JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE:
--Don't
judge me, BUT I made some Hamburger Helper for dinner the other night
for the boys. I felt guilty that I didn't prepare something a tad
healthier for the fam, so I cooked up some corn (straight from the can
to the stove top). At least I added a veggie, right?
--Don't
judge me, BUT I have been drinking a LOT of Diet Coke lately. Like, A
LOT. I am trying hard to limit myself, but sometimes I am just really
thirsty and nothing will quench it like a DC. We're talking 3-4 a day.
(Rachel, make me feel better-- you're an addict too, right???)
--Don't
judge me, BUT I honked my horn at a man littering out of his car a few
days ago. I watched him roll down his window, extend his arm, and drop a
brown bag filled with trash and a big ol' can right there on highway
54. I honked and pointed my finger at him (I am soooo badass). He
turned and looked at me with a smirk. I am sure he was thinking
something along the lines of "watcha going to do about it, blondie??"
(in my mind, this all was happening). So I lifted my glasses and gave
him one of my best evil eyes ever. Not that it was scary or anything,
but son, I will stare your rear end down.
--Don't
judge me, BUT the way Cal says squirrel is about the funniest thing
I've ever heard. It is something like "skeeeerrrral" or "sgguuuurrrrl."
Therefore, I make him say it all the time. Just to make me laugh. No
shame in my game. It's funny, y'all. I also got a little scare-a-crow
thing for our front yard. I told Cal her name was Squirrel. Every time
we leave the house or return home, he says "hiiii,
squrrrreeeeeellllll!" I must film him saying it.
--Don't
judge me, BUT the other day the kids were driving me CRAZY. I loaded
them in the car, walked inside and had an out loud conversation with the
Big Guy upstairs. I asked him to HELP me find some patience and to
help me be a better mother. I hate myself when I get so impatient. I
get so disappointed in myself when I am quick to snip/sigh/etc. It felt
so good just having a little one-sided convo with the Good Lord :) Do
y'all ever do that? Just take a few minutes to just talk to Him? I am
not getting all preachy on here, don't worry... but it did help me take a
deep breath and power through an afternoon of screams and endless
questions.
--Speaking
of questions, Don't judge me, BUT the other day in the car, we were
driving down the road, and I kid you not, this is what I heard from the
backseat..."mommy, there is a motorcycle. Do you see it, Mommy? Andy
sees it, OH MY GOSH THERE IS A BUS! Where is he going, Mommy? Do you see
it, Mommy? AN AIRPLANE!!!!! That car has letters on it. He is going
fast. Is it a blue light? No? A red light? Is it red, Mommy? Red light
or blue light? Red or blue, mommy? RED OR BLUE!!!!????? Mommy, I am
hungry. You got me a snack? LOOK AT THE TRUCK!!!!!!" And that was all in
about one breath. And...I just sat there listening....not
answering...just listening. Because, honestly, he didn't care if I
answered or not. He just wanted to talk. And talk. And talk a little
more.
That is it for right now.... I could go on and on and on with things, I know. Y'all don't judge me, k?

hilarious! and no judgements...not from this girl! I say do it and be proud of it - let someone else live your life for a day if they think they can do it better!
DC foreva!!
Ed thinks he has me on a limit to 1 per day but he doesn't see me at work and he most likely won't read this comment so he has no idea that I sometimes multiply that 1 by 3. Or 4....or 5! :)
Hahaha...thanks for the laugh!! I have learned to drop any judgements since becoming a Mom. Who did I think I was before? I had no idea! Haha
Talks with the Big Man Upstairs happen frequently in our house...patience? Please? Guidance. I need it. Faith that this, too, shall pass...it's somewhere! Holy smokes...parenting is wonderful, but it's just not something you can do on your own! :)
