Summer Confessions

I have been on my best behavior so far this summer, so I thought I would give you all the Top 10 list of things I would never do.

10. I did not lose my 3 year old at an amusement park.

9. I did not pretend to be asleep for an hour and a half while my children ran around like banshees.

8. I did not forget to take Ben to piano lessons. Twice.

7. I did not call my friend and tell her that she had to come save my garden because I didn't have time. Twice.

6. I did not selfishly convince my boys that having one big birthday party for both of them would be more fun than having two little parties. In reality the only difference will be that there will be two cakes.

5. I did not refuse to get in the lake with my children and play.

4. I did not throw my oldest son in the lake because he bonked me in the head with a noodle. Whereupon he did not cry and yell a lot.

3. I did not ignore my leaking toilet for an entire week so that my husband can fix it when he gets home.

2. I did not lose it completely and yell loudly and at length at my five year old while I was babysitting our two-year-old friend O. (Thankfully, her mother did not have to forgive me when I apologized.)

1. I did not confess to my mother that it is already time for my children to go back to school!


As Will would say, that was definitely a sarcasm.

And we aren't even halfway through the summer yet.
