Ten Confessions of Motherhood

Ten Confessions of Motherhood
Rules: You have to confess things you have done as a mother to your children or something they have witnessed you do. Think of things that are down-right funny, possibly mean, sweet, accidentally emotionally damaging, or that your child is better off never knowing you did! (thanks for the idea Jules and Weez)

1. I steal my kids Halloween candy when they are at school!

2. I put Neosporin on my kids’ “ouchies” when they are sleeping so I don’t have to fight them doing it when they are awake. This works well because their cuts heal faster and there is no infection.

3. I buy candy bars and put them on my kids pillows with little notes that say “I love you”

4. My kid says,” I wish you would go away.” I say “I will; now you get to make dinner, because I am leaving.” Sorry, their faces usually look so shocked that they apologize!

5. Cody: “Mom you are a mean.” “NO I am a wicked witch, so get over it.”

6. My kids are acting up and I say, “Stop that or I am going to sell you to the witches…” This has become joke in our house…. Rhett usually responds with “NO sell me to the Gingy bread man” aka the Gingerbread man! Totally funny!

7. I clean out my kids closets when they aren’t home or are sleeping, so I can throw away their broken toys or donate old toys!

8. I take pictures of my kids when they fall asleep…. I still even do it to the 12 and 13 year old! Capture at least one sweet moment in the day! LOL

9. I video tape my older kids when they throw fits without their knowledge for pay back someday!

10. I secretly laugh and think “I told you not to do that” when my kids get hurt doing something ridiculous or what I just told them not to do… but I always kiss the boo-boo better and bandage them up! (Like today in church Rhett leans forward in his chair in Primary and falls off… I picked him up but, the other teacher and I were laughing so hard! I had just finished telling him not to do that and he did it again.”
