Confession Friday...It's Been A While

I confess that I am super behind...on everything...and it just makes me want to lay down and take a nap.  NOT GOOD.

I confess I have a busy weekend planned away from home, so I am trying my hardest to stay motivated today and tackle this natural disaster that has become my house.

I confess I can't wait to be back home in 'The Bud' tomorrow...even if it's only for a day.

I confess I'm looking forward to the Family Reunion that we are going to on Sunday.  It's for my Grandma Hick's side...this will be the first time that I've taken the kids to one of these functions. 

I confess I've been having a lot of out-of-body Momma experiences lately...you know the kind, where you can't believe that these two absolutelybeautifulsuperawesomeandamazingkids

 are YOUR kids???  Yeah...those.

 

I confess I have so many blog posts ideas in my head that I really want to get on my blog...refer to the first confession...

I confess I haven't crocheted since I finished Litney's afghan.  Believe it.

I confess we've been spending a lot of time at August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area lately and I am absolutely loving being surrounded by nature.

It's so good for my soul...

I confess my heart melted when I heard GT say, "I Love You, Vadyn" when they were playing together a few minutes ago...sooooooooo sweet.

I confess if you watch this video and your heart doesn't melt...you should possibly consider therapy.

Happy Weekend!!

Do me a favor a leave a comment if you've stuck with me this far...those are also good for my soul.

Peace out.

Confession Friday...03/02/12

*  I confess...I have not drank a soda since I poured myself that little 8 oz. soda last week Thursday.  I still could drink one at any moment though, so my habit is definitely not kicked...

*  I confess...the sugar that I have not consumed by drinking soda I have made up for it in fruit snacks (Fruit Smiles from WalMart are da bomb) and candy, so I'm pretty sure I haven't changed much of anything in that department.  Hopefully next week will be better.

*  I confess...I am in love with Baking Soda.  I am just discovering it's magic - and when you mix it with vinegar it's like your very own science experiment.  Seriously. Amazing.

*  I confess...I ate 6 of 8 cinnamon rolls yesterday.  See confession #2...

*  I confess...I am freaking out that Vadyn is going to be a year old in three months.  Seriously freaks me out...where has the time gone?!?!

*  I confess that my very much needed sister time last weekend was a nice break from my normal routine.

*  I confess...I'm going to do some sort of room decoration for both of my kids and incorporate this:

Thank you LaTosha!

Confession Friday...02/10/12

*  I confess...I missed Confession Friday...so I'm back.

*  I confess...I can think of confessions alllll week long until I sit down to write them out and then....nothing...guess I need to start jotting them down, just like everything else.   Good thing I LOVE LISTS!!

*  I confess...that I will be sooooo happy when I am out of this multi-colored yarn I've been working with for the past three weeks.  Solid color - here I come!

It sure makes a pretty butterfly though...

Look!! I can make hearts, too!!
...more handmade creations coming soon!

*  I confess...that when GT introduced me yesterday, he said - "This is my mother, her name is Mama" -  and my heart melted.

<3 <3 <3

*  I confess that it bums me out a little that the two people I have asked to get a guest bloggers for me for Day H of the ABC Blog Challenge haven't even returned my email.  So.....I have nothing.  Guess I'm going to have to get creative, like Ms. Adrien did here.

*  I confess that it bothers when people don't return my emails, texts, calls, etc...I try to do my best to not leave people hanging and would appreciate the same in return.  Maybe I'm just too sensitive.

*  I confess...THIS is awesome. THIS is not.

*  I confess...I am officially a Pin-head.  14 Boards...61 Pins...since Monday.  I knew it would be bad...that's why I waited this long.  I refuse to be one of those people though who has like 34567 pins and there is no way in heck that they'll ever complete any of them.  I'm all about using it for inspiration.  I've already completed a few of the projects I've found on there!!




 *  I confess that this is the first week since GT started The Little Gym that I haven't opened the door to class during his class...Yes...I'm that mother.  My name is Mama.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!  Peace out.

One more for the road...

Confession Friday 12-30-11

*  I confess...we are SICK.  I know, not much of a confession, but it is what has pretty much taken up the entire week for us here in the White Household.  First GT (complete with 102.2 fever), then me, then Gordon, then Miss V.  : (  That is the absolute worst thing...six months old and a nose FULL of S-N-O-T.  Poor baby.

*  I confess...I couldn't live without this thing:

Nothing kinky here folks...it's a bulb syringe.

*  I confess that I had big plans to do a "Christmas Three Ways" post this week to share all of our Christmas excitement, but with us all being sick...it didn't happen.

My Santa Babies

* I confess that it bums me out when I read that my favorite bloggers are getting burnt out on blogging every day.  I would miss them for sure if they stopped.  I mean...I know I don't blog every day, but I READ blogs every day.  Keep on keeping on, ladies!!

