I like to eat... Especially my words...
After 11 years of marriage (this month) you would think I would stop making stupid statements with the word "never" in them. Just recently I was telling anyone who would listen that I wasn't planning on training for a 1/2 marathon I signed up for... and ignorantly added it's all mental anyone can run... Hmmhhmmm, (sorry just choking a little on that last sentence) So last night Gena and I set out to run a cool 6 miles (cold turkey mind you) because you know, it's all mental. By mile 3 I had to stop for fear of puking up all of my insides... we walked the rest of the way, and today I can barely move...
Throughout the years of marital bliss and monkey raising I have choked on eaten a few more of my words. And it's not like I just voice innocent opinions and then come to see the light. I am a passionate opinionated person... When I take a stance on something I want everyone to know... seriously I don't think I'll learn from my mistakes even after this post... it's who I am... it's kinda my thing.
So for your enjoyment, today I am listing my top 10 most annoying had to eat my words statement ever...
- I am never having kids... I maintained this one for 5 years after we got married, but when the baby bug bit, there was nothing I could do. Still to this day I run into people who say, "Remember how you said you were never going to have kids."
- My Kids will only play with wooden toys... you know because the plastic ones are so ugly... today you would be hard pressed to find a toy or anything "kid" in my house that isn't plastic florescent or colored on with sharpie marker.
- My kids won't watch TV until they're 3 and then only educational programming... ahahahahahahahahahaha... had I known that TV is the only way to calm my crack monkeys down I think I would have just skipped that one.
- I will never make more than one meal, my kids won't be picky... If there are pickier kids on the planet I haven't met them. My oldest pukes at the site of green peas and I make 6+ meals a day mon-fri to suit everyone's tastes.
- My kids won't wear anything with cartoons on them.... I still don't like this but my monkeys are freaks for thomas and cars 2 and want to wear anything and everything that dawns those characters... but what's a mom to do?
- Marriage and kids won't make me frumpy... bwahahahahha... anyone who read my post a couple of weeks ago should be spitting their coffee through their nose right now... ya... moving on....
- When I'm a stay at home mom my house will never be messy... I seriously used to say this... I know... I'm an idiot, it's actually probably messier since we're all home all day everyday... who knew???
I know I could add probably a hundred more statements... and if you talk to my family and close friends they could give you thousands more... but I thought hey... I want to hear some words you've eaten darn it!! Spill it girls... post your in the comments below... I can't be the only one who could metal in the olympic sport of putting my foot in my mouth!!
New To The EMM Blog?
Just in case you're new around here I thought I'd introduce myself.... I'm the scattered crazy Earth Monkey Mom Lindsay:) And this is my family. My kids never have clean faces, my house is usually a mess and I always have 3-15 loads of unfolded laundry sitting on my couch. I post here on Wednesdays ... Gena the "with it" organized but still whacky EMM posts on Mondays... and then each Friday we have a different guest contributor... always a mom... sometimes funny sometimes inspiring and always real. We're glad you're here and we hope you'll stick around... More than anything we want you to know that none of us have it all together... and wether your kids are 40 or 4 you're not alone in your journey through motherhood!
