Confessions

My girls could have it worse.

I don't know what happened along the way, but I'm constantly doing things as a parent that I'd never thought I'd do.  I try to be a good mother, but I am definitely weak (read lazy) in other areas. 

Here goes....

• My children watch endless hours of TV.
• I allow my kids to eat Popsicles all day including first thing in the morning.
• I let my children eat fast food a lot. 
• My twins still sleep in my bed.
• If they continue to whine, I usually give in.
• I just stopped my twins from drinking milk before bed, not because of "bottle rot" but so they wouldn't wet the bed.
• Sophie put her doll in a time out the other day.
• We don't keep all our pharmaceuticals in a lock box or safe.
• I take them for exercise at the mall.

Judge me if you want, but it's the truth.

In my defense it's difficult to fill up a 12-hour day with educational enthusiasm.  We do lots of good things to offset the not-so-good.  We go to museums, paint, read, sing, and play all the time, but I'm looking forward to September when they'll have three mornings of top quality time in preschool, giving mommy time to re-charge so that I can be at the top of my game.
