Friday Confessional

I confess...

I can't stand it when my kid has boogers. Whenever I see them, I watch them like a hawk until James starts crying... (and we all know he will eventually). Then, since he is crying anyway, I do my best to get them out with a burb cloth. Which he hates. But I don't care because I can't stand them that much.

I confess...

I used to be exact when someone would ask me how old James is because I was so proud of how old he was. Now I round down to the nearest month (even when he is closer to the next month) because I think it gives me more forgiveness for my post-pregnancy body.

I confess...

I love Bethenny Frankel. Love, love, love. I can't stop watching her reality show, which you can watch for free on Bravo TV.com. I watched the episodes that featured the birth of her daughter and her life with a newborn (and live in help!!!) in the early days right after James was born and it makes me feel like we are bonded in some way, like we are new moms together. Even though she doesn't know me... Similarly, there are a few celebrities couples that I am fairly certain my husband and I would be really good friends with if we happened to meet someday. You just get a sense for some people, you know? :)

I confess...

I love it when any baby besides mine cries in public. It makes me feel like I am not alone in the world. And it makes me way too gleeful inside that it actually isn't my baby making a fuss for once.

I confess...

I get really irritated when I go to a garage sale and discover that all someone is selling are old knick knacks and similarly lame junk. NO one wants it!!!! You are supposed to sell things that actually have value. Not stuff that looks like you got it out of a landfill.

So what are your confessions today?

You totally had me cracking up with these! Especially about rounding down James' age and feeling happy to hear another baby crying! So funny! Isn't it funny to think how different this list was before having a baby??! Oh how parenthood changes things!

...I don't let Savino pick his own clothes out. He's going to be my Ken baby until I can't hold him down and dress him myself anymore. Other moms are all "Oh, I just let him/her pick out whatever they like!" Yeah well, you can tell.

...Sometimes, if a dish is just too gross to wash, I just throw it away. Life is too short to gag yourself scrubbing something gross.

...I make my kids get me stuff that I could easily get myself. Just cause. I birthed them.
