Confessions of a Stay at Home Mother ~ Part 1


1. I fantasize about verbally abusing the guy responsible for the shelves of candy and gum right by the cashier at the grocery store.

2. I LOVE Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (if it's made right)

3. I often miss the structure of being an employee. I have to force myself to stay busy when I'm home or I will just EAT ALL DAY.

4. When I'm walking with my child's hand in mine, I am often so distracted by how much I love the feel of his soft tiny fingers, that I'm all but completely unaware of what's going on around me. So if I ever come off as snobby, don't take it personally.

5. One time, in the era of potty training, I washed an entire load of laundry with a big turd hidden in little pants, essentially douching all the clothes in toilet water.

6. I often wish it would not be considered psycho to line my entire house with Saran wrap each morning, Dexter Style. Then I could take it off at night and enjoy a few hours of pristine clean.

7. Sometimes I have sex dreams about Disney characters.

8. I like to complain about it, but seeing all the little toys scattered across the living room floor makes me smile.

9. I'm so used to having an audience in the bathroom that I have to remind myself to close the stall door when I'm in public.

10. The best part of my day is picking up Squeaks from preschool. I get the kind of high energy, over-excited reception that would give Obama a REAL run for his money! He sure knows how to make a Mom feel loved.


What are YOUR confessions?

Dude, yours are do awesome I'm not sure mine compare.

1. I love the smell of my daughter. I love smelling her on my clothes or the things she has worn.

2. I like hearing secrets from people, and I like keeping them. It just seems right not to tell other's secrets.

3. I want a day where I can have turrets and narcolepsy so I can say what I want and sleep when I want.

4. One of these days when people ask me if I was in the military I'm going to say, "Yes," and make up some story about Desert Storm and saving a small village or something. But only once.

5. I want to go back and re-do a couple of relationships I had just to see how they would have turned out for nothing more than curiosity sake.

That's enough for now. I got side tracked on my "men and romance" post, but I'm good to my word and I'll finish it. I have two parts left and they contain your answers.

Disney characters huh? Like Goofy and Donald or like Prince Phillip and Prince Charming?

If you say Snow White you are my BFF.

O.K. Number seven falls into the "TMI" category :) By the way, I notice you haven't been to my blog lately. I wrote a brilliant article about Facebook. You must go see.

Mike said...

"Sometimes I have sex dreams about Disney characters." Okay that's a cry for help. Put the Elmo down and come out of the house. We need to get you some play dates with some adults for a few hours.

Jill said...

Love this post. Can't believe you admitted to number 7 but that's what makes your blog so good the honesty. I can relate to all except loving mac and cheese but if you add hot dogs I must admit it's a winner!!

Melain said...

Goofy? ELMO?! Seriously people. There are some hottie hot men in Disney movies. I don't often dream in animation, but sometimes it's a refreshing change; like a backwards Enchanted with an R-rating.

debi said...

I love to sneak a nap at odd hours. Watch a movie in the middle of the day. Take long baths. Eat cerel for lunch. Play dolls and flower fairies, etc. I love it all.

fluentbrittish said...

My confession: When I iron, I look exactly like the lady in the picture you posted.

Ok, I lie. I don't think I even have an iron...

Rebecca's Portraits and Murals said...

Im not lying..I totally look like her. Oh wait..I dont iron.

Loved reading your list - so true about the saran wrap! I think a confession Im willing to share would be that I ...can't think of anything right now.

terri said...

Even though my kids are 15, 17 & 19... I still love to peek in on them when they're sleeping and nuzzle their necks and kiss their sweet cheeks.

terri said...

Ok and I probably ate an entire box of frozen place and bake chocolate chip cookies all by myself. Not all at one time, of course, but I'm pretty sure I ate them all... like 36 of them.

EP said...

I'm no housewife, but I sometimes dream of days where I can complete things on your list. *shrugs* And bake a whole hell of a lot. Just for fun. (Yeah, not a good idea EVER.)

Thanks for this! These all made me smile!

Knot said...

"Men don't need or desire romance on any level. " Not totally true, but accurate. I'm not done with the series, as a matter of fact that statement will seem almost ironic in a few posts.

Shannon said...

Awesome post Melain. My fav....the child's fingers in my hand. I love it so much I will hold one of my kids hands while watching tv together. I can't get over how sweet they are.

beth♥ said...

HA! #7 ... Disney characters. So, um, yeah - Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. Yep. He's hot.

amy germer said...

I have been known to clean the bathroom in the nude!

Blazing Goddess said...

Thanks to the miracle (or curse, more realistically) of YouTube, my children are now as familiar with a couple of the characters on General Hospital as they are with some family members.

They also have no idea what I'm talking about when I refer to the dining room table.

Rebecca said...

I have read over a bunch of posts and I'm in love with your blog. You write so refreshingly!

It's nice to meet you!

Jenny said...

You don't know me, but you rock. I totally get the saran wrap. I would love that invention.
I've had a sex dream or two about Jack Sparrow / Will Turner. They count as Disney characters, right? That, or I secretly have a thing for dirty, handsome pirates.

Heather of the EO said...

I'm pretty sure you were referring to Disney character of the muscular variety (with perfect hair). NOT the fuzzy big-nosed variety. C'mon people :)

LOVE the list.

I too love the holding hands one. And the reception at preschool. Nothing better!

Kelli said...

Hello there=] I know we don't know each other, but we met when you sang a solo in 6th ward (red-head). Anyways, thanks for a wonderful blog that keeps me thoroughly entertained. It is always nice to see other people with random sayings, so I don't feel like I am close to being put in the loony bin. This one was very funny. I don't have any kids, and the poop in the laundry may have inadvertently been the cause for my future tube-tying, but the other cute kid stuff has canceled out that desire! It actually makes me want one, even if I have a poop situation, which I know I will! (woa! I have totally just evolved as a person)Thank goodness! Here is my blog if you ever want to check it out http://tkcastleton.blogspot.com/ or you can link to it off of Julie's blog. It is under Kelli C

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
