Confessions of a Stay at Home Mother ~ Part 2


I color code the clothes in my closet. (say that 10 times fast)

I often shower in complete darkness.

I'm insanely curious about what gasoline tastes like.

I find it more exhausting to spend the day in my pj's doing nothing, than to spend it out getting things accomplished.

I sometimes feel guilty that I don't allow TV in my home because I know it will make things hard on my children socially.

I'm terrible about making my kids floss. I only do it myself like once a season.

I think about sex every bit as often as a "typical guy."

I can no longer stand to buy cheap clothes. Not even for the quick trends. MUST. HAVE. QUALITY.

If I let my hair air dry, I look exactly like Hermione Granger circa The Sorcerer's Stone.

I recently sentenced my entire family to horrible sunburns when I spent a day on the lake mistaking my Continuous Spray Aloe Vera for my Continuous Spray Sunblock.

I do not own more dishes than will fit in the dishwasher together. I refuse to buy more. This is my only motivation to wash them every single day.

I have not been to any kind of doctor for any reason in over 4 years.

It is literally impossible for me buckle Squeaks into his car seat without kissing his face.


What are your confessions?

- I think about sex as much as you. Although the quality of my fantasies has improved with age, like most sex.

- I would get my hair cut every week if I could afford it.

- I totally love all things electronic, but I watch less TV than anyone in the house, talk on the cell phone the least and use the computer the least in the house.

- I would love to shoot boudoir photography, but I have never been asked and I'm not sure I'll ever find clients who will.

- I keep clothes for geological periods of time. I still have shirts that are from 1992 and they still fit and they still are in style and look good.

- I need more alone time than the average person, that's why I'm glad I have it in my job.

In complete darkness??? Pretty funny with the Aloe Vera.

You should try my flossing implements. Then you would like flossing.

Gasoline! Really?

Sometimes I can't resist buying a box os swiss rolls and eating nearly the whole box -- Disgusting I know... maybe close to tasting gasoline.

Hmmmm, confessions...

I have a candy dish right next to the computer, but I'M the only one who gets to eat the candy! (also, because I use the computer a lot, I eat too much candy)

I hate matching socks. HATE it.

I absolutely adore little babies, I wish they didn't get big so fast.

And maybe a real "confession"?

I yell at my kids too much. :(

way to go Melinda- just put it out there. Maybe us yellers would be less yell-ee if we admitted it more often! Im getting tons better tho..I think it all started with a little thing I like to call "breathing"
(and lots of loud music..if they don't stop, I just turn the music up super loud. I feel so much better..hehe)
I loooove these confessions. I don't do doctors either and we don't have many dishes for the very same reason. I really should go to a doctor but I imagine I wont unless I get pregnant and we all know that's not happening any time soon..I'd have to give up the skinny body. Thats my first confession. I have become quite vain about having a smaller body again and I don't want to get pregnant for fear that it will take years again to look cute again!
I spend far too much time on things that I justify "need" to be done but don't REALLY need to be done so I can avoid what really needs to be done.
I don't think about sex at all but if its part of the gameplan, Im quite happy with it.
My hair looked bigger than Hermiones til I went to a hairstylist who is close and cheap and she texturized it so much that it feels like Ive lost a lot of my hair due to "female Patter baldness" I should've just driven to b.f.e so I could have Melain MeLove do my hair instead. sigh..

patterN, not Patter

Melain said...

BFE is never too far for a good haircut, Becca! You do need to come again some time. I'd love to see your face. And your cute little bod! ;)

You guys have some pretty rockin confessions! I love a good dose of fearless honesty. On rare occasion.

I'm not ready to confess yet......

Blazing Goddess said...

I'd think about sex as often as you if I had a moral outlet for it. Instead I watch Jane Austen movies over and over.

Air-drying is usually the best way to get my hair to NOT look like Hermione's.

I think the last time I flossed the dentist did it.

I refuse to buy quality clothes for this body. It hasn't earned it.

And I seldom even put my clothes in the closet. (Good thing they're cheap, huh?)

I'm more curious about rum than gasoline. And about as tempted to actually try it.

The Mom said...

I reread the "hot" parts of Twilight cause the way Stephanie writes a kiss is sooooo much better than any Danielle Steel novel. Sometimes imagination is better than actual words on a page....

I will use any excuse to not cook dinner on a Friday night or warm summer day.

I hate that I tell my son NO more often that I should. I challenge myself every day to get through the whole day without using that word....

EP said...

I love this!

I color code my closet, as well. I'm about to do some major spring cleaning and about half of what I have will be gone. Hmm. Someone needs a shopping trip soon.

I bake entirely too much. I secretly want to eat it ALL, even though I share with co-workers.

I daydream about projects I want to start every day, but I never begin them. Problem? Umm, yeah.

First of all... "I'm insanely curious about what gasoline tastes like." WHAT? I have a looney for a friend. haha j/k, but seriously.

Let's see... I've always wondered what it would be like to punch someone in the face and if I would be any good at it. haha

I think most women do think about sex as often as the "typical guy."

Stopping by to wish you a Happy Mother's Day lovely Melain.

Anth said...

Mmm I color code my closet too. It's extremely sensible.
