I Confess : I Lock Myself in My Pantry

I confess... There are days I want to lock my children in a closet.

I confess... I have never locked my children in a closet.  But I have locked myself in my pantry.  The garage.  Bathroom.  And my closet.

I confess... I have more patience for other peoples children and slim to none for my own.

I confess... There are times I curse, when I know I shouldn't, to emphasis the point I'm trying to get across.

I confess... When I was a kid I swore I wouldn't be so hard on my children as my parents were on me.

I confess... That hasn't worked out so well.

I confess... Our pantry is my favorite place to hide. Case in point...



I confess... My oldest son is behind in his 2nd grade learning and I feel it's my fault and I'm failing him as a parent.

I confess... I am notorious for complaining about my children climbing into my bed, but there are nights when they don't climb in that I go and get them.

I confess... I was a much better mother before I actually had my children.

I confess... Even though there are days all I do is scream and doubt myself as a mother, I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I Confess : What A Crock of Shit

I Confess...

There is no part of child birth that's fun!  It's hard, it's messy, and any thought of modesty goes out the window when you have four strangers standing around looking at your whoha.  Then there is the pain.  If someone tells you pushing something the size of a cantaloupe, and sometimes larger, out of a 9cm hole is easy, they're on crack rock.  Or pain medication.
  

But then you hold your child for the first time and you are blown away.

I Confess...

Being a parent is one of the HARDEST jobs you will ever have!  I read a blog post this morning stating parenthood wasn't difficult.  My first thought was she's full of shit.  Actually I think my exact post was, "What a crock of shit."  My second thought, which I kept to myself, "I want what she's having!"  Two Prozac's and a shot of tequila???
  

On the flip side, it's one of the most FULFILLING jobs you will ever have!

I Confess...

Marriage isn't easy.  No part about it is easy.  Not even the sex is easy once you have kids!  It's constant work.  Constant learning.  Constantly finding the middle ground.  There will be ups, and there will be downs.  At times you may doubt yourself.  Nothing is perfect, no marriage is great.  But you get what you give, so give 110%.

Makeup sex is always better anyways, right? ;)
