You know those things you want to say, but you might seem a little weird if you walked up to the moms you just met on the playground and said them? That's what I spill here.

Just know you are perfect the way you are!!!
Don't change to try to please anyone!
Love you!!!!
Ha! I hate when I talk to myself in public...without kids...so embarrassing!
Fear of ketchup? What are you doing to those kids???
LMAO Wonderful PINT post!! I'm one of those 'talking to myself' types, too, so you're not alone!! xD Still trying to decide what I want to do for my own notes this week...eh. I'll get there eventually! =) Have a good day!!
Loved this post. I came to vote for Mason and laughed at the note about talking to yourself in public, the clutter queen, heck...the whole thing was funny!!!! Thanks for the chuckle from one of my very favorite bloggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was certain you were talking to ME!
Sure you can please everyone - half when they stay in your life, half when they leave. At least that's how looking at it keeps me from going crazy. And scared of ketchup - how do they eat scrambled eggs? Yep, we're all crazy in our own little way aren't we? And I totally said that all out loud...here, alone, by myself.
There was nothing wrong with talking to yourself...until it became a two-sided conversation. LOL And no, you cannot please everyone and it's really not worth the effort to try.
Get Out Of My Head Shell!! Okay, actually, DON'T. Stay in there and keep writing exactly what I'm thinking.
I'm crazy right along with ya..so don't worry...there's always more then one person mumbling to themselves at the same time...lol
funny!
I"m with Leiah on the ketchup and eggs thing. Afraid of ketchup?
And I can send you a picture of my apartment if it would make you feel better about your clutter. I don't even have kids and it looks like a bomb went off.
LMBO, that could of so been one of my own conversations to myself, minus the beach season.
LOL at fear of ketchup and thick skin/not gaining weight! Too funny! Loved these today!!!
Trying to please everyone is an effort in futility. It never works. I thought talking to myself was something that came with the territory of being a mom. I'm sure my kids just assume I'm crazy.
Way to go Mason!
Totally hilarious girl! You are too funny...I talk to myself all the time!
I definitely think Will thinks I am crazy..sometimes he will repeat the things I am talking to myself about...confusing..I know.
Keeping my fingers crossed for Mason!
So funny! I talk to myself in the car all the time - and I just hope other drivers think I am talking on my bluetooth!
Don't try to please everyone. If they don't like who you are, then it's their loss.
I talk to myself all the time when I'm grocery shopping. I need to bring my iPod or something so people stop giving me crazy looks!
You crack me up! I talk to myself too, it's the answering I understand we have to be afraid of. I've been working on the thicker skin too, it's hard to have things bounce off when we are so transparent.
Have fun organizing! I'm a clutter Queen too.
I adore you.
You are too dang cute! I think these could probably be my post-it notes as well! =)
Too funny! I talk to myself. But I don't answer myself.
You are wonderful, cluttered and talking to yourself doesn't change that!
Although I have to admit, I really want to know the ketchup story. lol!
HAHA! Love this! Especially the first one, SO true!
I so hear you on the clutter. And every time I get it cleaned up, I tell myself the same thing...and it always comes back. Dammit.
I agree with the whole opinion thing. At work, I've learned to not say anything unless someone else speaks to me first. There's no reason to let people in, especially when they could be trying to use things against you. So, I'm polite, and answer questions simply if I'm asked. Otherwise, I chill with my work and my iPod. :)
Oh what I wouldn't do for some thicker skin! (and thinner thighs)
How true!
Have a great Tuesday!

I had regular conversations with myself, sometimes they are the best conversations of the day :)
I too had a no clutter rule when we moved to our new house.. and you know it is much easier to start off right then get it right later (as I stare at the one counter who's view is often blocked by the fridge that has about a foot of clutter on it)
Start organized and stay that way...BEST.advice.ever. Seriously. That's totally where I go wrong.
Love the post-its. Super funny.
Shoot. I voted to early today for it to work. I will try to remember to come back and vote later.
I absolutely laughed out loud at the post-it about not talking to yourself in public without the kids as cover ... too funny!!!
I'm not nearly as concerned about your habit of talking to yourself as I am about your fear of ketchup.
I mean, granted it probably has a mess of preservatives and other fun crap in there, but it makes french fries dance in your mouth.
