Mine: My life would be easier if we were nocturnal because my kid obviously does not like to sleep, anymore, ever! I just need to become a night person..ugh.

After my kids went to bed last night, I made myself five tacos. Five. And I may have also have three for lunch. Holy shit, I are eight tacos yesterday. At least they're black bean?? I have a problem.

In with you Cajun. Owen has decided all this week that 4:30am is "wake up and scream like a stab wound victim" time. He also woke up from a nap yesterday and wailed for 45 fucking minutes straight. After that I let him play with liquor bottles.

These new molars better be the nicest, whitest, biggest goddamn teeth I've ever seen. They had better shimmer with the dust of a thousand fairies.

I am going to an interview for a job I have no intention of taking.  They decided on a salary that was at the very end of the range advertised and it is not what I really want to do.  I am going just to practice my interview skills.

We are probably going forward facing this weekend.  Bryson won't bend his legs and he screams bloody murder the whole time we're in the car.  I can't concentrate with his sudden high pitched screams and have jerked the wheel on a few occasions.  I may have also bribed him with chocolate chip cookies this week because my nerves are already shot.

This one is horrible.  Four of my cousins have an on again off again relationship with their mom.  She drugged them with Benadryl when they were toddlers so they would "shut up a freakin' minute" (her exact words).  They divorced when the oldest was in 6th grade and she didn't speak to them for years.  She has used all of them since they've been a little older.  I found out yesterday she was missing and had been gone two weeks.  Even though I do love her regardless of her junk and I know it would cause heartache and worry for the kids, I kinda hoped she had run off and was going to leave them alone.

@StokedWifey: I saw that about your aunt on FB last night. She sounds like a horrible person but I hope she's okay! Please update us if you hear anything.

They found her last night and she's fine.  I don't know any details.  It's all so sketchy.  She was dating a guy nobody knew about.  Just weird.

I'm making these tacos tonight. I'm very excited to try them out, but a bit worried I'll want to eat them all the time also.

My FIL was coming over last night, so during the day, I hid my ereader in Tumaini's room. At bedtime, I excused myself to go put her to bed, and once she was asleep, I curled up in the rocking chair of her bedroom, and read two chapters of my book. When I finally came back to join my H and FIL, I made a fuss about her not wanting to fall asleep.

@barefoot84 you're a genius.

I can't remember the last time I was on time for work.... The trend continues today.

I have another one. I haven't really had much of the longing for my "old life" as I know some other moms have. I guess I was boring....but fucking A, I am getting really annoyed with not being able to eat anything in peace without having to hear "Bite? Biiiiite????!!" and share. It's even more irritating when it is shortly after she has been super picky and refusing a ton of food at the previous meal.

THIS.

I feel like I have to eat in secret these days.

My boss had a meeting with me this morning to "light a fire under my ass" because we're doing a lot of restructuring 2014 and my position will basically be gone. All he did was (re)-light a fire under my ass to find another job and get the hell out of banking! So I guess the confession is that I'm job hunting while at work

Your boss is an ashhhhhole. Nobody would work harder knowing their job is going to be eliminated. Eff that.

StokedWifey

Well, based off of your confessions, I have another.  I purposely put stuff on my plate that Bryson doesn't like and give him that when he asks for a bite.  It always makes him move on to my husband.

I had to google the "chevron" pattern yesterday.  All I kept thinking was the gas station and wondered why in the world anyone would decorate using that symbol.  So so so need to get around adults and wake up to lyfe....

After the sippy cup swapping talk the other day I guess this is confession worthy... I'm watching my bestie's 10mo old right now and Emily is going to town on his sippy. If they hadn't already been mouthing all the toys they've played with I might stop her, but if either of them's getting sick from the other the damage has already been done, so I'm letting her have it. The girl could us a little more water intake anyway.

Also, we've been listening to Christmas music all week this week, and have read a few Christmas books too. I've always been a "No Christmas Before Thanksgiving" person, and mostly still am, but Benjamin has been asking a bunch of questions about the holiday and by golly if my four year old wants to learn about something, we're gonna get into it!

I am the same way with the two girls from LOs DC.  When we do play dates I try to take away the cups but I am not always successful. I figure it is no big deal because they suck on the same toys at DC.

I spent much of my morning thinking about or working on the list of things I want for Christmas.  I've been working on it for a month already.  )

I do this too! Hayden has started this thing where he will only eat what I'm eating. I can get the kid to eat anything now: spinach, chicken, beef, carrots... He ate half of my burger the other day. Onions, lettuce, tomatoes and all.

If I give him his own plate, he'll only eat peas.

This is the most tame FC I think we've ever had. @-) Quick, someone say something scandalous since I have no confessions today. Oh wait, mine is still lame. I'm working on the stuff MH and I will need to buy a house today instead of working like I should since I'm only working three days this week.

Going off Meows post. I have no idea how Im supposed to love two.. the same! Im also way more worried about miscarrying. Every cramp, odd feeling or whatever.. freaks me out.

@mandie727 - I felt that way at first. When I saw little peanut yesterday, I fell in love! It will come, I promise!

Boing214

I finally thought of another one, depending on who they get to play Christian Gray I will see the 50 Shades of Gray movie. The book was horrible and I hope this will be a case where the movie is better than the book. ">

Boing214

Oh, and I'm hoping that this buying a house thing really gets on a roll so I can justify us not being able to afford to go and see my ILs for Thanksgiving. I love them, but taking LO on a 12 hour road trip again would just be miserable. And they're so weird with how they do holidays.

Barefoot84

I was just drinking wine straight out of the bottle because it was taking up too much space on my counter top. The only reason I didn't finish the half-bottle left was the toddler tugging on my pants, wanting to try mother's grape juice.

It also reminded me that one of the reasons I dislike family suppers at my in-laws is because there's never any wine. A family supper without wine is unheard of in my family.

They already chose him! i forgot his name and now can't find the article. But he was kind of a no name guy but was pretty hot so that's what matters in this case

Ooh, it's the sheriff from Once Upon a Time! He is hot and I think he can pull off brooding, I'm good with watching it now. Although I still think they should have gone for Alexander Skaarsgard.
