Forgive Me Father, for I Have Sinned...It Has Been 8 Weeks Since My Last Confession

Well, the title of my blog is "Confessions from a First Time Mommy", so I guess it's time for a regular "confession" feature I'll throw in from time to time. I got this idea from a poster on the Baby Center message boards I frequently visit. (Frequently, meaning I check in every free minute I have. I'm obsessed!) If you are a first time mom, visit http://www.babycenter.com/. There you will find so many women just like you that are having the same questions and dilemmas as you. Look for your birth club month and post away! But be warned, it's addictive.

ANYWAYS....my "confessions" this week:

• I confess that my breakfast consists of several, rather large, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that I purchased from the Superstore's bakery. Hey, it has oatmeal. Cut me some slack.
  


• I confess that if I didn't eat those oatmeal cookies in the morning, I would probably reach the end of the day before realizing I hadn't had a bite to eat all day.
  


• I confess that if it is a "pee" diaper, I sometimes don't use the wipes. (In my defense, he is a boy, and I use way too many wipes when it's a "poopy" diaper; I have to save somewhere. That makes it okay right?)
  


• I confess that I cannot resist the urge to pop the really big pimples on my son's face. He was smiling today while I got the huge one off his nose that looked like a wart. I didn't want anyone to think my baby had a wart on his nose! Besides, he was smiling, so he liked it.
  


• I confess that getting--ahem "intimate" with my husband has turned into one more thing I have to schedule into my day that I could really stand to cross off the list.
  


• I confess that I judged a mother who put her baby's bouncy seat on the coffee table while she was cleaning. It vibrated off the table and her baby hit his head...I thought she was really stupid so I couldn't reassure her that it was okay.
  


• I confess that I was immediately humbled when I remembered that my hubby and I--correction, MY HUSBAND-- forgot to buckle our 5 week son in his car seat after a trip to the mall in the states. He only drove like that for maybe a half an hour, but we didn't notice until we stopped at an outlet store when we crossed the border back into Canada. I cried so hard when I found out that he had done it. He actually thought I had done it and was really mad at me; however, how quickly that tune changed when he realized that HE had made the mistake.
  


• I confess that I went back and reassured that mother that mistakes do happen, but for heaven's sake, take him to the doctor.
  
  
• I confess that I'm not really as tired as I make my husband think I am. As I've posted before, I am shocked on how well I function on so little sleep.
  
  
• I confess that I really want to make another confession, but if that someone whom the confession involves ever read it, they would be insulted. Got you wondering now don't I?
  


• Finally, I confess that I really like when my husband does something stupid, because it gives me many funny stories to tell to my friends and family and the world on my blog. You wait until I post my 24 Hour Challenge post...I did it on Facebook, I just have to find the patience to enter in all the paragraph breaks when I copy and paste it into this blog.
