Confessions

Since I have started doing our blog, I find myself going and reading other blogs. Some are friends, family and most are people that I don't even know. The one thing that makes me smile is when I come across blogs that make these people sound like they are living this perfect little life. I'll be the first to admit, we do REAL life here. We have good days and we have our bad days. We have days when I feel like all I do is yell and get kids in trouble and we have days where we laugh and play all day. We have days when we stay in pajamas all day. We have days when kids take naps in my arms. We have days when we are up all night. I love my life, I love my kids and I love my husband and I would not trade them for the world.

Here are some of my confessions to prove this real life stuff is what we are all about. (I think any mom would agree you have confessions too. I maybe the only one stupid enough to share a few with you.)

-sometimes I like to watch my kids get really mad when they play or wrestle with each other. I like to see different sides of their personality shine through.

-when we go out to dinner, I sometimes order food that I know the kids don't like or won't eat so I don't have to share.

-I get up early so I can drink my morning tea in quiet before our day starts.

-I wish my kids would get up at the same time so I can fix everybody's breakfast at the same time instead of the three rounds we currently do.

-Josh & I often play Words with Friends and when he plays a word that is worth 50+ points I often accuse him of cheating (because he has in the past) then I fill my competitive juices start to flow and I get mad because I didn't think of the word first.

-sometimes for dinner we have cereal because I'm too tired to cook.

-some days I feel like I'm really strict on my kids (discipline wise).

-on the days when I want to get things done I find that I have less patience for my children.

-I don't share my Starbucks!
