Give it to me.

I am so stressed about this new position that I am almost regretting even wanting it. UGH. Something new. Something unknown. What was I thinking??

Our waitress at Cracker Barrel today said "I seen" and it made me think of you, LL. I did pig out on breakfast food there and it was AMAZING. And my grandma bought lunch, which was super sweet and made it even better.

This isn't really a confession (more of a WTH) but a FB board discussion around circ turned into someone saying they thought female circumcision (and genital mutilation) was as bad as male circumcision. Confused

I work for a software company. As I was leaving today, two grown, middle aged white men in suits were out front talking. As I walked by, one called the other, "N***a" in just plain 'ol regular conversation, like that was an even remotely acceptable thing to do. What is wrong with people?!

i spent the entire holiday season fighting my obsession over holiday mint m&ms and was so depressed when the holiday versions were gone from the store that i bought a bag on amazon and ate the bag.

i put a few in the girls' pancakes the other night and eve yelled 'these pancakes taste like CHRISTMAS!!!' and i couldn't have been happier.

Yes That's right! Train 'em early!

I have missed some of my PNV recently. I just either felt too queasy or flat our forgot.

But that's not interesting. I confess that, as much as I like to say I'm non-judgmental, I judge my SIL and BIL's parenting choices. Examples include their choice to leave the kids (rowdy 2.5 and 4.5 year old boys) with her parents, and mil cannot keep up/run as fast as them. And the house is not childproof, and has two sets of stairs, and a pool outside. I feel like its only a matter of time... Or the fact that the 4.5 year old gets on my last nerve, because he is super bossy, demanding, and will tell you such charming things as, "I'm going to kick your butt!" or"I'll punch you in the throat!" and there is never any consequence or limits set on his behavior.

Sigh. I know this confession means I'm growing a baby boy who will be a hellion and I will be eating my words in a few years.

I don't understand why girls do the weird big kissy lips thing in pictures. I don't think it is cute or sexy. Actually it makes them look like idiot ducks and I automatically judge anyone that I see with duck face pictures on FB as idiots.

I got to hold a smily giggly 6 month old this weekend and now there is an itty bitty teeeny weeny part of me that's considering sticking a pin through some condoms.

I think that people who have identical twins and dress them alike are just doing it for the attention. And it irritates me.

mcgee · January 2012

I think I let Alex watch "All My Children" with me too much before it went off the air because he's convinced that I'm Susan Lucci. Or rather, he's convinced that Susan Lucci is me. He saw a picture of her in a magazine recently and walked around with it for hours pointing to it and grinning and saying "Is Mama!" over and over again. I thought it was a fluke, so I pulled up photos of her on the internet today, and he immediately pointed and said "Is MAMA!"

On the one hand I'm flattered because I love me some Erica Kane, but on the other, 1) I really don't look all that much like Susan Lucci so I'm kind of questioning Alex's powers of observation, and 2) She's old enough to be my mother. Granted, she's gorgeous and doesn't look her age, but I really hope this isn't my son's way of telling me that I need to invest in some eye cream or something.

I may have fed my children chick-fil-a today.twice. Judge away.

A&Jmom · January 2012

Abby has Kinder awards tomorrow morning. The letter we got said all kids will receive at least 1 award. So, I'm thinking it is like a participation award, which I think is lame. Sorry, but I think only the kids that did something (other than show up) to get the award should get them. Like getting a trophy ever season she has played soccer, ugh!

michelleaxo · January 2012

I hate myself as a mother sometimes. I am always saying Gracie, don't do this, dont do that. Eat this, not that. Do it this way, not that way. Blah blah blah. It gets so freaking old. Sometimes I just want to pull the stick out of my own a$$ and just be more relaxed and forgiving as a parent. But what would everyone think of me then? What would people say? I'm fighting an impossible battle to be the perfect mother/wife with a perfect child and that whole thing is just exhausting. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself when I look in the mirror. When did I become such a shrew?

fjaril · January 2012

I totally stopped at In-n-Out for some fries today.

I ate them while driving and sucked both spread and ketchup from the packet then shoved some fries in. It's tidier that way.

LOL! That made me laugh. Thank you.

This is one of the many reasons I love you. You're so practical.

My kid is in bed at 6:30pm. AND she just cried herself to sleep. I feel like it's because I'm a neglectful, lazy mother. I picked her up at 3 and she was grumpy. She took a 20 minute nap in the car, and then I drug her shopping. Since we got home, nothing has pleased her. Not even a bath. So after the bath, we did bedtime routine and got in bed. She usually goes right to sleep, but tonight she cried for almost 10 minutes. What I'd normally tell people is that it's because she didn't get a real second nap and that she's only this grumpy when she's tired (probably, hopefully the case tonight). What I feel is like I'm too tired to truly entertain my child and if I were a better mother, I'd have found a way to make her happy instead of putting her to bed at 6:30. I HATE WORKING. Crying

I was in NYC last week and ate breakfast at a diner facing the window. A woman walked by pushing her twins in a double stroller. They were dressed identically down to the plaid berets cocked at the exact same angle on their identical heads... AND they were each holding a giant carrot in their right hands the same way. It was the creepiest thing I've ever seen in real life.

I have an (adult) friend who does this and it drives me nuts.

Awards already? I'd expect those in May, not in January when the year is only half over!

I wasn't too happy with Elena's kinder awards last year either since everyone got one. But especially frustrating for me was that they were all in Spanish so I had no idea what awards the teacher had made up for the kids in her class. (and I was DYING to know especially for a few of the "bad" kids.)

I totally judge people based on the things they register for. Angel

they do them after each semester- so one mid year and one end of year.

I don't like any siblings dressed identically. Coordinating = awesome, the exact same outfit? Makes me want to poke my eyes out. No one needs to match exactly.

Totally agree. I have a friend that does it for all major events. Drives me bonkers.
