Reasons why I was a bad person this past week
Five reasons why I was a bad person last week.
1. I found the news that Brangelina is allegedly breaking up to be a mood-lifter. Nothing like a celeb break-up to lift the spirits!
2. We were at the playground and a little girl and my daughter (similar ages) were climbing on the equipment. Little girl looked down to her mum, pointed at my daughter and said, “I can climb up this but THAT girl can’t”. I smiled and ignored the comment in the way parents do but in my head I thought “Yeah, but you look like a sour-faced little whiner, kid!”.
3. I ate the lollies from the party bags my kids received from a 4th birthday party.
4. My husband was accepted into a Bachelor of Nursing course starting in five weeks. I am proud but my immediate (selfish) reaction was:
“My life will be hell for the next two years, what with him working and studying! Why couldn’t he be like most people and do a job he hates, or even doesn’t really like and put up with it until retirement? Then he can take up golf or something.”.
5. I deleted my husband and daughter’s tv shows from the Foxtel iQ box to make more room for my stuff (that I never find time to watch!) and said, “the three-year-old must have switched off the power point and the recordings failed”.

Seriosly Em u crackme up!!! I reckon I could add a few things to that list!!!

Thanks for the laugh! I wouldn’t dare put a list of my own up. People would be shocked and horrified.
Stopping through from SITS.

Don’t think you’re goin’ to Hell for those offenses…LOL! Hey you’re just human…and I totally would’ve eaten the lollies…and struggled not to say aloud what you were saying in your head to that kid!
Hope to keep in touch with you! Stop by POM if you get a chance!

hahaha!
sorry to burst your bubble, but all the major gossip blogs say the brangelina breakup rumor is false. :-p
I ate my son’s lollipop from a concert over the weekend yesterday too.
Stopping by from SITS. This list is very funny. I always eat the candy from my kids goodie bags. I justify it by saying they should not be eating that much sweets anyway!
Ate the lollipops? Think of it this way…you’re keeping your kids healthy and they don’t need all that sugar anyway, whereas moms need all the energy sources they can get.
Yes, I heard about the Brad/Angie breakup too. People are claiming it’s not true but I wouldn’t be surprised. Dr. Phil said something like, “Relationships that start in affair have a 95% chance of divorce.”
Your honesty was refreshing! So much so, that it got me to think…if I looked back on my week in that fashion, I just might be too embarrassed to repeat the behavior. Nah…who am I kidding? I am who I am…
Great read…have a wonderful week!
I am SO SO guilty of the last one.. I am constantly “accidently” deleting my Husband’s shows to make sure there is enough room for mine! I love it!
Visiting you from SITS.
So funny! That is great! I didn’t hear the news about Brangelina, but it would have made me happy too. Some people shouldn’t have EVERYTHING! If it’s true, I feel bad for the kids!
A fun read today…hope to be by again!
Found you via SITS!
Haha. I love all of your reasons, especially #5. Stopping by from SITS!
This is all hilarious, and I feel better knowing I’m not the only one who does things like this.
What is it about the demise of a celebrity relationship that makes me feel better about mine?! Thanks for the laugh!

I wasn’t too upset about Brangelina, either! I like your list- very funny!
Stopping by from SITS hope you have a great week!
hahahaha I would do a lot of those things if I were in your place. lol The DVR is my favorite device and always make room for my stuff…and I would totally eat the lolipops!
Visiting from SITS!
Hahahaha…these were pretty funny. Stopping by from SITS!
