Making a confession feels almost as good as making a resolution, but without all the work. (Try it this year for a nice change of pace.) Here are some of my New Years Confessions:
*Against every parenting principle I hold dear, I recently paid my 3 year old a quarter to put on her jacket.
*I keep my mismatched socks in a big bag. Last week I went through the bag to make matches and made a new record--FORTY-NINE Pairs of socks!
*Sometimes I buy candy and hide it so I don't have to share.
*I think Dumb and Dumber is one of the funniest movies ever and that disturbs me.
*I don't iron anything, ever. That's what a dryer is for. My husband recently asked if we could please buy an ironing board so he could iron his dress shirts.
*When I was having my son, Zachary, I hit a nurse. In my defense, she deserved it.
*I have blamed broken things on the children.
*When I was in grade school, I kicked a girl in the shins. Hard. When she went to tell the teacher, my friend Annie lied and said I didn't do it. And who would believe that sweet little Amy would do such a thing?
*I once shattered a toilet tank cover at Wingers. Long story, very embarrassing.
*Once when I was in college, I drove my car to school, then forgot I drove and walked home. The next day when I woke up and went to the parking lot, I thought someone had stolen my car. Plus, I got a ticket for overnight parking.
I found my digital camera, but now the battery is dead. So as soon as I get a battery I have some pictures of all the projects I've been working on.
