Hey, it's okay...
Whispering Writer at Airing My Dirty Laundry One Sock at a Time got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. She does this every Tuesday and invites others to do it, too. No linky or button, just a shared idea. I thought I'd join in, post-it note style, of course.
It's also okay to vote for me in the Not Mom of the Year contest! PLEASE vote for me HERE. One vote per day.

I'll be honest and admit to taping my daughters close on at one point..lmao Didnt work but I had to try
*clothes sorry
What are you saying? That break and bake cookies aren't WORK??? They totally are. You have to open the package, put them on the tray, make sure you set the oven right...
Happy PINT!
I'd like boobs for my birthday. Maybe I'll put those on my list next year!
What is it with little boys and being naked?!?
Sorry about the blackberry. I'd cry, too!
LMBO, I just did the MCDonald toy thing the other night :D
Love Mama Mia
Can I just say AMen to all of that! Nothing to be ashamed of and I am guilty of most of those! Love it
Ha, I have a whole post I'm working on about Happy meal toys.
And I always wish for boobs.
Hahahahaha....you know which one I'm laughing at. :)
I am guilty of the duct tape on the diaper. Forget nakedness...I don't want the mess. :-)
I don't like talking to my hairdresser. Heck, if I'm splurging on getting my hair done, I want to enjoy my moment away from mommyhood.
And Happy Meal toys? Yeah...they're gone as soon as I can sneak them out the door.
I throw away mc donald's toys when they aren't looking too! Yipee! No guilt here!
Tru blood...I think this is on my husbands list of things to watch. It is something I would like?
I love this post! Made me laugh picturing streaking toddler. Too funny! I think it's a boy thing. :)
I totally throw the happy meal toys away too. I think it is ok to duct tape that diaper on too. I have a mad streaker here too.
I know people who HAVE duct taped their child's diapers on.
Sorry about your blackberry! That sucks!!
Oh, and we totally throw away the McD toys all the time!!
My husband wants to get me boobs for my birthday but I like the boobless look. And streaking across the yard. Aren't kids great.
LisaDay
Those were great!
I love True Blood!
True Blood makes you blush?
My baby loves Britney so I'm sure I will hear 'Do you want a piece of me' or 'gimme more' or something one day.
Loved your it's okay!
Love it!! Been there, done it on many of those. And sometimes, you HAVE TO laugh, or else, you will just bawl.
Ha! My kids were singing some song the other day "gonna break break ya break ya hart" Random. Also? When u have a kid who likes to take his dipe off and paint with poo? In his crib? Duct tape is the only answer. They make it in a wide array of colors.
Cute idea! And, hey ... it's okay! All of it!
I just started watching True Blood ... I love/hate it. :)
My son tells me I make the best cookies, they are the break and bakes. :D
Love all of them!
I really love your writing style. I bet duct tape will work just fine.. Cookies are cookies.. Swim lessons rock..
Enjoy your day..
Um, I actually did duct tape a diaper on one of my girls when they were small. It was the only way I could keep her diapers on! She was a nudist, that one.
I'm going over to vote right now.
Ahh..the wonders of duct tape...
Have a great Tuesday.

My hairdresser and I have an understanding, no talking for the first 20 minutes and a big tip for a long head massage! Also my kids don't even know that happy meals come with toys!
Somebody else watched (or at least saw the previews for) Holly's World! I don't even like that girl but I'd like to be her BFF. She doesn't even have to buy me boobs if she'd just pay to have the ones I already have lifted back up where they belong!!
Ugh... I always prefer to get my hair did in silence. And if I had children I would always throw out their happy meal toys, no doubt. I like this blog idea~!
Awww I love this! PS I wish someone gave
Me boobs for my birthday
ohhh i am so glad to see i am not the only person who has a deal with her hairdresser! when i get my hair done that is my quiet time
and mcd's toys have an understood shelf life in my house of three days and then they disappear
Just Happy Meal toys... I throw out more toys than that when he's not looking... sometimes I even do it when he's looking! He's learned to deal. And it's okay. ;-)
I love break and bake cookies.
Anyone that has a problem with them can, well... make me some cookies!
I voted! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who throws the toys away on the down-low...the kids never miss them anyway!
Haha did you watch Holly's World?? I want some boobs for my birthday too! lol
I love all your posts! They are great and so true! I voted for you too! Good Luck!
we put our son's diapers backwards when he learned how to undo them. made it a wee bitmore challenging for him then.. Heck I got boobs I need a butt to even it all out lol
I'm always throwing away Happy Meal toys! That sucks about the Blackberry :( I want some boobs!! Not a whole boob job a lift will be fine!! lol
I'm heading off to vote for you now, good luck mama!!
