Midweek confessions- I've got some good ones this week!

I'm back linking up with E, myself and I this week for a little confessing. SO fun!

* When I went to the grocery store today, I literally went for chicken nuggets and booze but was too embarrassed to check out with just nuggets and booze so I threw bananas and blueberries in the cart. I then proceeded to take aforementioned alcohol to the park where my girlfriends and I poured mikes hard cranberry lemonades into starbuck's coffee cups to be "discrete" and let the kids run wild. Don't judge.... They were cranberry so it was kinda medicinal... No uti's for us!

* I packed Daniel sandwiches shaped like penises on Monday to be silly. He didn't think it was as funny as I did!

* Parker isn't potty trained...in fact, he could care less. I might be serious when I say Avery may potty train before him. No one is pressuring me to train him even though all my friends kids are potty trained but I sure am pressuring myself and feel like a bad mom.

*Do you know something I don't feel bad about for the 1st time in a LONG time?! My body. I'm actually at a point in my life where I feel confident in my shape and size. For a woman, thats huge and I can't say I've felt that way since I worked out a bunch 2 semester freshman year of college. I weigh the least I've weighed since 6th grade and I'm in a size I never remember being in....and yes... I'm bragging and gloating and I kinda feel bad about that but not really. I've worked hard! I haven't been to a gym but I chase after the kids, we walk, run and play. I carry 18lbs on my hip half the day, nurse more than I should which is a full time job and mostly eat scraps off the kids trays and small, frequent meals. If only I could learn to dress cute and keep my makeup and hair up to par I might look pretty good!

*Mt. Saint I hate folding laundry is back and it's 8 loads huge. :(

*I don't "pinterest" because I know I'd be addicted and go broke doing projects that I could probably buy cheaper at homegoods or would look way too DIY for my taste but my Facebook newsfeed is blowing us with things people pin! Most of the time I feel annoyed at the 23,497 quotes people pin because they're so inspirational that they make me feel bad that I'm not saving the dolphins or training for marathons but instead wasting time reading what my friends "must have for summer!" or "I die for this" or "wedding ideas!" (ps- one fb friend who pins a gazillion things to wedding ideas.... We get it, you want a shabby country wedding...in love, quit pinning wedding stuff ALL DAY long and find a spouse first! You look desperate and you don't need to be!) anyways, I digress. I found one I liked the other day and made me think which is a rarity on fb since I use that as my veg out mentally time... It said "dress how you want other women to dress around your husband." I really like that. I usually dress for other women, not men but this was an interesting and thoughtful perspective. I totally agree!

* I just wrote this entire blog from my bath tub (Tuesday evening) while Alice, robot vacuum #2 (RIP Consuela) cleans downstairs and it feels AWESOME! Percy, Nemo, Captain and Squirt have accompanied me and the Toy Story bubble bath is proving quite therapeutic.

Your turn!

Musings from the bathroom floor

Parker brought me the big poster board I let him color on but REALLY wanted markers instead of crayons. I'm in the "pick your battles" stage with him right now so possibly against my better judgment I put them on the tile floor, striped him to his diaper and let him go at it. Well... he also went at himself and thus, he's in the tub and I'm blogging from the bathroom floor. I took pictures of his body art with my crappy point n shoot Canon but my computer isn't reading that SD card right now so you're out of luck on those precious pics! BUT because I know how much you're DYING to see pictures of Parker in the tub and me blogging from the bathroom floor, here you go... pics taken still from the same crappy Canon BUT with a functioning SD card :)

My 2nd fur baby, Moses the pug playing lifeguard. Parker fed Ellie a sour patch kid right before I put him in the tub so I'm pretty sure she's still hanging around the water bowl!

Hello cutest boy in the world! I was so excited to get a picture of him looking at something other than his pee pee. We're having a little "pee pee love" problem lately. This picture was followed with "Mommy, say hi pee pee!" while waiving at it. According to google and parents forums, this is normal and I'm supposed to ignore it... kinda tough but okie dokie.

This picture is in response to the question I get multiple times a day, "How do you feel?" haha. Well... other than fat, tired, bloated, crampy and nauseous... fabulous!  Seriously, I don't know if I have a stomach bug or this is normal for the end of pregnancy (I wouldn't know!) but I want to throw up constantly and I have no desire to eat anything. Do I have the yucks or is this normal?

While Parker is obsessing over "pee pee"... I am obsessed with the song "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns. Parker and I are jamming out to it now via You Tube.

Meanwhile, it's an excellent time to design appliques. Here's a sneak peak of one I'm doing tonight. Yes, it's upside down because this is the way I plan to hoop it.... it will be right side up on the garment.  A tiara for a special little lady... obviously named Zury (this is probably ruining the "birthday surprise" I'm delivering tomorrow. Oh well, act surprised!)

Well... Parker has declared "Out, all done!" So I guess it's time to wrap this up, jammie up the little man and get him to bed... albeit an hour late. Can you tell today has been a fly by the seat of our pants, laid back day?! Not usually my forte as I'm a lover of schedules and plans but somedays ya just gotta let loose, right!?!
