I was secretly upset when a women I volunteer with proclaimed herself Co-Convener of a charity event I RUN. You are not co-convener when you pick up one job out of twenty. Petty me.
I fed my kids pizza for dinner on Saturday night and again on Tuesday.
I haven't returned my "Needy Girlfriends" phone call in three days. I just don't have the energy to deal right now.
I tanked our budget this month. I really tried to wear an old dress by sprucing it up with some contraband underwear . But, then I did some emotional shopping and went out and bought a brand new dress and some kick ass shoes to go with it!
I threw my shirt in the dryer for 5 minutes and called it ironed.
I wore the same pair of jeans three days in a row. It happens.
I really don't love my SweetGirls BFF. She is loud, and pushy and manipulative. Sigh.
I ate and ate........ and ate so many freakin Christmas cookies that now I have to do more baking before Thursday. Ahhh the joys of the Holiday Season!

I am baking too..
At least you bought yourself some happy. Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the season come thursday
Oh those are good ones.
Here's mine:
I let my kiddo watch an entire DVD of The Wiggles (he did really watch about 10 minutes of it, which is a lot for him).
I love your confessions. Pretty sure I could confess those same things (as well as some other good stuff!).
My mommy friends and I used to run a website called Suburb Moms (which is currently on hiatus), so from one suburban mom to another, love the blog!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and hope to see you around again! ;-)

Yeah, but did you eat the cookies for breakfast??? :-)
My confession is: I wrote an outwardly pleasant, secretly snarky Christmas card note filled with bragging to an old school chum who has always been very competitive with me. She started it!
We had pizza 2 times and Jack in the Box...that is so unlike me...I am DONE! It was sanity vs. "good" mom. Sanity won! And, isn't that what the dryer is for?
sorry to hear about ur bad week, but hey at least u went out and bought urself a dress and great shoes:) hope it cheered u up a bit! thanks again for ur comment on my blog:) don't u love how target is stepping it up??:D

Oh man I miss that dryer trick.
Glad you at those cookies, because I don't have any Christmas cookies, so now there is Christmas cookie balance again in the world. You saved Christmas!!
:) Merry Christmas!
I would give "Coconvener"..all the dirty work..that'll show her..isnt there one in every crowd..and I thought the dryer was my iron..mmm..??
If the dress and the jeans still fit afterwards, then make more cookies!
Secretia
Nothing wrong with eating lots of
Christmas cookies this time of year!
Happy Christmas!
I've eaten more sweets than any one woman should be allowed...and it's only Tuesday. I 99% have no energy to deal with my girlfriends petty problems. Selfish? Hmmm...And next time someone wants to "co-coordinate" something with you, I'd be sure to give her plenty to do ;) Haha!
Hey - pizza is healthy! It's got all the food groups! And the shoes - you deserve them (so says the girl who actually hears shoes calling her name on a regular basis)!
I've been overdoing the Christmas cookies too. Enjoy your holiday.
Ha Ha. You always say what the rest of us are thinking.
And when I don't like my girls friends..guess what? They don't get invited to our house. I am mean like that. I don't do loud or obnoxious kids...at all!!!
Happy Baking.
LOL!! I might be coerced into eating some cookies later on...oh the torture ;)
~WM
wait...that isn't how you iron?
Ew I would be upset at that woman too! I hate when people try to take credit for things that largely have nothing to do with them.
I am a jean repeater sometimes too. Don't feel bad. I keep telling myself that once I don't have to pay to run the laundry, I won't do it anymore.
I baked like a fiend Sunday and I don't bake. 5 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange (okay technically these were no bake) and 2 dozen egg nog cupcakes for dd's Girl Scout party.
Are you me? That list sounds awfully familiar. Except I have a one-year-old, so my repeated jeans were OBVIOUSLY repeated. And I still didn't care. So there, world!
I'm redoing the Christmas baking I ate today, too. Bah.
Wearing jeans 3 days in a row? I have SO got you beat at that game.
What you mean we're not suppose to use the dryer to "fluff" the clothes?
Step back and tell her step off girl this is my event!
Really they are jeans a few days in a row is ok, my motto if it doesn't have kid snot or handprints from kids or hubs then all good right? :)
And I'm sure you earned that new dress and shoes girlie!!!
Merry Christmas!
I brought a new dress too. I still need shoes. Sigh.
today marks my 3rd day in a row of wearing the same jeans. i'm too tired to care about my pants, besides, i sit at a desk so they're covered up anyway ;)
glad to know that i'm not the only one who "accidentally" does this!
You wore those jeans only THREE days...you have a way to go before you beat my record. :)
I love hearing all your confessions this time of year. Why is there so much stress?? I have made my chex mix and muddy buddies but no cookies baked as of today...because I know I would be rebaking too. Good luck!
oh honey!! i NEVER NEVER iron.... in fact.. what is an iron?... lol!!!
have a wonderful Christmas!!!!!
That is my way of ironing!
I do ironing that way too! I did the same thing with my jeans lately-lol!
I don't like my daughter's BFF either. It really is a *yuck* feeling.
the closer it gets to christmas you just start spending money and don't care anymore...until january!
so i am hoping your charity "helper" and friend and girls BFF's mother dont read your blog?!
Hey, thanks for stopping by my running blog!
I can SO relate to all of this..
You are hereby forgiven, and your penances is to join me for Friday Fragments some time (this post is right up the FF aisle!)
I've never heard of a convener, but I'm glad you're out there making a difference :)
Thanks for stopping by today :)
I'm baking tomorrow- December 23- for the same reason and I baked a freakin lot before girlfriend! YIKES!!!!!
Nothing wrong with ironing with the dryer! And yes, the cookies. I'm about to bake a new batch too. Argh.
Nothing wrong with feeding the kids pizza twice a week LOL. As long as they eat, I'm happy!
Oh my cheeks hurt! I know all those, especially the three days jeans...and MAN do they fit better, and I hate to iron. I bet you will look fab in your dress mama! *Whistle!
Hang in there! On the BFF, my DD had a friend like that. It's our neighbor's kid. I was so happy once when she was leaving in a huff and Phoebe was upset. Her so-called BFF yelled "I'm leaving!" and Phoebe yelled back, "I don't care!" I was secretly cheering inside for her. Phoebe goes out of her way not to play with her anymore. She has other friends in the neighborhood now. I hope something similar happens to your SweetGirl.
We'll be baking and baking and baking all night tonight . . .
Pizza for dinner twice in one week... I think that makes you an awesome mom. In fact are you looking to adopt a 32 year old?
BTW- my version of ironing is hanging something in the bathroom and turning on the shower and sink full blast to steam out the wrinkles. It would be far less shameful if I wasn't a bleeding-heart lefty who is always preaching about conserving water. We all have our secret shame.
Yep, tis the season for pretty dresses, eating lots of xmas baking and coming to grips with laundry! LOL!
Sounds like you're doing more than fine :)
I love you!
"I wore the same pair of jeans three days in a row. It happens."
Me too! I thought I was the only one! I think they fit best that 3rd day but they're going in the was tonight!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
Big hugs!!
Eating is the best part of the holidays!