Every single one of those post-its was perfect ... thanks for sharing!!! And Happy PINT!
You know I voted for you! :)
I laugh when my child does things that are not always "appropriate" oh and the sitting in silence, the dentist does the same thing, how can you talk o them when they have their hands in your mouth, I would rather have the silence it dosen't come that often!
There's nothing better than a baby streaker. Makes me laugh every single time.
True Blood...oh Eric, please come bite me. I might even take a little sip of your blood if it means I can have those sexxxxxxxxxyyyyyyy dreams about you! ;)
My berry died, too.
Once, when The Boy was about 4, someone was freaking out about something (I think it was my drama queen sister) and The Boy looked at her and said, "Easy Liberace."
Not sure where he got it, but it was freaking hilarious!
i got busted this morning for throwing something out. Kate found it in the garbage! Doh!
I would LOVE to sit silently at the hairdresser...unfortunately this never seems to work out. She ALWAYS wants to chat!!!
LOL! Love the fact your 4yr old says that! I would laugh so hard every time! How could you keep a straight face? LOL!!!
Great notes today, I enjoyed reading them. I voted!
I love those It's Okay's. They are so the truth!
I have never seen this True Blood. Sounds like I need to. :)
I voted for you and am off to vote again!
I voted, love your post! It's not my birthday but I might be getting boobs for my anniversary! lol
I throw away the mcdonalds toys even when they are watching lol.
Milk ruined your Blackberry?! NOT COOL!
I voted! ;)
Oh man, I was just gettin my hair did yesterday! Only when I sit down in that chair, something takes over me and I confess all my sins!
Weird.
Why do hairdressers insist you keep talking? Your son wants a piece of you! So funny!
i have been known to break and bake a time or too...
you have to love every thing little ones say!
I love that section of Glamour, and I loved your take on it!
I'm going to admit I had to think about the whole 'break-n-bake' thing for longer than I should have. I nearly started out this comment by asking you for the recipe. And now I feel stupid. LMBO!
I NEVER talk to my hairdresser. haha! Aside from the 'how's your family' exchange and telling her what to do w/my hair, I don't say a WORD for the next hour. Either she thinks I'm a total bitch or she likes the silence as well. Who knows. :D
Phew, I feel so much better now that I know it's okay, ;D Going to vote for you!
LOL! Especially the duct tape part.
I love Mamma Mia but that is actually my least favorite song. I think it's because I don't care for Meryl Streep. I think that movie would've been much better without her.
My mom advised me to use cloth diapers on my 10 month old today and I asked if I can secure it with duct tape. I wasn't joking.
Hey, it's ok.
Sometimes, I really just DON'T want to talk to my hairdresser. Thanks for saying it, too haha.
Hahaha, LOVE it!! :D I can relate to sooo many of those! Just last night my 2 yr. old took off her diaper... and then wet the bed! Oh, I'm voting for you too- you so deserve it (I mean that in a good way). ;p
True Blood makes me feel like a total prude.
But I love it.
I would totally go for boobs for my b-day too! I used to have boobs...but my body after 2 babies is not the same :( Also, believe it or not, my 4 yr. old said "you wanna piece of me?!" to my mom the other day. haha We both cracked up, but I have NO IDEA where he even heard that. I will vote for ya! :)
What a great idea! I'll have to try it. Happy meal toys do build up very quickly don't they? Yeah, true blood! I love the mags at the hair salon - only time I get to read them.
I am lol about the MickeyD toys! They always end up magically in our garbage as well.
Hey, I just voted and you are in 2nd place I think...woohoo!
Id cry over milk ruining my Crackberry too...thats a travesty!
Poor blackberry. About every 6 months we weed through Hayden's stuff... it's about time for another cleaning.
would you believe that my parents had saved EVERY.FREAKING.HAPPY MEAL.TOY of my childhood?! and now, they're showing it to the little guy like it's in a museum...
Oh I like the spilled milk one, that's the best. I would cry too, mostly because mine is work-issue, so they'd probably put me back on an older model if it was ruined. Bleah! :)
Have an Extraordinary Day!

You find the most awesome stuff! This was a great post. I'm okay with all those things too. Just glad I don't have to give the duct tape a workout. (knock on wood)
I would flip out if something happend to my crackberry... I would. For sure. LOL
I just started watching True Blood this summer. Just finished season 1! And it does have some make you blush parts!
