Since my family has been out of town, I have eaten either ice cream or candy every single night at home alone. Sometimes, that's basically dinner. Probably explains why I've been feeling like crap...
I'm using DD's dislike of going shopping to get out of going to the renaissance faire this weekend. I really don't want to go! It is 2.5 hours away going to cost $40 to get in plus food and what not and it is supposed to be 90+ degrees and it is in an open field with no shade. I could make DD go but why should I when 1. I don't want to go and 2. I don't want to deal with her bad behavior because she is bored and 3. staying home and lounging in the pool sounds so much more fun.

1. Sometimes I catch up on some of my TV shows on the occasional day I work from home. 2. I spent way too much money at Justice (and no sales or coupons) a couple weekends ago getting DD some things for school. But it was so much fun shopping with her and seeing what she likes to wear. Sometimes I think we spend more on DS because of sports fees and gear, so I wanted to try and balance it out for DD.

My house looks like a total cluttered wreck all the time. I say it's b/c we lives downstairs and my sister lives upstairs so we have very little space...but I think that's probably not true.
I am so bored at home that my house has never been cleaner and I purging and the confession part is that I am enjoying enough that I am contemplating getting rid of my cleaning company. They haven't been doing a great job lately and they lost my key. Then lied about it. Only came clean when I wasn't home last time and they couldn't get in
I have always heard that moms are supposed to sacrifice and give the best to the children: cuts of meat, biggest slice of pizza or pie, candy. I don't. If I get to it first, its usually mine.
Oh. My house. Yeah, that’s another one. My house always looks like we are cleaning out every closet simultaneously to prepare for a move. There is crap everywhere!
I’m an introvert. Some girlfriends recently lost their jobs, so I invited them over tomorrow with their kids to swim and chat. Now the weather is iffy. Introvert me is really overwhelmed thinking about having everyone here, and I’m secretly cheering for severe thunderstorms.
Also, I eat so much cheese that I don’t understand how the blood is actually moving through various vessels. They should be completely clogged.

Hahaha not in my house. Giving the kids the best of everything teaches them that they are better than you. Also they don't appreciate nearly as much.
I will give the the last of things. The last cookie or the the last piece of meat. And my parents would make sure I ate if we were low on food and there wasn't enough for everyone. I would definitely do that, but not the best.

Maybe I am a bad person.
I give the kids the last of something all the time, but they and I typically don’t agree on what the best is. Although both of them will totally grab food off my plate if they want something they think looks good.
I am not sure what makes something the best food. And sometimes we disagree and it’s a non issue. Otherwise I take it or we rotate.
My confession is that I must be too honest or boring because I never have any good confessions. Oh I thought of one. I had a dream I had a relationship and make out session with a friend. I thought he was attractive in the dream. Upon waking, not so much.

I could have written this!! As much as I love my friends, I love my quiet home time even more!
Also, I steal my kids' candy. A lot. Any time they have any. I take some. I think they're onto me and no one has gotten hurt yet, so...meh...

I am stalking petfinder for a new dog. Like, obsessively. It is not healthy. If only we didn't need a hypoallergenic dog. Also, I am amazed at how many rescues turned us down due to our kid's ages (6 and 3). I am glad they are being so cautious, but I never knew how tough it would be to rescue a dog.
I got a “I know we are both married but if we weren’t ...” text from a casual acquaintance. That isn’t the confession. My first thought was damn, this isn’t going anywhere. Then I’m more flattered than offended. It was pretty left field, we don’t text. My third thought was maybe he meant to text someone else.
My response was above board and not too prudish - “I think you are great, except for perhaps the inappropriate text I just received so let’s just not do that again.”
It’s been a couple weeks and I am still confessing this which leads me to WTF is wrong with me??

I got my hair colored during my workday yesterday. It’s not something I normally do but my grays were really bad and I needed to get it done. It’s the one thing that makes me feel really old.
mommyatty, I also eat like a 9 year old. And I like it. I do not like the extra 30 lbs I’m carrying around. Sigh. mae0111, I do that all the time when I make plans. And then I have fun and I’m glad I did it. And then I do it again and wish I hadn’t.
