I'm Guilty
Here are my crimes:
*Reading all the super-nice comments from yesterday about what I wonderful teacher I was when really, I was so strict that a lot of my students probably didn't like me very much. I might have made a difference in some of my students' lives, but I was far from perfect.
*Letting my roots get scary and then mocking the girl at the salon who asked "What do you want done to them?" when I called for an appointment to have my roots done.
*Recording two shows at once on the dvr that Hubs had no interest in watching, so that he had to go into the bedroom to watch tv instead of being able to watch on the "big tv." And then laughing at him when he threw the remote in disgust.
*Watching too much tv. Fall shows are back!
*Falling asleep at an hour that allows me to wake up feeling rested, but makes me feel like a preschooler when I tell someone just how early that is.
*Skipping the gym this week. Even though I just started going last week.
*Not paying the crazy amount for express shipping for my brother's wedding present, even though that means that it might not get there until they are on their honeymoon, instead of before the wedding.
*Getting annoyed with my oldest's kindergarten teacher. Especially because I tend to get up on my former-teacher soapbox and talk about how teachers deserve a chance and that we should cut them some slack. I'm still annoyed.
*Not writing the next part of my steamy story from my crazy early twenties. Oh, and not really thinking that it was that steamy until after reading your comments.
*Not feeling the slightest bit guilty about leaving my kids with my husband for the entire weekend so that I can go to Type A Mom.
*Not actually being a Type A Mom, but going to the conference anyway. Thinking the jeans and yoga pants I packed will probably give me away.
*Hoping that mil can't help Hubs out with the kids during my weekend away so that he can see what it's like to be me.
Completely guilty. Thinking I should be punished. Maybe there's a mom-prison somewhere. On a tropical island. With lots of naps. And drinks. And no laundry to do. And wi-fi.
Oh yes, send me there.
What have you done? Tell me why you deserve to go to thatisland escape mom-prison with me.

Thanks for stopping by. I am ready for Asheville if you can pry my arms off my little guy. Thank goodness the big guy will be there to hold on to.
Oh Shell, it's totally different when it's your own child. Try getting annoyed at your child's teacher when not only are you a teacher, but she is your co-worker... AWKWARD! :)
Have fun at Type A mom- is it this weekend?
I think that we are all guilty of things like this. Here's one from me....my house is a freaking MESS! And realize when I say a mess....I mean like a mess is piled in EVERY room in my house! Yet here I am...typing away on my computer.
I do the same thing with the DVR. Fox gets so mad at me. But I can't help NOT being able to catch up on a show that I recorded.
Have so much fun at Type A mom...your gonna be awesome!! Yoga pants and all:)
There are very few things here that actually make you guilty. Cut yourself some slack silly. Oh that's right, you are when you get to that prison :D
Wish I could be like you on the sleeping. More people should be like you about sleep.
My boys were arguing yet again yesterday over the stupid Wii, so I very dramatically unplugged everything and packed it in a box and told them I was going to sell it... although I have no intention on doing so. Nah, I guess that doesn't count 'cause I really don't have any guilt. ;)
8:30 is my preferred bedtime, but the new shows on TV kept me up until 10 last night. :/
I think you know most of my dirty little secrets! Can I go to Mom Jail with you? Pretty Please?
I think going to the TypeA Mom conference incognito is punishment enough. Have a blast!
I deserve to go with you. I told my 18-year-old that if he continued to surf porn in the middle of the afternoon and then went upstairs to take care of business one more time while I am aware of it, I would start having sex with his father in the living room during the time he might come down to fix his lunch for the next day. Yep, send me to mom-prison...
I LOVE the last one.
I am guilty of actually wanting to have more Open Houses at my school just so my husband could more often experience the joy of pick up, drop off, make dinner, bathe, pack lunches, lay out clothes for the five kids.
And one those nights I plan to return home and say, "Why are you so tired?"
I kill me.
I need to go to mom prison too.
(Above commenter cracked me the hell up!!)
Oh wait there is aplace like that for real?? See I am so out of the loop dagnabbit btw what exactly is a Type A mom?? Although if your jeans and yoga pants keep you from being one I am fairly sure my PJs would stop me as well lol
Your sentence is the Type A Mom conference. Enjoy it! ;-)
I'm so guilty of so much, that I could hijack your blog.
