I confess I hate Ikea. Not only do I not like their stuff but I hate their shopping carts. They go frontways and backways, leftways and rightways, this way and that... they are crazy hard to control!
I confess I don't have any interest in Pinterest. All the pictures are overwhelming and I don't see the point in looking at a bunch of crafts I'll never do, clothes I'll never buy, recipes I'll never try... you get the point.
I confess I was scared about having a second child. I was worried that I would love one more than the other....
I confess I realize now how silly that was. There is plenty of love to go around. I'm amazed at how much I love both of my chlidren!
I confess I love saying I have two children. I had only one child for so long so it still sometimes feels weird but I love it!
I confess I always spell weird wrong and have to go back and fix it. I always think about the i before e rule and remember that it's weird that weird does not follow this rule. I confess I don't like grammar!
I confess I miss the slow paced life we lived in Wyoming.
I confess I miss the endless blue skies.
I confess I miss the rocky mountains
and everything about Wyoming so much it aches.
I confess this is not how I imagined my life when I was younger. I confess it is so much more amazing than I ever could have hoped for.
I confess I am happy to be back at work. I didn't think I would be... I cried everyday the first week back.
I confess that having the baby in a daycare downstairs and getting to see him two - three times during the work day is probably why I am ok with working.
I confess it is nice to work because it gives me a reason to take a shower and get dressed everyday. On maternity leave (and most weekends) it is so easy to just stay in my PJs for days.
I confess my baby is 3 1/2 months old and I still wear some of my maternity clothes. The pants dont fit anymore but I am still wearing a lot of the tops.
I confess evenings and weekends I live in my husband's t-shirts!
I confess I've lost 17 pounds, in addition to the initial loss after birth and I still have 30 more pound I'd like to lose. I confess this is because I was 30 pounds heavier than I should have been at the beginning of my pregnancy!
I confess I'm in no rush to get there. I'm taking it one day and one pound at a time... while enjoying my weekly pizza.
I confess it is hard sometimes... especially when nursing makes me ravenous most of the time!
I confess my idea of the perfect date is getting a babysitter for the day, driving down the Philly to see the Flyers play. We have tickets for the 31st and I can't wait!
I confess it is hard everytime I leave the kids and I always feel guilty and don't want to go... but I always end up having a great time. This time I am excited about going and not feeling guilty about it. I need to be an adult and wife sometimes too and not just mommy!
I confess I miss painting. I have a lot of things I want to paint but I'm so tired by the end of the day I don't make the time. I need to make the time because painting makes me feel good.
I confess.... this Friday confessional is so much fun! I should do it every Friday. You should too...
wow you have a lot to confess. Thak you for stopping by my bolg and I confess I loved being nosey and reading some of your ealier post. I confess I am now a follower and I confess I will be stalking you daily.
ReplyDeleteI confess that I was also scared about having a second child. I confess that I too still wear some of my maternity clothes and my daughter is 5 months old *smh*. I love that you get to see your baby while you work. That is pretty cool.

it is fun to know more about fellow bloggers! i think we all share a lot of those same confessions!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
Great post! I know how you feel with the nursing hunger. By the way, really beautiful pictures. I've never even been to Wyoming and I feel like I miss it lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the post! I miss you too and wish we lived closer. I just hope our next duty station is on the East Coast. Oh yeah, you say you hate Ikea carts, all shopping carts in ALL of Japan are like that. They go front, back, and side to side, they just glide everywhere and are out of control. But there are so many people you have to navigate around you get use to it. Carts here are really really tiny though. I confess most of my confessions would be just like yours!
