I no longer feel guilty about...







-convincing myself that it's okay to add more cereal to the leftover milk in my bowl so that I don't waste it; although it goes against my diet...

-having pizza again for dinner...there's lycopene in the sauce, calcium in the cheese and thiamine in the crust...it's got to be somewhat healthy...

-for handing the kids over to my husband once he's arrived home because I'm exhausted from breastfeeding, singing, dancing and making funny faces all day...

-for being honest with my girlfriend who asked if the shirt she was trying on was too small and suggesting that she go up two sizes...she asked...

-for letting my children watch more tv than recommended so that I can steal some time for myself...

-hoping that my girlfriend doesn't ask me to babysit this weekend...

-not holding a conversation longer than 7 minutes with my mother within the last few months...I can live without her "you need to" advice for a while...

-sneaking cups of coffee; although I said that I would give it up...

-for hiding some of my kids' toys because they make too much noise...

-for teaching my 5 year old to wash dishes in hopes that she'll perfect it by 6...

-using my dog to clean up all of the highchair droppings my 11 month old leaves behind after meals...
-for hiding my favorite snacks in my desk so that my husband or 5 year won't ask for any...

And...

-for liking Yo Gabba Gabba more than the kids...

  2. LOL...my friend says the same thing...she said it's something about DJ Lance that's scary...but I think he's so goofy...it always gives me a good laugh to wonder what he's thinking while performing on the show!

  3. This was very funny! Bella definitely earns her keep by keeping my kitchen floor clean of all food.
    I've only seen yo gabba gabba a couple times but the guy is hilarious. I was laughing the whole time and then I was singing the songs all day.

  5. Feeling guilty is such a sucky part of being a mom. No matter how much we do, there's always more we COULD do. Letting go of all that is freeing! And I can personally attest that teaching your kids to do chores like washing dishes is well worth it!
