O, where to start! There’s so many confessions so share of late! Knut did not kindly do some laundry while I was gone on my sewing retreat, and leave all of it on the couch for me to fold when I got home. I did not, at that point, leave it there untouched for a whole week (besides stopping by the pile to pick up a sock here or there because someone in the family needed a pair.) Of course I ironed all of them at that point, and didn’t just fold and put them away after said week of being on the couch, because who really cares that the kids are walking around in super wrinkled clothes at home this week?
I have not ever left dishes in my kitchen this last week, overnight, and woke up to a mess in the morning. Never.
I did not go to the wrong HIT basketball game this last weekend, at the wrong gym, and just stand there for a minute, pretending it was the right game because I didn’t want to haul the kids back to the car and drive to another gym. I needed a bit of a breather. When we did get to the right gym, it wasn’t just a few minutes before the game I wanted to watch ended.
I have not, this past week, just put Elias in the crib for a few minutes in the middle of the day because he’s whiny and I don’t know what else to do with him. Just a few minutes of semi-peace in the middle of the day is so precious!
By the way, feel free to leave comments with your “not-me” stories for the week!

April 19, 2010 at 4:20 pmHi there! Stopping by from MckMamas! I put my 10 month old in his crib or playpen from time to time too. Better than losing my temper or ripping my hair out right?

April 19, 2010 at 6:26 pmIt’s okay to put the baby in his crib, it’s like putting them in their playpen. Sometimes mom needs a breather and time to regroup. I’m guilty of doing the same.

April 19, 2010 at 6:43 pmJust chiming in about the laundry thing. I would never do such a thing, no not me, and definitely not every week for the past 3 months doing the same laundry-on-couch-multiple-days-before-folding… how could you? HA HA HA!
My first time here (stopped by from NMM linky) and your kids are adorable.

April 20, 2010 at 2:34 pmI feel your pain on the laundry thing. My sweet husband did the same thing last weekend and I was so irritated. I would rather do it all myself when I am in the mood than find it like that when I am not. You have sweet kids and getting mini time outs is not a bad thing for you or baby Elias.
