mommyhood confessions

I have some [pretty silly] confessions to make about my mothering. but before that, i would like to give a BIG thank you to my Hubby. He cleaned the ENTIRE HOUSE last night [well, just about], even though i know he's been tired/stressed lately. thank you!

My confessions:
1) I dont button all the buttons on Erica's clothing
a. If she's wearing a onesie underneath her outfit, i wont snap all the buttons. no one's going to see it, so why struggle with her more than necessary? and another thing... ***gasp! normally the snaps dont even line up. i just rush to get one or two and dont worry much about if they're the right ones.
b. When i put on her pajamas for nighttime, i rarely button the neck. why??? no one is gonna see her-- she'll be sleeping! and besides, i know that personally i dont like to sleep in a shirt thats tight around my neck, so i dont want to do the same to her.

2) I sometimes forget to change her diaper. ***gasp! I aim to change her diaper everytime she wakes up, before going to bed at night, and then of course whenever she's yucky. But sometimes if we have to go somewhere right after she wakes up, i forget to change her diaper before we leave and she ends up having it on still for quite awhile.

3) At times, i do turn the TV on in hopes of distracting her so that i can get stuff done. ... Though, this isnt much of a confession, b/c it rarely works. She's not interested at all in TV. The only thing she'll actually watch is Strawberry Shortcake. She dances to the songs, and its really cute. But, she only pays attention for [at the most] fifteen minutes.

4) Some days i'll take naps too. In my defense, its not often. Just once a week, not every day. Normally only if i've had a stressful or long day previously.

5) We dont always have the most "nutritious" lunches. She always gets a good breakfast and dinner. Lunches seem to be more hurried though, especially if we have errands to do. sometimes she just gets a corndog. Also, speaking of food-- if she's cranky in the car, sometimes i'll feed her pretzels just to get her to quiet down.

Well, my baby girl [well, toddler girl] just woke up, so i must leave. have a great monday!
