim in his 1st year with the Jets.  They seem to think that he can't make it to the marriage bed with his purity intact in NYC.  1st, have the been to the Univ of FL?  There are some hotties that go to school there and they wear bikinis.  I would find it highly unlikely that NYC girls are any hotter(no offense).  2nd, this just opens him up to so much trash and skankiness.  He has been added to my prayer list.

I confess that this week's cold snap caught me completely off guard.  I am ready for some more upper 60s low 70s weather!

I confess that I am slowly coming out of my fog, though, I don't think the no sleep thing is going to help.  I am grateful!

I confess that I am bummed that I couldn't participate in Mama's swap.  I just couldn't fit this one in!  I had so much fun last time.  There's always next time!

Confessions of a Tired Mommy

I confess that I stay up too late.

I confess that I like staying up late.

I confess that I don't like getting up early.

I confess that my children do usually before 7 am.

I confess that I like to nap.

I confess that my children consider it punishment to nap.

I confess that I apply this punishment on an almost daily basis.

I confess that I got this from my mom.

I confess that my husband participates in this confessional.

I confess that he hates to fall asleep and will wait until he falls asleep reading and leaves the light on.

I confess that that wakes me up and I have a hard time going back to sleep.

I confess that that makes me angry.

I confess that I think of ways to torture said light culprit without getting caught.

I confess that I let him sleep while I fume beside him.

I confess that anger keeps me from sleeping.

I confess that not sleeping makes me tired.

Ten things a Mom Can Do When.....

....she has a day or 2 without kids.

1. Relax by the pool/ocean without worrying about anyone drowning. She may even fall asleep.

2. Have a complete conversation without being interrupted by "mommy, mommy, mommy"

3. Shop without having to take anybody pee or worry about them getting bored or breaking something.

4. Sleep late! 'Nuff said.

5. Eat a HOT meal. Not having to cut up anyone's food or take someone to the bathroom means her food is still hot!

6. Eat an ice cream cone without having to share it with anyone.

7. Read an entire chapter or paragraph without being interrupted.

8. Get a shower before 10 pm or after 8 am.

9. Go somewhere with ease. No diapers, bottles, extra change of clothes, or car seats to fiddle with.

10. Play a game with other adults!

Transparent Thursday

1. I confess I was the woman at the gas station doing calf raises while filling up my minivan. Since it takes hundreds of $$$$ and lots of time, I am simply multitasking. My van is full and my calves are in better shape.

2. I confess that the birds outside my windows DRIVE ME NUTS!!!!! On the days, I want to sleep in they begin to speak to one another and then gather around my bedroom windows. The chirping begins in earnest then. Squeak, squeak, squawk, squawk, cheep, cheep, tweet, tweet. If I had my gun, they would be dinner. Someone call the NRA!

3. I confess that I love a nap. I would rather nap than exercise, read, or clean! 2 hours in my bed is worth so much more in the life of my family!

4. I confess that I am confused! Some people that I thought I could trust, I am finding out that I may not be able to. That hurts! For people to be purposefully hurtful, to me, is a foreign concept. I would never seek to harm someone or ruin their reputation or integrity.

What is you confession? What can you share?
