Confessions Confessions

Over the last few months a few of us have decided to do this confession thing. I have no idea what to write actually but I think I'll give it a try.

General comment: I too laugh at inappropriate times. When someone trips and falls my first response is to laugh then I realize maybe I should go check and see if they are okay. My mother-in-law did this one year at a Christmas party she was excited it was her turn to pick out a present that she went prancing up to the front only to fall on her face trying to get to the present table, I couldn't not stop giggling! Its horrid when you don't even stop to think if she is hurt first.

So here are the confessions I think:

1. I like to read Christian fiction novels. If I am in a really good one there is the potential that at my nothing will get done at my house until the book is done.

2. I am excited about painting my house, but am sick to death of painting. I am the one who wants to make the changes but if I have to see another paint roller in the next few days I'll cry. (You will find me crying tomorrow because I have to put the second coat of green on my bedroom walls.)

3. I love football. No I mean it I love football. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Thursday when ever it is on I want to watch it. On Sunday the kids ask to watch something of their shows and we say no we are watching football. The kids ask for us to read them a book we say no we're watching football. Maybe this is a healthy addiction I am not sure. To expand further on this confession we also got Dish Network at our house just so we could watch Monday night football on ESPN. I know what can I say I love football.

4. I wish all the time I was more trendy. I love others clothes and hair and I am just to inept myself to carry off the trendy clothes. I live in a small farming town and am not overly exposed to trends but when I am I feel way out of style. I used to say my only clothes that were in style were my maternity clothes and that was four years ago. Three years ago when I had my Sarah I realized that not even my maternity clothes were in style I was wearing tents for clothes instead of showing that I was pregnant instead of heavy. Sad to reread what I wrote ,I am embarrassed, but I care, I really do.

5. I have a problem with soap operas, oh my goodness I can't believe that I might admit to this. I know their horrid, I know that Jesus wants me to have nothing to do with them. And since we have satellite TV now I don't watch them as often but I really struggle with them. Its the classic, stay at home mom thing trying to get lost in someone else's world. Pray for me!

6. I am overly involved at church. I don't do anything outside of church. My only friends are friends from church, or my friends that live out of state. The other day I said that I am actually sick of church, not Jesus my Savior but the church building itself, I am there all the time. Because my father-in-law is the pastor of the church and my mother -in-law is the secretary of the church when we go into town to visit them we go to church. During the week I have Awana, Youth Group, and regular church on Sunday morning and night. I truthfully have no idea what to do about this admission though.

I think that is enough confessions for the moment I need to go recoup from this. If you are wondering these came out a lot faster and easier than I thought they would. Its easy to confess things once you get started.
