Think less of you? NO!

I think more of you that it ever makes it back!

It sure wouldn't in my house!


I just think I would like to come visit you and have some ice cream right now!

I would never think less of you for any of this because I do most of them myself.

I also play Cash cow and Smoothie Moves on Webkins and many times hubby and I are sleeping in at 10 am. Oh, I love poptarts and Coke (which I tell my kids stunts growth but drink by the liter!)

Would you think less of me if I told you that I don't like to cook AT ALL! And I am addicted to Facebooks's Farmville!

Thank you for such a great thread Amy

That's it. I think we just ALL have to get together for an ice-cream-eating, webkinz (or facebook game)-playing pajama party! With lots of soda and ordered-in food!

Hello, my name is ~Books and I am addicted to ordering through Amazon, and I'm not really all that apologetic about it, either!

Popcorn, apples and cheese are a complete meal on pregnant, fussy baby or just because days. We sleep late and baths once a week is great for their skin Um I have a bag of chocolate chips in the freezer that I have to move around or there is nothing left for mom moments!!!! -Annie

I would love to have you visit! and if I had a job for your dh, I'd give it to him!

How about this...it's 4:47 p.m. and I'm on the COMPUTER and I haven't put in dinner for tonight and it's turkey...

Would you think any less of me if we had sandwiches and just called it "supper"?


Off to cook...something

Would you think less of me if you knew I just sent my husband the grocery list via e-mail and it included "something frozen for dinner besides hotdogs" It is hotdog night and we had them early on Saturday.

Would you think less of me if I told that I've been known to take a big spoonful of peanut butter and roll it around in a bag of chocolate chips?

Or that I sometimes stay up way too late watching inane TV shows on DVD from Net flix with dh? Latest that we finished - Prison Break.   

Fun thread.

This thread is truly humbling.

Up until now, I thought I was so creative, but now I realize what a novice I am. ROLLING the peanut butter spoon inside the bag of chips? Having my own designated box of ice cream? I'm simply unworthy as a snack sneaker.

I do listen to Murder She Wrote on Netflix on the laptop with headphones while I fold laundry when I really need to tune out the chaos and watch Lost with dh after the kiddos are in bed, but I've never even heard of Prison Break.

Of course, now I'm worried that people WILL think less of me--not because I'm sneaky or silly but because I'm not sneaky or silly enough. So much left to learn

Oh oh I have a non-food one...

Would you think less of me if I told you that when I showed my husband some crafts that the children and I had made yesterday that he had to ask which one was mine because they all looked like they were done by a 3 or 5 year old? Seriously ladies, I can't even draw a straight line!

Praise God for Charlotte's coloring pages!

Oh my, this is so me! I've taken to having my 11 yo do all the illustrating necessary for our homeschool because she has talent. Even my stick figures need help, lol. Glad I'm not the only one!

Just so you know, right now they are offering a free one month trial to Amazon Prime so you can get free two day shipping on a lot of stuff. Just cancel it before the month is up.
Not that I'm an amazon-addict or anything. I just had to order myself an... mp3 player... Think less of me now?

Would you think less of me if my husband had to teach me to use bowls and cups because I would drink from the pitcher, eat from the serving dish, etc...simply because I HATE washing dishes.
