Bad Mommy Monday Returns!
We have not had Bad Mommy Monday in a while. I’m guessing because Jasmine and I have both been really excellent mommies for the past weeks and we didn’t want to make anyone feel bad. ; )
But with Halloween having just passed–Halloween, the holiday devoted entirely to eating so much candy you can hardly stand up to answer the door for laggin Trick-or-Treaters–I know that I have some things to confess.
1. It wasn’t me who woke the baby from a nap in order to get her ready early enough to get all the good candy from the neighbors.
2. It wasn’t me who quietly watched as the neighbors put candy in her bowl, pre-emptively assigning which candy I would give to Norah and which I would keep for myself.
3. It wasn’t me who gave out all the Super Bubble and kept the Airheads.
4. It wasn’t me who fed Norah Halloween cookies for breakfast before church and then acted like I had no idea why she was acting like a lunatic during the service.
Anyone else have Halloween confessions?

Sadly my Halloween confessions are no different than my non-Halloween ones… I just let my kid eat foods that aren’t acceptable as “dinner” for dinner…. oh well.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sometimes slips and serves non-dinner foods for dinner. A couple of weeks ago, we had pancakes for supper–not creativity on my part, just sheer laziness. (Oh, wait, uh, it wasn’t me who served them pancakes because I simply couldn’t think of anything else! Oh, forget it, it totally was.)
And it wasn’t me who sat the baby down with a piece of cinnamon toast then went to see what the Brokins were up to. When I checked back in a few seconds later, I didn’t see that she had poured the entire shaker of cinnamon sugar on the kitchen table and was trying to scoop it up with her hands and cram it into her mouth. And it definitely wasn’t me who shoveled all that cinnamon sugar back into the shaker, because it was pretty clean, and I just can’t stand the idea of throwing it all away, much less making more.
It wasn’t me who gave her daughter Halloween candy before breakfast just to get her to leave the kitchen.
Look at this, I go off to have a baby and come back to find a new layout. It’s lovely. =)
