Friday Fess Ups

I did not have to strip Caroline down in the car yesterday while on my way to the pumkin patch with Christian's MDO class. She certainly did not warn me multiple times that she "had to go potty," and I didn't just write it off and tell her she could wait until we made it home. She most certainly didn't have poo from head to toe, and there was not a wipee bath involved. Ick. My car could not possibly smell like an outhouse right now.

When I bought the M&M's for the behavior jars (that's a whole post in itself to come), I certainly did not have an ulterior motive. They don't call my name from the jar at 2am.....or 4am.....or 10am.....nope.

My son did not spend the entire evening in a Captain America costume--and I didn't have to peel it off of his body at bedtime. He's not currently wearing it again.

I don't have to fight my kids back from the conveyer belt at the self-check stand in Wal-Mart. They haven't had the tendency to sneak things onto the belt...and I haven't accidentally scanned them while talking on the cell phone during check out. Nuh-uh. Not me.

I most certainly do not stand in front of the mirror while brushing my teeth and fret over the fact that one of my veneers on my front teeth is a darker color than the other one. That's just being rediculous and petty.

I don't ever ignore the alarm clock, get up late--thus making Caitlin get up late--and then tell her to hurry and get ready because I was trying to be kind and let her sleep in a bit. After all, she needs her sleep and I don't.
