OK, my turn ladies....but there's nothing wrong with a drink or two so I am not going to even count that one! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngtongue.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Stick Out Tongue"><br><br>
1. My house is a total mess, I don't think I've made the girls clean up their toys in weeks, even though we're all literally tripping over stuff.<br><br>
2. Add us to the "other kids watching way too much TV" list.<br><br>
3. I am not above strategically planning to sit on the couch and start nursing Andrew as soon as I anticipate something needing to be done imminently - dishes cleared, toddler's poopy diaper changed, preschooler grinding Play-Dough into the carpet - "Oh honey, sorry, I just started feeding the baby, can you do it?"<br><br>
4. I have exaggerated how tired/worn out/etc. I am in order to get more people from my church group, homeschool group, neighborhood, etc. to make us dinners! I actually feel great and *could* cook for myself, but if someone offers to bring over a baked ziti and cupcakes, I change into ratty clothes and wipe off my makeup to answer the door and get it! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br>
5. The other day I bribed the girls with McDonald's Happy Meals to sit still in the stroller because the baby was asleep in the sling, we happened to pass a nail place in the mall, and I was DYING for a pedicure!!! Actually a random woman (who later told me she's a mom of 5) walked by, looked at me sitting there with all the kids around and my feet soaking in the bubbles and said, "Good for you, Mom! You have to take care of yourself sometimes or you'll go crazy!" <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol"><br><br>
6. I gave up on cloth diapering, too - sold them all on eBay and bought another silk Zolowear sling instead, which makes me much happier!<br><br>
7. I am secretly JEALOUS of Sehbub! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/duck.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Duck">:
