thursday confessions: donuts and photoshop

I confess…

We have been eating way too many donuts lately. Seriously… I think we’ve had them once a week for the past three weeks or so, whether they’ve been homemade, from our local bakery, or even just the Little Debbie ones from Food Lion. We are so bad, but they taste so, so good.

I am a Photoshop junkie… and sometimes I totally feel like I deceive people with my abilities. Boogers on my kid’s face? Cloned away. Toy on on the floor in the background? Gone. My camera picks up so many minuscule details, so even when I wipe my kids’ faces, it seems like I always miss a crumb or two… and since I know I can fix it easily, it actually bothers me if I don’t.

I totally eat ice cream when my kids are napping. Add that bad habit to confession #1 up there…

I struggle to get anywhere on time with my kids. You probably don’t want to ask me to meet you anywhere before 9:30 am on a weekday, because we will most definitely be late.

I really really love giving gifts, especially to my kids. It’s so hard not to go overboard on birthdays and holidays, especially since I’m really good at deal hunting and couponing and usually get things cheaply. I probably still overdo it, but they really do appreciate everything that they have, and our toy rotation system keeps things from getting too cluttered anyway. They are only little once, so I’m just enjoying it for now.

We are really boring when it comes to lunches. All of us eat the same thing just about every day: peanut butter and jelly for Michael, a salad for me, and a yogurt or a PB&J with a salad for the girls. Call us consistent!

Linking up here!

I’ve never written one of these posts before… but I saw this link-up, and thought it looked like fun! Why not? Here we go…PhotoGrid_1456369059524

I confess… that when I drop Kaya off for her weekly preschool co-op, I don’t always know what to do with just one kid. I think I’m afraid of missing her, so most of the time, I distract myself by scrubbing the bathrooms and mopping. At least it’s a productive distraction!

I confess… that I’ve been checking realtor.com every single day to see if there are any new listings in our town. I’m excited and nervous to hopefully find the perfect home for us here in the next few months!

I confess… that I’m pretty terrible at finishing projects that I start. Unless there’s a deadline, I’m slow as molasses at getting things done. I’m still working on crocheting the same baby blanket that I started months ago, and there are projects that have been sitting undone on my sewing table for quite a while now. I want to make Easter dresses for the girls, but I’m trying to make myself finish some of these other crafts first.

I confess… that I have always wanted western boots and totally fell in love with these yesterday when they were 50% off… but I had some self-control and didn’t buy them!

I confess… that Kaya openly proclaims Old Dominion’s “Break Up with Him” as her favorite song. She heard it on the radio once and it’s been her number one hit ever since. Whenever it comes on in the car, she’ll beg me to play it over and over again, but she doesn’t quite understand yet that I can’t control what they play on the radio.

I’ll stop there. I think five confessions is plenty for one day! 😉
