Confessions for the Mommy Files

• I sometimes let my girls eat cold cereal for supper when I don't feel like cooking, or don't have anything in the house to cook.
• I have been known to watch kid movies without them home, like Shrek.
• After saying that, I just sang the entire Shrek Karaoke party (end of movie 1) to my girls. And I knew every word.
• We tend to follow the 3-second rule in our house when it comes to food and the floors.
• My room is usually semi-messy, but I expect my girls to keep their rooms decently clean.
• I am one of those moms that just licks off the baby's nuk when it's dropped on the ground or the floor before giving it back.
• I often tell my kids that toys I don't like are broken, even if we've just taken out the batteries.
• I will not allow my girls to watch Yo Gabba Gabba, Boh-Bahs or Teletubbies because they are very creepy shows. I also don't let them watch Maisy because it drives me insane. My kids love all 4 shows.
• I have "not smelled" a really stinky diaper right before handing the baby off to Andy, then fained innocence when he asked if I knew.
• I don't vacuum my floors as often as I should, many times finding huge hairs in Mikayla's hands (between me and the 2 older girls, we have a LOT of hair. Andy & Mikayla, not so much...)
• I often tell my girls when they get owwies that I should just cut off their injured leg/arm/ear.
• If they don't let me clean those owwies, I tell them that said leg/arm/ear might fall off.
• I have used "bribery" and it has worked quite successfully, though I don't make a habit out of it.
• I am a very sarcastic person and I don't hide that from my children.

Well, I feel much better now. Whoever said confession is good for your soul was soooo right. Now, I'm going to go beat my children....just kidding. Gee, take a peak at my last bullet point. I'm not going to actually beat them, just knock their heads together a little bit. That's good for the soul, too. ;-)
