That some days, I want to hop in my car and escape far, far away to a coffee shop and spend the whole day knitting something very, very complicated that requires counting stitches and absolute concentration?
That, conversely, I am looking forward to August with Arun being out of school for the month? Besides, it will be nice to have him all to myself and not have to schedule around his school days.
That I am a wee bit obsessed with the whole Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt thing? Yes, I totally feed the paparazzi and I am duly ashamed of my behaviour.
That I am jealous of those naked bloggers who totally lay bare their souls on their sites? I wish I could write those sorts of things and get them out of my system, but I feel restricted by my family's privacy.
That I listen to Dr. Laura nearly every day? While I disagree wholeheartedly with her stance on gays and lesbians, I do agree with her general principles regarding family and marriage.
That my very favorite cheeseburger of all is a simple McDonald's cheeseburger? However, hold the ketchup! Sugaring up a bunch of pureed tomatoes ruins a perfectly good burger. Bleh.
That I love, love buying my kids toys? This one really sucks because obviously, I am going to have reign myself in. Otherwise, I will end up with two very spoiled brats.
That I like Spongebob Squarepants? I feel as if I should turn in my Mom Card on this one. *gulp*
That I have trouble getting Anjali to sleep? X puts her to bed each night, so they have a routine down that I cannot, for the life of me, replicate. And yes, naptime is hell. Is this where I mention that X has to work really late tonight, so I am on my own with her bedtime routine?
That I have fallen off the wagon in regard to my Coke habit? I am managing to keep myself to about one can a day, but I really feel I should do another soda fast.
Okay, lay it on me, people of the Blue Nowhere. What is darkening your soul these days?

I love your list and your honesty!
That I would be perfectly happy to send my kids to day care and spend an entire day by myself reading blogs.

That my attempts at quitting are not going well.
That I could kick myself for starting again. What was I thinking? Moron.
Gee, thanks Cagey I feel a bit better now.
I can't really naked blog either (I guess that means letting it all hang out?). I self-edit a lot. Also, my life has crept to boring times ten.
That I let Porgie nap until 3:30, even though I know that it means that she won't go to bed easily at night. It is just so nice having quiet time during the day.
That I sometimes forget to feed Porgie breakfast. How does that even happen?
That I get a little angry when Izzy refuses to eat pureed foods. Why do I keep insisting?
I must confess...

That I am getting ready to do an all over color on my hair for the first time.(At the age of 32.)
That I have never taken the blinds or curtains down in my house to clean them, since we've lived here. (9 years) Maybe I'll do that this weekend!
That I might sound stupid posting a comment on someone's blog. Good thing this one is my sister's.=)
Whew! That felt good.
Marathon Mom,
I am so telling on you! Especially about the cheese.
Ditto on the knitting in the coffee shop, way to much cheese and never cleaned minblinds!
That sometimes, when I'm really overwhelmed, I feel like screaming "Do you want me to leave and never come back? Is that what you want?" Even though I never would and I know it isn't what he wants. The only reason I don't actually say it is because my mom yelled that alot and I don't think she has any idea how much it hurt to hear it.
Sometimes when were both really tired I just rinse off Caleb's feet and put him to bed without a bath.
I started taking an anti-depressant this week.
Before I did I was drinking more than my fair share of wine every night.
Twice I HAVE taken my kid to daycare and then called in sick to work, just so I could sleep. And once I got a massage.
I need/want to read more but I end up watching stupid television instead.
Sometimes I just feed my son Gerber Graduate meals instead of fixing an actual meal for him. He usually eats more of the Graduate than whatever I make anyway.
That I hope we love the house in Washington as much as I currently do when we see it in person.
That I'm so not ready for the movers to pack our stuff tomorrow, or for the housing folks to come by this afternoon for a pre-moveout inspection. I wanted to have so much more done.
That rather than get more done, I'm "wasting" time writing, reading, and commenting.
And, I think it's fine that you like SpongeBob. I think I'd like him if I took the time to watch, but I'm certain, for now, my kids do not have the appropriate self-censor to watch it regularly.
