I confess that, although I never used to leave the house without makeup on, there were two days last week alone that I ran errands without putting makeup on all day. In my defense, one of these occasions was to make it to the pediatrician 15 minutes after making the appointment and it is a 10 minute drive there. (I made it on time. Sam does not have another ear infection, so it was an unnecessary trip.)
I confess that the level of cleanliness in my home is very different than it was pre-kids, and I would not invite you in the front door without some frantic cleaning beforehand. I justify this with telling myself that Sam and Anna don't care and they would rather play with me, anyway.
I confess that I picked up food I dropped on the floor more than once today, and gave it to my children, which they ate. 5 second rule, right?
I confess that I'm more judgemental about other people's parenting practices than I should be.
I confess that I'm not really improving very much on eliminating swearing from my vocabulary. It's a mystery to me why I can at work, but not at home.
I confess that although I love all the extra time I'm spending with my cherubs this summer, I might have just swore a little to myself when they woke up super early from a nap today.
And now I feel just a little bit better. :)

Hahahahaha!!!
Oh, and I'm pretty sure I could "ditto" every one of those things.
"I am more judgemental of other people's parenting practices than I should be." Gulp! I am too! The key is, to be kind, and not to criticize.
But still....in my head, I'm thinking, "What the hell?!"
Yeah, the whole swearing thing---still do this too.
You're so cute! Love it! And you make me feel better when I can agree I've done those with my niece and nephew. :) Thanks for making me feel better!!
haha! No cussing at work AND at home, pretty much means no cussing. Which sucks. :)
So glad Sam doesn't have an ear infection. Addison's been tugging at her ears a lot lately, but I think her back teeth are coming in so that may be it. I hate having to make a judgement call on whether to call the doctor!
I actually think I'm now a little less judgemental because I know how hard it is.
Great post!
Confessing cleanses the soul :) I must confess...you sound like a terrific mommy!
That's funny. And the makeup thing? It's summer! Just tell people your foundation no longer matches your skin and you're trying to save money. Or just enjoy the no make up freedom. Good stuff though!
Totally. I wear make up once or twice a week now. I'm just aiming for showering every 24 hours or so.
Love the honesty! Ditto on 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Hahaha! I only didn't include 2 because we have our house on the market and it is amazing how that'll make you want to pick up after everyone and everything over and over again!
and.....I'm glad I'm not the only one who has taken my twins to the doctor and there is no ear infection. I'm taking them tomorrow actually!
Amen, sister! I can honestly say that EVERY single one of your confessions is true for me.
(and, I got a good laugh). :)