How is that scary?
Don't change a thing! You are amazing as you are. Love you and I will always have a special place in my heart for you. You are the best! :)
I love these... I am eating a piece of pizza at 9:43 a.m.... I have a feeling the skin IS getting thicker! EEK! :)
Have a great Tuesday!
I need to shed my tough skin too . . . My fat @$$ is nowhere near being beach ready!
Hilarious! I LOVE your concept for this blog. It would save my husband a lot of grief if I spilled my barbs online!
I especially like the "unless you are asked your opinion" post-it. Because I sure know a few people I could pass that along, too. None of which I can name. Right now.
Found you through SITS!
I love them all!!! stop by
Love these! I need thicker skin too...and not in the fat kind of way :)
Hi Shell,
Here is another post it note for you: There is an award waiting for you on my Friday's blog. Hope you get a chance to pick it up!
Take care,
Anne-Marie
I tried so hard to not pass on my neurosis to my child and turns out, he's even weirder than me and has so many on his own!! He doesn't have mine though so I guess it's a success:)
Enjoyed reading!
It can totally happen! I was a straight up slob at my old apartment, but when we got our new house last year, I swore I would not let it get cluttered up and it is still looking great!!! You can do it!!!
I am all cluttery around here too, I love/hate it all at the same time!
And what is it with ketchup? My husband has an irrational fear of it as well!
When you get the thicker skin, can you send some my way? And no, I am also not talking about extra body flab.
Also, if you find the secret to the de-cluttering, whisper it to me.
Or even better yet, someone to de-clutter for you, when you're done, point em in my direction.
Great notes. Thanks for brightening my day.
oh you are a tough one!!! haha! You were so mean to yourself in those post its but I am laughing cause your freakin hilarious!
Whats this about ketchup?
Off to vote for your cutie pie!
LOL - loved it!
I think all moms talk to themselves it's called therapy or they'll go crazy with all in their head!!!
Thanks for the laughs - stopped over from PINT!
I think talking to yourself in public is a requirement to being a mom. You always make me smile when I read your posts.
I don't know, I think I have you beat on the clutter! {Refer to blog name.} ;)
Baaaahahaha! Girl I think you stole my post it notes!
Hahaha! "No Clutter In The New House" --- Girl, I am telling myself the VERY same thing! I bet you hold to it better than I do.
I'm new here. Love your blog!
Aw Shell ~ You always make me smile! But curious minds want to know ... You're afraid of ketchup???? LOL!
Did I already tell you I moved? I'm losing track ... Anyway ... I wanted to leave you a message about having moved my blog since you have been one of my beloved followers. I moved it this past weekend and it is now at http://www.bethszimmerman.com/ I would love it if you would come visit ... and maybe even follow again. :)
Thanks!
LOL! I am all the time talking to myself in public. I always wonder why people are looking at me like I should be committed and then I realize that the kiddos aren't with me.
LOL! These were great! I agree with the others, you are perfect the way you are!
Do you need me to help you unpack so that you are organized? You know I would in a heartbeat if you lived closer! :)
It's okay to talk to yourself...someone (even if it's a bug) is listening...lol
I could use some thicker skin too.
Shell ... Darlin' you could move to Timbuktoo and we would come find you and comment! I promise! :)
those are great tips! so glad I found your blog I love it!!!
Wishing success!
LOL !!!
Mustard has always frieked me out...
Condiments should be feared (-:
When you find out how to get thicker skin without the extra lb's...let me know!!!!
Great post its! I talk to myself quite often lol
LOL! #1 and #2 I could stick to my forehead. Um, I also find myself talking to myself... especially at the grocery store, and I've done it many times when the boys aren't with me. HAHA!
Hilarious. And, the fact that you were talking to yourself about not talking to yourself? Seriously made me giggle.
You crack me up. I always start out with ambitions to stay organized...then quickly remember how I got there to begin with!
That clutter sounds familiar.
You are so funny! I have to remind myself about talking to myself all. the. time. !!!
I always talk to myself and totally blame it on the kids! How are you settling in? I finally made a blog roll. Guess who's button I grabbed first? Oh my god that sounds kinda dirty. :)
Lots of yummy love,
