Midweek Confessions...

Linking up with E, Myself and I for

1.  Obviously, I must confess that it's no longer "midweek." 
2.  The fact that my blog header is driving me CRAZY.  I have spent WAY too much time tonight trying to get it figured out.
3.  We've had a rough sleep week around here, so I've maybe not been the best teacher this week.  Lots of, "Ok kids, now you're going to do independent work."  UGH... not so much fun!
4.  I have candy in my classroom for prizes and I CAN'T STOP eating it!  The Tootsie Rolls get me every time!
5.  I still watch Grey's Anatomy.  I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I can't stop.  Every season I say that I'm going to stop watching it... and I never do. 
6.  Even with gas prices as high as they are, I pulled the "My baby just fell asleep in the car, so I'm going to keep driving... even though I don't have anywhere to go" move tonight.  Poor Thomas REALLY needed a nap... so I drove for an extra 20 or so minutes.  BEST. MOM. EVER, huh?

I probably have WAY more I could confess, but it's 9:45 so I'm EXHAUSTED!  HAHA... not kidding.

Midweek Confessions #2

Again this week I am linking up with E, Myself, and I to do midweek confessions.  What do I have to confess this week...?

1.  As much as I denied that I was going to neglect my dog once I had a child, sometimes I do... :(  There are days when I go almost the whole day without petting her.  I mean, I have a baby with me most of the time, and I don't want to get my hands dirty... AGAIN.

2.  I bought stocking stuffers for my husband at MARTINS this year!  Nothing like going on a grocery run and also getting Christmas presents.

3.  The above mentioned stocking stuffers were a Scooby Doo ornament, fruity Tootsie Rolls and a pancake flipper with a gingerbread man on it... great gifts, huh?  HAH!

4.  I bought Todd the pancake flipper so that he would get the hint that I wanted pancakes for breakfast on Christmas morning!

5.  This is more a confession of my parents, but still, I feel like I need to share... Thomas currently has 3 "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments.  Todd has 2 from when he was a baby.  Frosty has 2 "Puppy's First Christmas" ornaments... I have NONE marking my first Christmas. 

6.  I had to have a tetanus shot yesterday and my arm really hurts.  I am a big baby.

7.  I didn't sing Todd "Happy Birthday" at any point yesterday (it was his birthday).  Technically this was per his request... but still...

8.  I started this blog post awhile ago.  Then Thomas started crying.  I am happy to NOT have to confess that I ignored him so that I could finish... But I do have to confess that a part of me kinda wanted to.

Check in next week to see what I'll have to confess. 

Hoping to get a "Year in Review" post done tomorrow... it kinda was a big year! :)

Midweek Confessions

So I am a day late linking up to "Midweek Confessions" over at E, Myself, and I... but oh well... Thursday is still midweek, right?

So this is my first time linking up and I've decided to go with midweek confessions, Christmas style... I'm a little too new to this to do any MAJOR mommy confessions! :)

So here goes...

1.  I absolutely HATE when people mix colored lights, white lights, big bulbs, little bulbs, flashing lights, not flashing lights, etc. when decorating their homes for Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas lights outside, but stick with ONE theme.

2.  It hit me when complaining about #1 to my husband, that maybe people that mix lights do it because their children get to pick what goes outside.  You know, one wants colored lights on the door and the other wants white lights on the tree, and another wants lights that flash... and if this is the case, I'm sorry for complaining... but if it is not, RETHINK your decorating.

3.  My dog currently has more Christmas presents than my child.  Granted, Thomas is only going to be 6-weeks old on Christmas, but still...

4.  Notice the SIZE difference between the two stockings in the picture above.  We're so cheap we are waiting until AFTER Christmas to get Thomas a real stocking! 

5.  This is the first year in a LONG time I didn't do any baking.  I believe I have a good reason for that, but still, it was kinda weird.  Todd and I did enjoy making Chex mix for some coworkers, but that's not really  baking...

6.  We are most likely going to go "A Christmas Story" style this year and get Chinese food for Chirstmas dinner... for the SECOND year in a row!  Last year we were on "Christmas Layover" between Todd's parents and my parents, this year we're not traveling, and it's the ONLY thing open on Christmas... FRA RA RA RA RA! 

Do you have any midweek confessions you'd like to share?  Leave a comment! :)
