Motherhood should be listed as a mental illness

20 Confessions

1. I HATE the show Sex in the City. If I had to choose Sex in the City or Barney, I'd choose Barney.
2. I hate the show Barney. I know that's not really a confession, but it relates to #1.
3. I have a crush on Alton Brown from the show Feasting on Asphalt on the Food network. I do not have a crush on Alton Brown from Good Eats. I just have friendship feelings for Alton Brown on Iron Chef America. For those of you who do not watch these shows it is the same person on all three.
4. I like the movie Beaches.
5. I still cry at the end.
6. Sometimes I want another baby (then the kids wake up from their nap).
7. I wonder if my kids annoy other people like their kids annoy me.
8. I am usually annoyed most by kids ages 8-12. I'm not sure why.
9. I'm worried about the time when my kids hit this age group.
10. I love gross medical shows. The last one I watched was about a baby that was born without skin on 30% of his body.
11. Spit and phylum make me want to throw up. I hate even hearing someone clearing their throat. Baby spit up I'm okay with.
12. I'm constantly thinking about worst case scenario (someone breaking into my house while I'm upstairs sleeping, how would I get the kids from across the hall and out of the house) and what if(what if something happened to me and Patrick had to take care of the kids all by himself, big things he can handle, but he doesn't know the little things, like when to cut their nails).
13. Since I'm a huge procrastinator, I have yet to follow any of my plans or to tell Patrick when to cut their nails.
14. I really hate a lot of the "classic" must love/see movies.
15. I find it shocking that people are really shocked when they find out that I hate blue cheese.
16. I sometimes wonder if I'm too hard on my kids. I once put Isabella in a time out AT a store. On the bright side, Isabella now listens very well in stores.
17. I often wonder if parenting magazines and books are written by people with kids.
18. I love music, but I couldn't tell you who sings what song in most cases. Did Metallica or Barry White sing that song?
19. I can truthfully say that I can list on one hand (less now that I've had kids) the number of things I like about my body.
20. I love hearing how crappy the lives of people I grew up with are, well the ones I didn't like anyway.
