Hefty dose of reality

#1 Self Portrait
I think my forehead is getting bigger as the years go by.


#2 What the Kids Are Doing
This morning, they were making blueberry muffins for breakfast. You can be sure they won't be doing any laundry, cleaning or anything productive. Mostly they just make really good messes.



#3 The Fridge
I'd like to blame the mess in the fridge on the kids, but I guess it's my own. Looks like dino chicken nuggets and mac & cheese for dinner again! Wahoo!


#4 The Kitchen Sink
In my defense, this is the post-muffin making sink. Usually it's pretty clean.

#5 Favorite Shoes


Just chalk it up there with things I swore I'd never buy before I actually had kids. As a mom, do you find yourself eating your words faster than you can speak them?




#6 Favorite Room in the House

It's too small to have a formal living room, so I turned it into my library. I'm not sure what I like more about it, being surrounded by my books or the lack of anything Lightning McQueen or High School Musical.


#7 Dream Vacation
I don't think you need an actual picture to imagine a beach somewhere with Eric and I drinking big, fat Diet Cokes and working on a nice sunburn.



#8 Bathroom
Eric has never liked our guest bathroom. But I do. I wasn't even shopping for a shower curtain when I found that one and LOVED it. I could not care less that nobody else likes it because I DO!

#9 The Room I Spend the Most Time In

Cleaning this kitchen is much like scrubbing the deck of a sinking ship. Why bother? But I guess I'm the captain going down with this ship because I seem to spend countless hours vacuuming, scrubbing, organizing, reorganizing, loading and unloading dishes. That's why you see the computer, water bottle and headphones on the table. This is my 'office'. Pretty fancy huh?

I guess all my secrets are out. No chef and lots of tacky character clothes. This was a fun post. Thanks so much Kim! I'm tagging everyone who would like to play along.