*  I confess that I am super psyched about signing off of facebook for a while.  I decided that January 1, 2012 would be my first day facebook free.  I'm thinking that might get me blogging more.  I will miss keeping up on everyone else's goings on, but I'm just kinda burnt on it.  It's been a good few years.  LOL.

*  I confess that I am Grateful (notice I used a capital "g") for my Mother-In-Law, Wanda, who is watching GT for me today while I continue to nurse my baby girl back to health.  We both had a rough night last night.  Let's not even talk about how much GT & 'Mimi' have been missing each other...

*  I confess that I thought I would sleep the ENTIRE time GT was gone today (and while Vadyn was sleeping, of course) but I haven't slept a wink.  I've been cleaning like a madwoman, getting stuff done that I've been putting off all week since we've been down and out.

*  I confess that I have the awesomest boss ever.  He is letting me make up the work I missed (albeit 15 hours) over the next couple of weeks rather than trying to have to cram it all in next week.  Seriously.  He's awesome...and quite flexible for an older gentleman.  :-P

*  I confess I am in L-O-V-E.......................

I mean, how could you not be?!?!

She is one HAPPY baby!!  : )
See her dimple???

*  I confess I can't remember the last time I saw my Mom smile like that. LOVE IT!!

Confession Friday 12-09-11

*  I confess...Our Christmas tree still needs to be decorated.  It's been assembled since last Friday night, it has the popcorn garland, the buttons that GT stuck on it and two ornaments (that were gifts this year) on it.  GT informed me this morning that I was not finished decorating the tree because it was missing the "Christmas star".  : ) Love him!!  (I hope he's ok w/ the angel I have for the top)

GT helping decorate...he was putting buttons on the tree.

*  I confess that I lied to my son.  I told him that "they" stopped making diapers in his size.  So I kinda forced the potty training thing.  BUT...Today marks one week since I've put a diaper on my boy.  SO PROUD OF
HIS POTTY TRAINING SUCCESS!!!

*  I confess...I spend too much time on my iPhone.  Seriously.  That thing is always at my fingertips.  I need to put it down.  Did I mention my husband hates it?!?!

* Speaking of my fingertips...I confess...I haven't stopped biting my fingernails since GT was born (3+ years ago now).  I chewed my fingernails all through my childhood, teenage years and young adulthood...when I met Gordon, I just stopped.  I had chewed my nails for so long, I didn't even think I could grow "real" fingernails...but I could...and I did.  I liked my hands better when I had fingernails...while I don't chew them nearly as bad as I used to, my hands are still always at my mouth and this madness needs to stop!!!  What kind of example am I setting for my children!?!

So this is my attempt at holding my self accountable...

Consider these my BEFORE pictures. Not pretty, I know.

*  I confess...that I think it's the weirdest thing that I didn't have any back problems the entire time I was preggers with Vadyn.  Needless to say, my back pain is back.  I couldn't stand up straight yesterday.  Suck.

*  I confess...that I don't take nearly the same number of pictures of  Vadyn at this age as I did GT.  I don't know if that is a bad thing or not...I have thousands of pictures of GT...

*  I confess that I use this: ... WAY TOO MUCH... What's your favorite punctuation?

My Very First...Confession Friday 12/02/11

* I confess that this blogging thing is A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT harder than I thought it was going to be.  I have sat down probably twenty times since my last blog...wanting to get the words out (trust me, I've got PLENTY TO SHARE), but I don't know where to start or what to share or how much to share or who really I'm sharing it all with...so, as you see...I haven't blogged at all.  I suck.  Sorry.  It'll get easier, right?

* I confess that Confession Friday's are one of my favorite days in the blogging world.  I get to learn a whole heck of a lot of random stuff about some of my blogging friends...Love it.

* I confess that potty training GT just might be the death of me.  When I tell you my boy is smart, I am not exaggerating.  He freaks me out a lot of the time with the things he remembers, says, etc...he broke himself of the pacifier at 4 months...the bottle at 8 months...everything else has really been a piece of cake with him.  Except this.  He has no interest - really, could care less.  He turned 3 in October, his Pediatrician promises me that I shouldn't worry.  I wanted him potty trained before Vadyn was born....she will be six months old in 10 days.

* I confess that it seriously freaks me out that Vadyn is almost 6 months old.  Where has the time gone?

* I confess that my favorite food right now is Nachos.  Tortilla chips and Colby cheese, shredded on top. I like jalapenos, salsa & sour cream on my nachos, too...  I am not exaggerating when I tell you I want to eat them every night.  I don't...but I could!!!

* I confess that the same mountain of laundry that I had piled up waiting to be folded at the beginning of the week is still waiting to be folded.  I will conquer that mountain this weekend!!!

* I confess that it used to take me 30 minutes to get ready and out the door and now it takes 2 hours...but I wouldn't change a thing.

* I confess that I can hardly wait to get our Christmas decorations up at home.  I've got a lot of cleaning to do first!!!

Everyone have a great weekend!!  I'll try not to let so much time pass between posts next time.
