Friday Confessional--Drink Up!

I have to keep up with Glamazon's confessions so we have equal amount of dirt on each other, ya know? So here's the true story of my life...

I confess--

I'm ridiculously picky about the taste of my water

I won't drink certain brands of bottled water because I think it tastes icky

For instance, Sam's Club brand, tastes the WORST (sorry Mom, but it's true)

I also won't drink tap water if it offends my palate either (For instance, if you are ever vacationing at Virginia Beach, don't bother turning on the faucet for a drink. Majorly gross water. Also, Melissa from High School, your tap water was also on my do not drink list)

I use a Klean Kanteen, not so much for the environment, but more because it doesn't make my water taste like plastic after a half hour. Leave water in it over night, wake up in the morning, take a drink and it tastes the same! Wonderful!

We have a filter on our fridge. It makes the local tap water taste much better, but it does not last forever, you gotta change it regularly, ya know?

recently the filter ran out and I begged my husband to replace it, complaining that the taste of the water had changed and was not very good anymore. He didn't believe me about the change. Then he changed the filter this morning, took one sip and was like, wow, it does taste a lot different with the filter! See, I'm not crazy.

And in case you are wondering where the best tap water EVER is, if you are ever in Bloomville, OH, their tap water is phenomenal. Seriously, I drink about a gallon a day whenever I visit.

Friday Confessional--Get Back to Work!

So, what's on everyone's mind this week? I bet you are curious about my innermost thoughts, why else would you be here right? Well, let's get started...

I confess....

I am going back to work

yep, it's for money, not for fun

but it's a good thing I like working at the library

I quit the library 2 years ago with the intention of not going back till I was working on my MLS degree

but then, money got tight again

I guess having 3 kids and the cost of everything going up will do that to a family

and it was either steve get a 2nd job or I could work one night a week at the library

yeah, we went with the easier choice

so, we'll see how this works out

and just for the record, I don't usually tell people my innermost thoughts

in fact, I don't really keep a journal and anytime I do I only write stuff I wouldn't mind other people reading

so sorry I didn't exactly bear my soul this time

maybe I'll try again next week :)

Confessions of a Panic Stricken Mother

I confess....

I do not want to go to bed tonight

which, considering I only got 3-4 hours of sleep total last night, you'd think the opposite would be true

and if you add to that the 3 miserable nights of sleep I got before that

well, you'd think I'd be dying for some shut eye

but I'm AFRAID to go to sleep

because that's when the middle of the night wake up calls happen

that are just BAD NEWS

for instance, last night, my 5 year old waking up puking at 2am

he did not go back to sleep till 6:30am

yep, that much puke

throw in a baby with a fever and you've got momma going back in forth from one to the other all night

which, I know, as a mom, you just can't escape nights like that

but for the 3 nights previous dealing with the before mentioned sick baby with a fever who feels miserable (and a 2 year old also with a fever) did not make the 4th night of fever + puke very easy to deal with

so, now you can see why I'm just a little scared to see what tonight is gonna throw at me.

I'm just being negative and not thinking it's going to bring me sleep is all

on that note, happy mother's day all, after this week of sick kid's I think Sunday is sounding pretty darn good :)
