Fess Up Friday

Guess what? I'm not perfect! No, really, I'm not. Each week, I'll be posting a little bit about my imperfections as a mom and person, of course expecting you to laugh at these situations.

On Sunday, we had to stop 10 minutes after getting on the road from Champaign so Charlotte could go to the bathroom (and yes, she went to the bathroom before we left the pumpkin patch). While she and Greg were in Dairy Queen, I got into the back of the car to burp Caleb. My phone rang, so I placed Caleb back into his seat and reached over to grab my phone. It wasn't until we got home 2 hours and 30 minutes later that I discovered that I forgot to buckle him back into his seat! And this even after numerous times trying to calm him down by looking back to put his pacifier in his mouth! Praise God, he wasn't hurt!

After 6 years of marriage, it finally happened! I fell into the toilet. The thing is I can't even blame Greg for it. I had JUST finished up cleaning the toilet when I needed to pee. I guess I forgot that I was cleaning the toilet bowl rim and not the seat!

On Wednesday I bought a sweater for Caleb for our family photos (along with 3 sweaters for me and another outfit for him. I was pretty indecisive in Target.) On Thursday I discovered the sweater's zipper broke off. I went to Target to return the 2 sweaters and the one outfit Caleb didn't wear and planned on exchanging the sweater that was broken. The customer service lady asked me if I had the sweater for the exchange, and I didn't since I went right to CS. She offered to take everything back and then I could just repurchase the sweater after getting it from the floor. I had every intention to, but since I did have all 3 kids in tow, and my Target is a two-story one with infant/baby clothes on first floor and CS on 2nd floor, I just didn't have the energy. So, yes I returned a worn (and spit-upon), albeit broken zippered sweater. (That will also be documented on in our family photos!)

Wow, that was therapeutic!
