Well… my momma was a church organist/pianist at the age of 16. She has told me my entire life, “I was always so glad when I screwed up, because then I didn’t have to worry whether I would anymore.” Messing up? Girl, that’s part of the bargain of breathing. We’re all here to show grace to each other. You’re awesome.

…Keep on keepin’ on.

I eat carbs all day long to the point that my stomach becomes so bloated I have to walk around the house with my pants unbuttoned from the bulbousness.

My son was in a birth-to-three program through the county and he is aging out. His case manager asked the litany of questions that they are required to ask and when she got to the one about my son undressing himself I said, “Actually, I haven’t taught him that one yet because I don’t want him to take off his diapers and smear poop on the walls.”

Lucky for me she totally got my logic and there wasn’t any judging. We’ll work on taking off clothes when we potty train.

I just sneezed and forgot to clench, enough said.

I can’t walk into a costco without buying more than will fit in my pantry. Thus I have pantry overflow against one whole wall in my livingroom.

When I’m stressed and exhausted I tend to take it out on my husband.

I ate a huge brownie covered in cheesecake for breakfast. *hangs head in shame*

There are so many piles of clothes on my bedroom floor that I step ON the clothes when I walk. Sometimes I kick them away.
I didn’t shower today. I’m at work like I showered today. Did I shower yesterday? I can’t remember.
I stopped drinking. And then started again.
I consider stealing something every time I’m in Target. Every time. Small undetectable stuff. You know, like an e-reader case. WHAT?
My daughter called another girl a loser and said she had yellow teeth via text. She’s 10.
I keep saying I’m going to stop drinking Pepsi and then I buy a Pepsi. I just bought a Pepsi. And I’ma drink it. But tomorrow I’ll stop. Except I won’t.
I fart. A lot. While doing everything: sitting, running, standing. And I will fart anywhere. No place is safe. And I’ll look at you like you stinky asshole, why’d you just fart in public like that?
Asparagus pee smell fascinates rather than disgusts me.
My husband is probably going to divorceme if I don’t hump him soon. Soon.

I switched my sleep meds last night and today I feel hung over. I should care more about that, but hey I slept, so hopefully I’ll get used to it soon.

I’m addicted to some stupid fruit farm game on Facebook. It’s like candy crush, just with fruit.

I’ve watched three full seasons of Bones in ten days. Netflix is evil. BUT I CAN’T seem to quit it.

I’m seriously trying to figure out how to move to the mountains, even though I know I’ll have to leave two of my kids with their dad (for the school year, I’ll get holidays/summer) and only take my nine year old.

I simply love this! We might be sisters from another mister or however that saying goes. When I originally wrote that post it was sure that people where going to read it and it would only confirm their suspicions that I was a lunatic. The response has been so overwhelming and I’m so glad to hear that you connected with it.

I once SCREEMED at my then 8 year old son to “stop acting like a child!” at which point, through sobs and tears he said “I am a child.” Oh, the guilt.

And my children have had knock down, drag out fights over who would get my iphone if I died in the next few months.

Thanks for keeping it real and for encouraging others to do the same!

OMG! You’ve all made me laugh out loud at work! Probably shouldn’t be reading this now, but glad I did.

I forgot to pick up my daughter from track after school when she was in high school. Not once, twice. (School was in walking distance of my hubby’s job, so it wasn’t that big a deal, but the forgetting was.)
