Weekly Confessions

Since confession is good for the soul, or so I hear, I thought I would share a few more confessions with you today.

• I introduced Jackson to the joy of Fun Dip last night. It was love at first lick.


After he was finished I decided that I just couldn’t resist cleaning the edges of the bowl with my finger and licking my finger clean. I stopped just short of licking the bowl. It was hard.

• I blame the Fun Dip for me not going to sleep until close to midnight.

• I haven’t gone grocery shopping in a week and I’m holding out until Saturday.

• When Jackson asked to go the creek the other day, I told him that the only way we would go is if he would let me take some cute pictures of him, without fussing. It worked! He had fun, and I got some really cute shots!

• And speaking of the creek, I let Jackson bring another stick home from the creek on Tuesday. The rule is that the sticks stay outside because Macy eats them if they are brought in the house. Well, this stick got into the house and Macy immediately started chewing on it. When I threw it out the front door into the flower bed with all the other sticks while Jackson was in the bathtub it broke. I, of course, was hoping that Jackson would forget all about the stick, which didn’t happen. The confession part of this: After Jackson found his broken stick, instead of telling the truth like I know I should have, I convinced him that a bird must have tried to carry the stick off and it got broken that way. I just didn't want to face his wrath!

• We’re going out for Japanese hibachi with friends tonight to celebrate my new job, and I have no intention of having leftovers!

That's all for me toady. Anything you need to confess?
