Tell Us Your Guiltiest Mom Confession

True Mom Confession's Romi: I confess -- I'm exhausted.
I just got thrown my daughter's volleyball game schedule which conflicts with my son's baseball schedule for 95% of the games - not to mention my own work schedule and life in general. And oh, did I mention it's spring break and we have NO PLANS yet?? Times like this leave me stumped and wondering how the hell I'm going to pull off the magic act of mothering and I'll go to that deep dark place of, "hmmmm. Maybe I'll just step out and let someone else deal with this."
I've taken liberties to get a moment of rest and fabricated some pretty elaborate plots in my head when thinking about how to get out of one too many commitments. Last week, hanging by a harried thread, I even found myself stealing a few extra hours to nap on a hospital bed after a trip to the emergency room and gladly accepting a dreamy dose of strong pain medication (all was fine - I just had a nasty sinus infection I was sure was life-threatening). But my friend and fellow mommy warrior Stephanie Elliot had the best "Calgon take me away!" confessions yet - one that many moms have given a resounding, "me too" to on the confessional:
"Sometimes I think about doing something illegal enough to land me in a minimum security prison for just six months so I can have a nice break from it all."

Ok, I’ve been to jail, for 6 hours, not 6 months,and trust me, that’s not where you want to go!! I used to pick up extra shifts and the retiremnt home I worked at, not really to stay away from my son, mostly my hubby!!
Well, I would like it to be a nice jail, like one where we could all hang out and watch Oprah on couches and get a nice meal every night, and maybe have happy hour, so maybe my idea of a minimum security prison is more like a Embassy Suites! Ha!
i had a toothache that lasted for like 3 days….it was horrible. well on the last day it wasn’t so bad, but i said it was and bought myself a 3 hour nap, while my hubby played with the kids outside. it was GREAT! i feel bad about lying, but i was at my witts end!







I have a wonderful 5 month old and he loves to sleep, however he sleeps 6-6 and I would love to sleep until 10 just once… I feel so guilty bc I know there are soo many moms out there who have babies that wake up all the time. Either way I work at a hotel and I am allowed to stay over whenever I want. Sometimes I find myself wishing the weather is so bad that I cant make it home so then I have to stay over and get to sleep for as long as I want!!… or at least until my husband tells me he is at wits end and insists that I come home and help! Either way I dream of a day that I can sleep in until my internal clock tells me its time to wake up!
