Confessions

Tonight seemed a night to unburden myself of confessions.  A rough day of unpacking will do that to you.  Remember… don’t take yourself too seriously – life is too short.

Confession #1.  Sometimes I buy clothes and wear them without washing them. (Under garments excluded).

Confession #2. I only like 2 ice cubes in my drinks. More than 2 – they hit you on the nose and less than 2 – they melt too fast.

Confession #3.  I’m currently wearing shorts from the Good Will.  (I washed them first.) I find nothing wrong with shopping sensibly. Almost all my kid’s clothes are bought from a second hand store.

Confession #4.  I once took a walk and came home with an empty stroller… because someone in the “rich neighborhood” near us put it out for free. See Confession #3 for further explanation
.

Confession #5. I seriously think Caillou needs a spanking. And his “enabler” narrator needs to stop justifying why he’s always upset or whatever. Sometimes you just do things because an adult tells you to.

Confession #6.  I never dry my hands after washing them.  When I was younger my dad used to “check” to see if I washed my hands after using the bathroom.  If they weren’t wet – I had to go wash again… its sort of ingrained.

Confession #7.  I think Ann Coulter is a bit of a right winged lunatic.  (I give my dad 3 days from this post to call about this. … )

Confession #8.  I own a book called the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers.  I know. …  I know…. – but – I find the mind of a sociopath interesting.

Confession #9.  My washer is currently broken.  It sort of washes… it just doesn’t really spin correctly. And yes, I took my kids to the beach instead of fixing it.

Confession #10.  We also lived in this house for 4 years with a stove that had exposed wires…. because I didn’t want to shell out the money on a good stove and didn’t want to buy a junky one.

Confession #11. When I wake up in the middle of the night – I check my blackberry to see if someone commented on the blog or e-mailed me.

Confession #12. I have a secret crush on Sean Connery.  Yes. That one.

Confession #13. I only open our mail once a month.  I seriously can’t handle it to open it every day.

Confession #14. I wear a size 11/12 shoe. Yes. You read that right. Stinking Pregnancy… no one’s feet should be that big.

Confession #15. I almost forgot! I wore a bathing suit to the beach this past week that I got when I was pregnant with the twins.  That means....  **- it is 4 years old. ** - it was maternity.  ** - it fell apart while we were at the beach.  *sigh*

Sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves.  Confessions are good for the soul.  There is nothing wrong with owning your little quirks.
