This post is brought to you by a two-hour delay from school for “wintery conditions” and Nora’s utter lack of care for my desire to sleep in (with special thanks to Heather for not giving up on me and continuing to remind me about Confessions every month even though I’m a huge slacker these days).
So, how ’bout it?
March 2017 Confessions:
– We are “currently” having our floors re-done at our house (much-needed) and living with my in-laws. I say “currently” because the floors have actually been done for over a week now, but we are totally milking the clean-up and taking our sweet time moving back home. What can I say? At my in-laws we have meals! and laundry! and CHILDCARE! #wemayneverleave #outstayingourwelcome
– Yesterday, Sam woke up with a random black eye. Seriously, I don’t know what happened during the night, but he woke up looking rough. To make it even better, if you asked him what happened, he said that *I* hit him in the face *with my PHONE.* Awesome. I may or may not have actually done this; but, if I had, it was at least three nights ago (BY ACCIDENT) and clearly NOT responsible for the black eye. Oy vey!
– We visited Luray Caverns this past weekend DURING NAPTIME. I made the mistake of thinking Nora would nap in her stroller while we toured (it was dark and cool and perfect for napping – of course, I think all environments are perfect for napping, but that’s neither here nor there). Anyway, she definitely did NOT nap and, instead, I was the mom with the screaming toddler IN A CAVE (i.e. an echo chamber) for the one hour tour.
– I have a crush on George W. Bush.
– Nora calls my father-in-law by his first name and goes around saying “oh my gosh” all the time.
– I have no interest in getting rid of Nora’s pacifier when she turns two later this month (like I did with Sam). In fact, I’m seriously considering getting her a new Wubbanub as a birthday gift.
Well, that should do it. Got any confessions for me?!? I’d love to hear them! Also, don’t forget to check out Heather’s post here.
Have a great day and don’t forget to laugh at yourself!

1. I SCREAMED and YELLED at DeWayne this morning when he kindly told me that yall had a delay and we didn’t.. I threw a royal fit, and FULL OUT DEMANDED that he unloaded the dishwasher right then and there.. at 6am.. to the point that I stomped down to the kitchen and slammed a pottery barn bowl into the sink to “prove” that it needed to be done.. umm..
2. I actually may have given Sam the black eye when yall were at my house and he was “in my way” while I was shoveling Chinese food onto my plate and my elbow got out of control (oops.. get out the way!)
3. I had a passy until I was 5… you did not. Need I remind you who had braces? Me.
4. I printed off a 176 page (!!!!!!) document yesterday that I could have downloaded and saved (for free) because I found a beautiful new binder that I needed something to use it for.
5. I ate 8 oranges at work yesterday… #stillallergic
6. I scrubbed by ankles UNTIL THEY BLED with a pumice stone to get self tanner off of them the other day (after you commented on them.. rude)… word to the wise, don’t use “banana boat summer color…” there is NOTHING “summer” about the color that was happening on my feet.
I think that’s it..
I always thought we were a lot alike but the whole George W Bush crush sealed the deal! He’s the cutest!
REMEMBER WHEN THAT GIRL WOKE UP WITH A RANDOM BLACK EYE ON THE BACHELOR!??!?!? It totally happens 🙂
Also, Mary Virginia calls us Amanda and Tom and walks around saying “totally”
Kid 1: Paci taken away during the day right at 12 months, during nap time and bed time exactly at 2 years (and her 3-hour naps ended right then and there)
Kid 2: paci still taken away during the day right at 12 months, during nap and bed time. . .maybe never, like, really, maybe never
All the heart eyes for George H. and George W.
Hahah this made me laugh so hard! You are not a slacker! You happen to be great at not fussing about things not worth fussing over- like a silly blog post or moving back into your house any time soon So loved this post!
Ah bummer my laughing face didn’t show up- communicating without emoticons is so much harder than it should be (additional confession for my post)
Haha the paci deal. We took away the day time paci when he was a year old, but we are still allowing the sleeping paci and he will be three this summer. Whoops…Sometimes you have to let them win right?
Also my son’s name is George W. (Our last name is a W name.) My husband wanted to give him all the Bush’s middle names too, but I had to draw the line somewhere. But it makes me chuckle every time we see his name written out George W.
