Confessions

Today at Friend Makin' Mondays, Kasey has challenged us to come clean. We are throwing out a few confessions, lightening the heavy burden of carrying around so much guilt. You should click on her cute button and join in the fun.

1. I owe my daughter $42.00 and have for about a year. I told her she will probably get paid back on her wedding day.

2. I fantasize about microwaving Hubby's favorite playstation game when I am mad at him. I would hide it or break it or scratch it up, but that would just be way too obvious.

3. I hid the bottle of Tylenol PM when I thought Hubby was just using it as a crutch to sleep through the baby crying at night. Yep. It's still in my makeup bag. (Shhhh!)

4. I don't cook on Sundays. My kids will all tell you this with disgruntled forlorn faces.

5. I have been known to throw away flowers (i.e. weeds) and about fifty million pieces of art drawn by my precious offspring. I am heartless, I know.

6. I kicked over the bucket of lizards the kids found and let them all run away.

7. I let Hubby drive off to a camping trip after realizing he forgot the propane bottle for the grill. But technically I was mad at him and he totally deserved that.

8. I have been known to pack up my kids' toys and drop them off at Goodwill if I have to pick them up more than twice. Yeah. I'm mean like that.

9. I do not sanitize my children's hands after leaving the grocery store or park.

10. I have been known to open a not-yet-purchased bag of crackers while shopping to quiet a crying baby. Hali tells me this is stealing but I disagree. I'm going to buy them anyways. Plus I'm doing them a favor.

11. On that note, I sometimes allow my children to pack around a toy they refuse to put back on the shelf while at the store. Then when I put it on the checkout stand I whisper to the cashier that I am not actually buying that. Nine times out of ten the kids don't even remember the unpurchased toy when we get home. It's cruel, I know but it avoids a meltdown at the store and I'm all about maximizing the peace.

12. I bribe my children with candy and my husband with....{ahem}. Well, I bribe my husband, too. I'm an extortionist, I know.


Okay, enough confessions for now. So why do I now feel even more guilty than before I started? I don't think this little exercise is working for me. Will I be charged for these services?

Okay, fair is fair. Share a little confession or two with us and see if the burden of guilt is swept away for you. Or else just make something up that sounds awful and make me feel a little better about myself. Thanks.
