Mormons don't go to a priest and semi-anonymously cleanse their souls with regular confession. I wish we did. Priests hear it all and can tell you "you are not so bad". Glamazon hosts one every week.
Today, I'm participating.
- I'm completely out of motivation to do more than feed my kids.
- Seriously. We're not even getting dressed over here.
- I know it's some evil combination of birth control and PMS and way too much candy and no exercise.
- But I don't care.
- I take magic pills that are suppose to cure acne, but I'm still pretty grotesque.
- Sometimes I up the dosage in hopes it'll work better.
- While I was picking up my magic pretty pills, I noticed that two of my favorite candies were on sale, 3/$1 and I took that as a sign from God that I should by them.
- I ate them and feel like I should put away laundry or something to make up for it.
- I can think of two things that make me a really awful bad Mormon, but I like them both very well, so I'm gonna keep at it.
- Every Sunday I hope one of my kids will cough or sniffle or have a fever. Because I don't want to go to church.
- I love my house when I'm the only one home.
- I can't remember the last time that was the case.
- I need a vacation SO bad.
- And I would like to go alone.
- Really.
- So, Bad Mormon, Bad Mother, Bad Wife. Yay Brandy.
- I have a very hard time deciding what to feed the kids.
- I've been giving them what they like and gone through about a bottle of ketchup a week.
- People keep telling me to talk to "someone".
- I think I will kill the next person who says it to me.
- Talking to someone won't make my husband come home for dinner, dammit.
- I have absolutely no hope that anything will.
Hap Hap Happy Friday everyone.
(Whew, glad I got all that off my chest.)

8 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
That's your confession? You're doing awesome!
Holy cow! I think we were separated at birth or something! Uncanny!
I think a vacation by yourself is very good medicine!
And I really think it is crazy that you think you are a bad Mormon. I will have to send you an email sometime to let you know how crazy I think that kind of thinking is. For one, it makes you stuck, thinking that you do a few "wrong" things so what's the point, right? I honestly believe Mormonism is much more open and allows itself much more diversity of thought, etc. than most people (Mormons and not) give it credit for.
And I've taken a vacation by myself. I got a hotel on priceline for two nights in a city about 140 miles away from my town and just lounged around in my hotel room, got take out, exercised, went shopping, wandered, templed. Let husband and child alone -- excellent. Pick the weekend you are going to do it, tell Greg you're leaving at 5pm on Friday night -- if he doesn't get home in time, arrange to have a sitter come over to hang out till he gets in. Leave and come back Sunday afternoon. Do it!!!!
I always tell my hubs i want to take a vacation by myself! lol!!
Is it weird that I am giddy excited that you played? Really. Cuz I think you're so funny and witty and it totally intimidates me. Okay, enough gushing.
I totally need a vacation alone. Or time in my house alone. Or just a meal alone. I'd even settle for uninterrupted potty time.
I'm so glad God sent you that candy as a sign-see, it's the little miracles in life, right?
I have motivation for anything these days. It is a miracle my kids get fed at all.
Why wait for the kids to cough - just cough yourself. "Hunny, take the kids, I need to sleep. *Cough*" I took the magic pills and I still get zits. It's really ridiculous. Loved your post!
