I’m pretending I’m doing the South Beach diet with my Hubby but I sneak 1 piece of chocolate EVERY SINGLE day, put full fat cream in my coffee, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be sneaking some popcorn tonight. (I will have a little bit of guilt about pretending it was the kids that ate it.)
I told the girls they couldn’t have a sleepover AGAIN tonight because their Daddy said so. Truth is, I’m one exhausted Mama and there is not enough coffee in the world to get me through another sleepover this week.
I have never let my Hubby seen me shave. Ever. We have been married for almost 14 years. The “how to’s” of shaving my bits and pieces are my little secret. The thing is I hide these things, well at least I did until I was dumb enough to post about Things Even My Hubby Doesn’t Know. Guess what? He read it, now he knows.
My girls made home made chocolate chip cookies today. I let them have only 2 after supper, because more then that would be gluttonous So why didn’t I stop at at umm 3 or at least 4? Simple. I have different rules for me, then them. Is it fair? Not at all, but they will have to have their own kids to get their revenge.
Tonight, I had a night to myself. Hubby was away and both girls were at play dates. I had a date with “Me”. I did very well at first. Did some shopping retail therapy, grabbed a Starbucks, then went home. I was lonely? Turns out I am also guilty of being pathetic! I forget how to be alone. 🙂
So my resolutions. I figure I can still do the South Beach with the Hubs…with chocolate, tell white lies about my reasoning for sleepovers and cookie limitations, and practice being alone cause frankly the shopping was amazing. I may be guilty of these simple suburban sins, but the truth is, I feel no guilt. That’s how I roll.

I truly love how you roll. Remind me to come by more often. I totally mean to, I think I have to add you to my blog roll to remind myself more, since my google reader is usually a traumatic experience. 🙂 It sounds like you enjoyed your you-time for a bit, anyway. Starbucks works for me!

HA! I tell my kids daddy said no all the time too, sometimes when he isn’t even here.

I’m pretending to be on the Atkins Diet with my husband! He’s lost 17 lbs, and I’ve gained 1!! I’m going to have to do something soon because my husband is starting to wonder…

Ah, everyone cheats a little on a diet – well, at least I do too;) Also, ain’t no way I’m having my coffee with milk – if I can’t enjoy it with full cream, there’s no point!

Oh did South Beach with chocolate too. it was dark chocolate – and just once piece a day – so I told myself it was okay 🙂 And I got me my antioxidants too.

Different rules for the grown-us eh?? My parents were the best at this! Halloween they made us pool our candy so that we would think our sibs were eating it all – not them. ALSO many times if you went into their bedroom in the morn. both sides of their bed were scattered with the chips and chocolate from their midnight happenings – that we never knew we had! lol Thanks to them, I am also a junk-food monster 😀
