confessions or vents ???
I did not want to ride to work with DH today because I just wanted 20 mins to myself on the trolley. I ended up riding with him.
But my confession is - that Im super surpised by my DH. He traded in his fancy schamancy sports car for a SUV - its automatic so I can drive it to. 5 year bumper to bumper and no more preimium gas. I thought that was very sweet of him. Since the plan was for me to get a used suv this year he just got us a new one. But now I feel all guilty.
Re: confessions or vents ???
...right place at the right time...you never know.
Confession: I'm not looking forward to today at all. DH is going out after work which leaves me with the kids all day by myself...and I went to bed last night at 12 and woke up at 5:15 with Braden.
It's only 10am and yet I feel like it should be time for DH to get home from work and start playing with the kids so I can get dinner started. 
...dinner...ugh....what's for dinner?
Vent: I hate that On Demand does not have the Little Einstein's episodes for view. My kid is totally bummed.
Confession: We're very close to closing the sale on FIL's houseboat. I think I'm taking it harder than DH. There are so many memories there, and I'm trying really hard to pretend like it doesn't bother me.
Vent--My kids have been going to bed horribly lately. The process starts at 7:30 and usually isn't done until 9:30, with Brinley's bedtime antics waking Nolan up. This leaves me zero time to do dishes, laundry, etc. which has a chain reaction on my desire to actually cook.
Vent
My ILs were here this weekend and I came to the realization that as long as my SIL and my step-MIL's brother lives in Pittsburgh (they're from NY/NJ originally), Gabe will never receive the undivided attention of his grandparents when visit, they way our nephew in CT does and that (possibly unreasonably) hurts.
They spent maybe 4 hours total with Gabe the entire weekend. The rest of it was spent running around buying my SIL things and visiting with brother and his family.
Confession
I'm actually anxious to have another baby. WTF is wrong with me? I had a horrendous delivery. I have a rather high maintenance newborn. I HATED being pregnant. And I'm thinking about starting it all over again. I must be sick.
I can't think of any confessions, but I do have a vent: my girls are now 2 different sizes. It's noticeable. Liam is only nursing in the evenings now (and barely then) so I'm really hoping that once that stops altogether they will somehow balance out....
annoying.

Liam - 5.17.11
Well, I just thought of a confession because I just did it:
I never took myself off of the email list from when we were looking to buy a house, so I still get all of the new listings delivered directly to my inbox...and every single time, I click on the listings because I'm just that nosy.

There's a perfect storm of craziness in my house right now.
Both kids are sick and insanely crabby, I'm pmsing big time, we're moving in 4 days and there's some family drama going on too. I'm am so close to exploding, it's not even funny.
Vent: I hate building a house already and we only have a foundation. The full vent is in my page to lala. I've very annoyed today, still.
Confession: I worry a lot that I'm screwing up with Lanna. She used to be so sweet, and now she's such a brat sometimes. I mean, I still see some of the old sweetness, but she can also be so selfish with her brother and she acts obnoxious and spoiled when she doesn't get her way. She's whiny and dramatic about everything. Sometimes I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing with this parenting stuff!
Mandy - it's the age! I promise - we went through the same thing with Gavin at age 4. He's finally back to being his sweet self (with little hiccups along the way, of course).
My vent is that my Mom is driving me crazy trying to force her opinions of what I should and I shouldn't do, on me. I'm almost 38 yrs old - DH and I can make decisions for ourselves as to what we can/can't do.
My DH needs to settle down - he confessed to me last night that he almost stopped by the store last night to pick up a FSBO sign to stick in our front yard. I had to remind him that the den is not done yet (needs paint and carpet) and that we can't show the house until it's done. (He's insisting that telling people "we're finishing this, that, the other" will work while I tell him that that is not going to impress anyone enough to buy!) We're both so anxious for a bigger house now that we're expecting #3.
DH contacted a realtor about a house over the weekend via the company's website and we have not heard from the guy. Seriously, dude? Are you trying to sell or not?
Oh yeah, and #3 is due Christmas Day. Surprise!
My three sons!
