Sunday Confessionals

Ok so here I go.....

I almost didnt post this because its not perfectly centered and there is stuff in the background and then I thought...."oh screw it" the truth is, I am tired of putting a front on for people to think everything is perfect. I have 6 kids who are loud, crazy and often times wild, but they are amazing and I cant stand to be away from them even for 5 minutes and its times like these (in the picture) that make it all worth it! I love their smiles!!






Is that the beginning stages of a moustache?? This is my first born child, Kumayl. He is going to be 14 soon which means one more year until drivers training and worrying about finding a car. (EEEeeekk!!) I remember just yesterday when he was dressed in his superman cape jumping off the edge of the bed screaming "BOO BOO DAYDEYAAH" which in his baby talk mean 'to infinity and beyond' of course! Im so grateful for my relationship with him! and a better picture of him would definitely make up for the fact that I posted this closeup so here it is....
(hes so handsome isnt he??)





My son zabien has (for the past 4 years) decided that an afro will be his "thing". He has the most beautiful curly hair, so naturally, I allow this. Some people dont think I should...I dont care, hes my son, not yours so why worry about it? However, can I just say that as much as I love him, I absolutely LOATHE braiding it! He has the most sensitive head, just brushing it is a daunting task let alone parting it, re-wetting the dry areas, gelling it and braiding it! Just another task I just chalk up to another oh-so-fun motherly duty.






I have a thing about noises...mouth noises, popping noises, body noises....omg I just cringe thinking about it! The worst noise of all? Chewing gum...well chewing anything with your mouth open is just the most disgusting and rude thing you could ever do around me. Nothing will make me snap more than a loud chewer!
****BUT****
Chewing gum takes the cake! I mean its horrible, I cant even stand the sight of it, sound of it, popping it, blowing it, stretching it...in fact, I cant wait until Im done with this part so I can put another picture up and stop looking at it. I feel nautious! (I know, I should have my head checked....) Cant shake the shivers that are running down my spine....on to the next!!








I am ALWAYS late!! I try, I try and I keep trying but no matter what I do...Im late for everything!!
 Ive set my clocks to always be 14 minutes fast-doesnt work.
Ive lied to the kids and told them something starts 30 minutes before it does so we would all be ready (and while this makes us there sooner than we would normally be...we are still late)
Ive set personal goals and rewards for myself if I make it happen...still nothing!
Even now, I was supposed to have this, my first post, finished hours ago and here I am. Heck, its not even Sunday anymore!


So there ya have it....my Sunday (now Monday) confessions...not proper or glamorous, just me, plain ole me :)
