Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

  • I've cone to realize that I bought the Pitch Perfect movie for others because I really wanted it for myself. I keep asking my SIL to bring it when we're together but she's still never seen it and that annoys me.

  • I have a lot to do today to get us ready to go out of town this weekend, but instead I just sat and made a list of the 10 most influential books in my life for a Facebook taggy thing. Now i'm on NBC. Most. Go. Pack.

  • My kids started school about 3 weeks ago (2nd grade and kindergarten).  I had grand plans of how I was going to spend my days organizing and having a spotless, super organized, nothing out of place home.  So far, I've read about 10 books.  My house is clean (not spotless) but I haven't even started any of the other projects.  I think I am way too much of an introvert to be home without my kids.  I could sit on the couch and read all day long and be perfectly happy.  Part of me feels guilty for not being productive.  But then I wonder if I'm really feeling guilty for not doing anything, or feeling guilty for not feeling guilty about taking some "me" time.  If that even makes sense.  :)

    Yay!  I keep telling myself I'm going to pick my NaNo project back up, but it's been two years so that hasn't really worked out for me yet.  Whoops.

  • I opened a bottle sparkling water and sprayed it all over myself, my work and my desk.  It looks like I was in a wet t-shirt contest.  I just want to give up on today and go home.

  • Congrats @Lauren620 !!!!

    My confession is that I've recently had to bite my tongue with my husband A LOT and I'm just hoping it all works out. We are at the same point in our degree program but he is really struggling to find the motivation to finish and has even talked about just quitting (we are only 9 months from being done!!). I've tried to be as upbeat and positive as I can however he complains he doesn't have enough time to get things done. Meanwhile I work (and I'm not kidding) 20-30 hours a week MORE than him and I'm getting it done. My husband is extremely stubborn and if I tried to point this out to him he would say it's different or something so I think my best course of action is to be as supportive/encouraging/respectful as possible. I'm just hoping he gets through this funk quickly!
