Confessions.

Have you ever:

Had to pick Chuck E Cheese tickets out of your bed at night?

Gone pee-pee while on hold with the cable company (and had the dude answer a little sooner than you expected)?

Been tired enough to actually give your child a hostess cupcake to eat on the couch?

Awaken to a suspiciously warm, wet sensation coming from a sleeping child beside you and just closed your eyes again, praying for another 5 minutes?

Silently hoped the kids would fall asleep on the drive home so you wouldn't have to brush their teeth?

Slipped your kids a treat for being exceedingly cute, even though they'd had enough sugar already?

Been scolded for trying to flip multiple pages at once to get through a particularly obnoxious children's book?

Ignored your pressing To Do List so you could cuddle your kiddo on the couch?

Hidden candy wrappers at the bottom of the trash can so no one (not even you) will see the evidence of your binge-a-licious crime?

Been mid-diaper/ -mess/ -project and looked the other way while the baby ate something (that's right, I'm gonna say it)- from last night's dinner that he found on the floor?


...Oh. I have.

Haven't we all? But you forgot a few; Put your potty trained kid back in a diaper so you could lock him in his room with a movie, while you went to take a nap. Praised you kid for peeing on the playground because it wasn't in his pants. And my favorite, Congratulating your kid for hitting another child who has been being mean, while at the same time trying to look like you are punishing him.

I have given my kids skittles for breakfast because I didn't want to get up "just yet", & Trish and I had to unclog her toilet (that the kids HAD to use because they COULDN'T wait any longer) while wearing rubber gloves that weren't quite long enough to keep the "yuckies" out! all the girls were watching us and none of them would fess-up to who dropped the parfume bottle in the toilet and then flushed! To this day the smell of Rare Gold brings a little laugh!lol. The joys of motherhood!

No, never. I never fall asleep on page two of Berenstein Bears and my kids never eat brownies for breakfast. What to do list? That's problem one, never, ever, ever make those.