Oh girl you don't want to see my list of things I am guilty of! And love the one about hoping your MIL can't help out your hubby. I secretly wish that all the time or that the boys would act the way they do when I am home; wild, out of control and exhausting! Have fun at the conference!

I also tend to go to bed ridiculously early - emabarrassingly early (by 9pm).
I get up early though (most mornings) at like 5:45am so I figure that is my excuse.
Okay, so Mom Prison sounds divine. What do I have to do to get thrown in with you?
My most recent crime? Throwing myself the biggest, bloggin pity party ever on my post yesterday. Wow, I knew I needed to vent, but going back now and reading it just sounds pathetic. Guilty!
TOO funny! those crimes are crimes performed by so many women on a daily basis! haha.
My most recent crime?
Blogging yesterday about what a crappy day I was having and acting like a big 'ol baby about it!
Ahh, I so wish I could go to Type-A Mom with you!! Have a blast- and agreed, cut yourself some slack girl!
My list of crimes is anything but short! I am more than willing to add a few more if it means I can go to that prison!
Have fun at the conference!
I actually did the same thing with the DVR the other night......
You pretty much sound pretty normal to me...don't be so hard on yourself.
I am soooooooooo excited for TV to be back.
Mom-Prison? Um yeah. Not a mom.
Hells Kitchen was off the chain last night. Looking forward to the Office tonight
Man, I wish I was a mom so I could go to that prison - I love tropical drinks and Wi-Fi!
Um I'd like to go to that prison too! And fall TV totally has us wacked at home.... but I'm IN HEAVEN!
Fall TV has been amazing this week. I LOVE new shows. Also, I wish I was goignt o that conference. Or that I was a Type A mom. Actually, just that I was a mom. This week? I ma gulity of cursing at people in my head. A LOT.
Don't be so hard on yourself! Most of your offenses are ones I commit daily!
I was totally guilty for tying up the DVR on the boyfriend when we first got it. The best part was that I was at work while the shows were taping, so he was stuck home alone with no tv haha.
At least your crimes all seem to be nothing too serious. No jail time yet.
YES! Yes, I need a life sentence at your Mom prison!
Have fun this weekend!
How's them roots today? I was in recently...mine are only hilites, but dayum, it sucks to pay for the baby blond i used to have for free. Not gonna lie, I love when Mr. Kiss has to go somewhere else to watch T.V. Our house has 3 dvr boxes [obsessed much?] and some days 2 of them are 'taken.' He'll always win in ManLand, so there's that. :
I want that same punishment!
I go on strike every few months so my hubby realizes everything I do. I enjoy watching him run out of clean clothes and eat ramen noodles for dinner and not have anything to drink. I don't feel guilty for doing it either!
you deserve a break dont feel guilty enjoy :)
Ha! I've always thought the loony bin wouldn't be such a bad place, but I was wrong.
I want your Mom's Prison.
Will you be having a giveaway?
hee hee
I confess, I'm not a Type A anything but I wish I were going!
Also, I have caught myself several times mulling over the age old question of if we can leave our 1 yr old asleep in our hotel room to take a dip in the hottub this weekend in the mountains. Yep, guilty.
Have fun at Type A!!
Have a great time on Type A!
Just so you know, you have one year after a wedding to send a gift. Good thing you didn't pay the extra.
Have so much fun at Type A and say hello to your roommate, my neighbor, for me.
Let's see, I am guilty of so many things, but for today, I'll say, I am guilty of ignoring my life as I sit on this computer and write and write and write.
I was mom guilty for sitting on the computer and watching my tv shows on my DVR while my daughter was doing her homework. It should have only taken her 30 minutes to to read her book and it took her 90 minutes.
Have fun at your Type A conference, you might start a trend with your yoga pants!
Yeah, watching waaaayyy too much TV here, too!
And hurry up with the rest of that steamy story, would ya?!
Can I be jealous that you're going to Type A Mom? #doubletrouble
Do NOT feel guilty at all about Type A! You are going to have the best time! I'm going on a girls weekend tomorrow w/my friend from high school and I don't feel bad about it at all. We deserve some adult time!
No shame in not picking that express shipping! That can be so EXPENSIVE. Plus technically you have a whole year to get him a gift, right? ;)
can we say dealing with a sick kid for the past two weeks, no make that 9 months of antibiotics and ear infections only to end it with tubes and adnoids removed. i need that island vaca pronto!
