Confessional Friday: {Link Up}

Sorry this is late. Work and Caroline took top priority this morning, but now we can get to it. So....

It's Friday (!!) (All day, I'm told.)

Now, if that isn't something to celebrate by joining in a delightful link-up, then I don't know what is.


1. I confess that the beginning of college football season, (or just football season, in general), has me aching to make chili. The only thing holding me back? Oh, ya know, the temperature outside, which is currently displaying a crisp and cool 97 degrees. FOR THE LOVE, Y'ALL.

Will cooler temps get here? Will we ever get to wear scarves? Will I be able to sit outside on our patio without my rear end and thighs sticking to the seat because of the 1,000% humidity? These are questions that deserve answers.

2. I confess that the weather has not stopped me from ordering sweaters and cute pants. The hellish temperatures may be able to stall my chili-making ways, but I can still shop online.

Premium Knitted Longline Overcoat. Or, as I like to call it, 'what I'll be wearing every other day'.

Need these, you do. (I do, too.) So, I bought 'em Wednesday night. (Not a maternity pant, but the BeBand will fix that problem handily.)

Boucle Sweater. Don't get too excited; it's maternity.


3. I confess that I went to the grocery store with the intention of buying healthy food yesterday and came out with lots of it. Except for the family size box of Apple Jacks. Because, apparently I'm five. (If you would like to join me for some Smurfs and Flinstones on Saturday morning, I'll share my cereal. Then, maybe my mom will take us to the skating rink!)

4. I confess that my child ate a piece of dog food. Yes, friends, it was bound to happen. Ruby's bowl was on the floor last week and Caroline was crawling around like a mad woman. I always try to pick it up first thing before she gets down on the floor in the mornings, but I was dealing with crazy amounts of work emails and trying to participate in a conference call. Lo' and behold, I turned around to see her pop a piece in her mouth like it was a freaking M&M.

I gagged. And screamed. And wiped her mouth out. And may or may not have called our pediatrician and spoke with his nurse who, quite literally, laughed over the phone at me. Her words? "Welcome to the club, Mom."

Has your offspring eaten dog food this week? Have you purchased a heavy knit sweater despite the Saharan heat outside? If so, DO TELL!

  1. First off, I'm so excited to be posting with you on a Friday! I've missed this link up. It's always been a favorite of mine! Second, my Rebs won last night, so I'm a happy girl this Friday morning...SO READY FOR FALL though. Football seasons just needs crisp, cool weather. Sweating my rear off doesn't make me a happy camper. When my brother was little, he drank water out of the dog's bowl. I think every child does it, and I'm sure every mom freaks out. Just gave her a little extra protein for the day :) Happy Friday, friend!

    1. Hahah. When taught first grade, I had a child who ate off the floor all the time. I kept telling him to stop and he said "my mom let's me!" I had no clue what to say after that :P

  4. HAHA oh my goodness! Yesterday I went to the grocery store to pick up all the yummy fruits and veg, etc. I was so tired from work and so overwhelmed at the thought a full food shop, I ended up walking out with a big ol' box of Lucky Charms and a bouquet of flowers for the kitchen instead. In some realm of my imagination I'm still considering that shopping trip a success... somehow...

    Hooray for amazing breakfast cereal and Saturday cartoons!

  5. I don't THINK my daughter has ever eaten a piece of dog food. Although, it totally wouldn't surprise me if she has. However, she has devoured a large chunk of a 3 day old Starbucks cake pop that was hidden in the car seat. Pick your battles, right? :)

  6. This week I was at the grocery store and I happened to walk past a package of Pizza flavored Gold Fish. I have not had them in at least a decade and they totally went home with me!

  8. It's been in the 90's in SC too! I'm so ready for cooler weather, but I've still been eating tons of chili and buying sweater after sweater. Apparently my uncle used to eat dog biscuits. Like, he ate one, liked it, and kept eating more. My Nana freaked out. Kids do really weird things sometimes.

  9. I am laughing out loud about the dog food! It was bound to happen eventually but I'm sure I'll be the same way when Em gets into it.
    Enjoy the HOT weekend- we're in the 110's in PHX still... shoot me.

  10. Loving the camo pants! Definitely thinking of adding some to my fall wardrobe. And yes, every year I, too, wonder if cooler temps will ever arrive or if they are just a figment of my imagination! Happy Weekend!
