I put baby powder in my hair this morning because I was too damn tired to have a shower.
When my kids asked why we had to leave the park. I had no good excuse. I used "Because I said so." I swore I would never do that.
When the Hubby was away golfing and the kids were tucked all snug in their beds, I snuck more then my share of the freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. WAY more.
I had to give myself a courtesy flush. P U!! That will teach me to eat so many oatmeal cookies!

When I saw the Jehovah Witness crew knocking on the door..... I hid.
We fed the kids Kraft Dinner for supper, put them to bed, then feasted on Lobster. Just because.
It took me three days to return a phone call from my 90 year old Grandma.
I had to throw away 4 chicken breasts and a package of ground turkey because I just didn't get to it in time.
I tried to talk my daughter out of Girl Guides because there are three girls in that group that have been so mean to her. The world doesn't need any more pre-teen drama.
I honked at an old man I saw tagging a bridge...upon closer inspection, it turns out he was cleaning up the graffiti.
Please tell me I'm not the only one!

That was great! That is all stuff I would do to! I'll have to copy your idea and try it sometime!
I must remember the baby powder in the hair tip.
I've stopped running when I see Jehovah Witnesses knocking at my door, instead I tell them about my job, half way through they usually make up an excuse to leave. Not very God like if you ask me!
I hide from doorbell ringers too! :)
"courtesy flush"... hehe, i love it! and no you are so NOT the only one!!
OMG that last one had me in stitches, girl!
You're so damn creative, reading you is a breath of fresh air every time.
Not your bathroom air though...
*grin*
ps: nothing wrong with KD, my mom used to cut up hot dogs in it for us when we were kids - it was crack for children, LOL!
Loved this post! I can SO relate!
RE: baby powder -- that is a cheaper and better alternative than buying the dry shampoo!
I hate to admit it but more than half of these I have done too....so nope you are not the only one!
Too funny, and NO you are not the only one. I have done all of the above...well except for the honking at the old man. Hey, I won't tell if you don't tell.
Ha! I tossed two chicken breasts out yesterday because I hadn't gotten to them and they kept taunting me every time I opened the fridge. My husband asked if we should used them, but I told him I didn't think it was a good idea unless his last will and testament was up to date. Also, I'm a bit hopped up on sugar because I just downed a bunch of ice cream fast before my kids got home from school.
My husband tells the Jehovah Witnesses - you'd better leave before my wife gets home; she's a rabid Catholic and will try to convert you. He's also told a contractor that I was mad (as in crazy) and he'd better finish the project on time or he'd give me the contractor's number . . .
This was so funny... Thank for the laugh. I got honked at the other day while walking my dog. I jumped so high he just wanted to say hi because he has a dog like mine.
I hide too! The rest I would say your are not alone - but that would give away far too much!!
Too funny! Was talking about baby powder recently!
You are too funny and of course YOU are NOT the only one. :)
You had me laughing!
I always hide when I see people I don't know knocking at my door :) And yep, throwing away chicken or beef because of my simple neglect is not uncommon around here!
You have an award waiting for you at my blog http://ellabellamozzarella.blogspot.com/
No, scoot over, Guilty!
I answer the Jehovahs with I'm Athiest...ba bye! And shut the door. LOL.
I always say, "Because I'm the meanest Mommy ever!" Sometimes I add, "Auntie Kris and I are having a contest. Do you think I'll win?"
This always brings smiles.