I think my MIL was pulling into our driveway the moment my plane took off for BlogHer. And really? Hubs WON'T know what it's like, b/c dads think non-stop TV and McDonalds for every meal is just fine! lol
If that is prison send me now! I recorded a whole boat load of shows last night. Tonight it is Grey's and Private Practice. I made cookies instead of exercising. My garbage bins are still sitting at the curb. Those are my minor offenses. :p
I'd love to go to mom prison for refusing to cook dinner when I know I won't be home to eat it. Those kids can fend for themselves.
What do I feel guilty about?
I just woke up from a nap...and I loved it. I never take naps. I don't know what got into me.
My kids are awake upstairs and I seriously want to wait until Husband gets home from work to bring them downstairs...he hasn't left work yet.
I wasn't able to make it to my Aunt's funeral today b/c of my leg and I really want to be with my family.
I admitted to my physical therapist that my exercises are a lot easier after a glass of wine and then joked about showing up schnockered for my morning appointments...only to have her tell me that she never takes a freaking aspirin much less drinks!
I still think you're pretty awesome though. BTW...speaking of giving teachers a chance...have you watched Oprah this week about that education movie? I'd love to see it...wanna go? LOL
I think you should skip Type A and come visit me instead... we can be Type B together LOL
You are too funny and I think I need to be sent to "mom Prison" too for sitting here in my PJ's at 9.41am, blog-reading while my toddler watches MORE TV. I am the WORST.
He should be in preschool but he had a fever last night so I let him stay home. To watch TV. that is soooo much better for him. :(
Lock me up I tellya.
I love your blog. How have I not been living here? This week my biggest crime was probably plotting ways to sic the IRS on my hubs ex-wife. But she deserves it so I don't know if that counts.
Oh my dear friend I love the taping two shows at once crime...lol... Have fun at type a conference....
Please send me there too.!
I just wanna go with you cause I dont think I will ever get a vacation ever again. Does that make me qualify? No? Okay...umm how about I watch WAAAAAYYY too much TV? Does that count?
I deserve mom jail too...for reasons that uh...can't be listed here....and you can't prove *sticks out tongue* Or...well...maybe you can...damn.
I laughed out loud at you skipping the gym your second week into going. That's just priceless....I'm going to giggle all the way to the kitchen about that one.
you great Shell!! I am sure I deserve some kind oF punishment!!
wtll be back for my offenses!
Have so much fun at the conference girl! Jealous I'm not going.
I'll be joining you on that island. Too many offenses to name LOL
Enjoy the conference Shell!! You will have fun. Can't wait to hear all about it.
...remember the post I wrote for your BFF...yep, Mommy Guilt! and we all experience it one way or another.
I was nodding my head going "yup, me too" to almost all of those!
Also, I gave you an award on my blog www.firstcametwins.com. It will be posting up in the morning! :)
I'm totally guilty of watching too much tv too.
I'm pretty sure mom prison let's you go to bed at any time you want.
Guilty as charged!!! Please send me to mom prison, it sounds heavenly!
I guess I was lucky, in a sense, because I had an accident that put me in the hospital for a month and a half when my children were very small. My husband had to take over the children and getting them off to the babysitter etc. He came in particularly exhausted, one morning, and actually had the nerve to ask me, "Do you have any idea what it's like to get a two-year-old ready for the babysitter in the morning?" I would have answered him, but I was too busy LMAO.
Ha! Love your list---we might end up in a cell together--bc I am guilty of many of the same things. DVR---thursday night is a killer for us- everything is on Thursday. And I insisted that I get to watch my show- on the big tv--hubs had to go down and sit on an exercise ball to watch his show. The teacher stuff---yes, yes, and yes.... and oh right- I am guilty for barely talking with my hubby this week and today wanting to spend it entirely to myself.
Hope you have/had fun at the conference. I know what you mean about hoping Dad doesn't have too easy of a time when you're gone--I've been there :)
I have also SO been there on the DVR thing, but usually, I lose!
I'll send you a nail file when you're in prison...
I LOVE THIS!
Somehow, your personality came out so wonderfully with this post.
So liked it...thank you.
and I'm there on the island with you...so there.
Doesn't Fall TV make you wanna die in the best way possible?
If I hadn't lost two of my favorites on USA (Psych and Covert Affairs), it would be perfect.
What is your Autumn lineup?
The strictest teachers were always my favorite, and I wasn't even a 'teacher's pet'... I must be a weirdo!