I totally love silence with the hairdresser. Down with talking! Just let me relax! It's why I seriously don't mind going to the dentist. You get to just LAY THERE.
True Blood is only thing that my husband will watch with me without putting up a fight. Wonder why that is? :o)
I LOVE True Blood!
I voted for you! Good luck!
I'm new to your blog, but I love it. It makes me laugh and I totally do a lot of these things. :) Great list!!!!
I love this post! I might have to steal to idea, if you don't mind =] My blog is still in the beginning stage and I'm finding it difficult to find my place. Thank you for following me =] it is muchly appreciated!
I was SO looking forward to getting my hair cut last Saturday and reading my book The Help which by the way is quite brilliant and making some blogging notes for my next post but instead I spent the entire time being talked at by my hairdresser! Great list and a great theme!
Can agree with the spilled milk....not on the PHONE!!!!
As for me, we enforce the idea that one must wear clothing but when the 3 yr old streaks down the hallway for his shower, its hard not to crack up. Which makes him streak more...
Love these little "It's Okay" posted notes..They are great, Shell!
I would cry ove milk in my BB too and I think kids are hilarious when they streak until age 5 lol
oh laughing so hard! I always throw out those McDonald toys when they aren't watching!
Boobs would be an awesome present! Actually I just will take a lift please!
from the dunking to the duct tape, these were hilarious.
You know I'm a firm believer in duct tape. And don't tell anybody but I'm always laughing at my children's expense.
I threw away a truckload of those silly toys a couple of weeks ago. It felt great.
It's more than ok Shell...it's hysterical!!
Why do hairdresser feel the need to "bartender talk" you to death? Don't they know it's our one hour out in silence?
I love my hairdresser because we can gossip, but I wish I could just sit there in silence and enjoy it.
I wish I got boobs for my birthday as well.
Did you watch Holly's World too? I want boobs!
I am such a Happy Meal Toy trasher! Those toys drive me crazy.
Love them!
So is it ok that I started watching Glee and now wish I was in Glee Club in High School?!? :)
Shell, you're winning!! I just vited again and you are 1% ahead of the next person. Wahoo!
I've said the phrase, "we should not be watching True Blood, it's so bad!" so many times that my 5-year-old told me tonight: "Mommy, don't watch any True Blood tonight. It's so bad."
And I once had my longest stint with the same hair dresser just because she didn't talk. She tried to be a mortician but couldn't handle the sad death part. She ended up being just a quiet salon employee. I really liked that. Plus my hair was to die for.
Get it? Cause she was a mortician. It's okay to crack yourself up.
So many times I've wanted to just sit there when getting my hair did, and it never happens. Just give my scalp a little massage, wash and trim and let me zone out. I really do love my hairdresser though.
Hey...here's an idea...I give you my boobs, you give me your waist...fair enough??
Oh My Goodness Shell! Those were great! I snorted at the *You want a piece of me?* one and felt your pain over the Blackberry (once I figured out that we were not discussing fruit)!
hahaha, wonderful! so true! especially the hairdressers ... I get so flustered sometimes because I don't want to talk, just sit and be quiet :-)
A silent hair dresser - yes, pretty please!!!
I would love to read a book - rude? Even if I promise to hold my head still?
that's fabulous post.
I always cry during the getting ready for the wedding scene with Donna and Sophie. For some reason, the Dancin' Queen scene always chokes me up as well.
I used to put my daughter's diapers on backwards and use diaper pins to fasten them, plus put her feetless jammies on backwards so she couldn't unzip them to get to her diaper. Madness!
Love it!! I just did the McD's toy thing tonight and now I DO NOT feel guilty. Thanks!
And those cookies are work, hello. You have to place them on the cookie sheet and get up from the recliner when the timer goes off and then use a spatula to remove them from said cookie sheet. Yeesh. LOL
It all sounds all okay to me. I have done the duct tape one myself.
LMAO at the boobs one
True Blood makes you blush? Awwww, that's sweet! I love that show.
haha, oh man- my 2 year old is saying "you want a piece of me?" all the time- it cracks me and my husband up every time!
Voting for you for Not mom of the year =)
We totally did the duct tape thing. As long as you just tape the diaper and not their skin, no abuse. So we took the diaper from the front and wrapped it around to the back so she couldn't get it off. Worked like a charm. But when it came time to change a diaper, we ended up ripping the diaper to get it off. Duct tape sticks really well.
Good luck.
one day you can get boobs. someday. before i did, i used those little cutlet things you put in your bra. they are sweaty in summer, but look good!
and I love True Blood, but it makes me blush too!