Funny!
Good baby powder trick!
The honking could have been in appreciation. We'll go with that because it makes us both feel better about days like this.
I could open a deli with all the meat I've thrown away over the years. All of that could happen to anybody. (It doesn't make you a bad person...no really, it doesn't.) :)
i take the meat out of freezer to cook it the next day. plans change and it sits there, tomorrow for sure. then we go out to dinner and on and on and the meat never gets cooked.
but i have to toss it out when my hubby's not looking. he hates it when i waste food and money
Great post! I have to steal this idea some time. Mmmm... Oatmeal cookies. Lol
Cute post..... You are definitely not the only one!!!!! I'm MUCH older (been there, done that)---but I relate to some of those!!!
Thanks for coming to my blog. I'm very impressed with yours.
Hugs,
Betsy
Ahhh, you are SO not the only one. Take heart. :)
It seems like I am always throwing out expired food items from my fridge and cupboards and this was to be my "living more frugally" year, too!
I wish I could do the baby powder trick but my hair is too dark. I'd just look like an idiot.
Thanks for stopping by over at my place and thanks for the sweet comment. :)
I'm embarrassed to admit that I just sat and read your entire archives. I will definitely be back. You are a hoot!
I've never tried the baby powder thing... thanks for the tip!!! That wasn't a confession, that was pure helpfulness :)
Nope, not the only one! I hate wasting food more than anything, but I probably throw away hundreds of dollars every year on meat that I just don't feel like cooking by dinnertime.
And MY kids would PREFER the Kraft Dinner!
"We fed the kids Kraft Dinner for supper, put them to bed, then feasted on Lobster. Just because." LOL These were great!!!
Well, all these things make me like you just that much more. :)
I hide from the door ringers all the time. When the kids want to go somewhere like the park and I don't want to go, I tell them it is closed. They are only 2 and 4 years old. I suppose that is not going to work much longer.
heh heh I hide from Jehovah Witness people all the time. I've even gone so far to say I wasn't a believer just for them to leave me alone. (that made it worse) Now I get 10 at a time.
Mmmmm, lobster and oatmeal cookies - sounds like I need to make a trip to your house after all the kids are in bed!
LOL. I use the excuse because I said so all the time. I love yur blog title, I just moved out to Suburbia from the city. What a trip, I get "hi neighbor" when ever I pull into my driveway. I see people riding horses through the starbucks drive through. WHAT?? I live in a trac home too, so it's weird to walk into your neighbors house and it's the same floor plan as yours.
Um baby powder in the hair, hmmmm. I'll have to remember that one!!
I throw out more food due to my laziness. I keep thinking I'll learn at some point to freeze the dang meat, but nope. Still haven't.
i am way behind on my comments and just saw yours that i got an award so THANKS and i loved the last one, honking at the old man - don't worry you probably only scared him bad enough for the clogged artery in his brain to finally burst
Heck, if you are having lobster, I'm putting the kids to bed and having dinner at your house.
I've always heard the baby powder thing, but my hair is so oily I just think it would be a sticky mess!
LOL love it!!!!!
I hid from someone knocking on my door the other day. He didn't look like my neighbors so no need to answer the door. Problem was I had to leave to go to an appt!!!
You are so not the only one and this awesome post makes me want to be your BFF! :)
Oh that honk could have totally been a "Great job" toot! speaking of toots, watch that oatmeal, next thing you know you'll be lactating
lobster...mmmmm. And certainly NOT for kiddos.
I love your confessions, this was great, and BTW I know what you mean about pre-teen drama.
All are totally excusable! I often do the baby powder thing and was once asked by a playdate what was all over my neck. Super cool.
don't feel bad... i do this whenever anyone who isn't expected knocks at my door. :)
I'm reading this with a huge bag of crisps on my lap; my diet starts tomorrow. The Jehovah Witnesses are invited into my house whereby I get my husband to ask them questions they cannot answer and they leave in disgust. We are always polite, just annoying. :O)
I think that I have done about everything on your list. But, I offer my kids the lobster. They just never want our fancy food.
I definitely hide from all solicitors. I do not have to answer the door or phone just because they called or knocked!!!
You are so not the only one! I don't call my Grandma as much I need to. I would so hide if they came to my door, they would have to find us first. I love the lobster one - so funny.
Oh you're not the only one! It took me two days to return a phone call from my sister.
Have a great day!
Wait...baby powder? Please enlighten me on this secret!
MY BABY POWDER SECRET!
Hee hee. I thought everyone knew this one:
Here it is!
Works best for blonds or lighter colour hair. If you don't have time to wash your hair but it looks a wee bit ummm dirty. You can shake a little bit of baby powder into the roots of your hair and then brush it through. Makes it look all clean and fresh. (just like dry shampoo only much much cheaper)
funny - I always give my kids silly answers to their queries B/c I feel like it
I'm tempted to steal this idea from you and do my own weekly confessions.... Might clense my guilty soul or something.
That or totally shame me.
These are great! You are hysterical and i think we share quite a few faults!!
love the kids get kraft you get lobster night! Might have to bring that round here in my home!
I may never get any sleep tonight because I just discovered your blog and I adore you! Where have you been all my life?
YES to all the above!!!
