Never say never. Or so the adage goes. Last night I was thinking about some things I’ve done that I thought and/or said I’d never do….
Never would I…..
Allow my young child to watch TV. A lie! I’m so grateful for Nick Jr. I don’t know what to do. Yes, we play. We read. We go outside. And we watch age appropriate TV. Two thumbs up for children’s television!
Pay a bill late. Sometimes? We were short. Most often? I forgot.
Eat beef again. Those two hamburgers I ate last year were absolutely marvelous! I have no immediate plans to consume another, but I definitely won’t rule out the occasional foray into beef consumption.
Be all over the place. My parents are almost crazed with privacy issues. And for a long time, so was I. Yet here I am – blogging and facebooking in a not-so-anonymous medium. Eh.
Go to sleep with dishes in the sink. They’ll be there in the morning – I need my rest.
Bargain with God. I foolishly thought that only people who did really “bad stuff” ever approached the throne with “if you….then I’ll…”
Live in the South. Y’all already know how this turned out. 
Fight over a man. Oh wait, I mean that one. Just can’t see it happening.
Anybody else care to share? I’m sleepy….
- accept/use gov’t assistance; we never had this growing up, but last year so much happened with the econ and in my life…this still bothers me
- overly emotional mother; I’m a new mother and when I was preggo, I would read stories/comments from mothers that cried over what I thought I wouldn’t give a 2nd thought to…some things really made me bawl even though I knew everything would be okay
loc my hair – I love my fro, but the more I have to detangle and style, makes me lean more toward thinking about loc’ing
“be all over the place” – I have privacy issues too. I don’t have even have a facebook acct (though my granny does, ha!) But, I think this is a never I will stick with
Ditto #1! I put Lovegirl on CHIPS when I lost my job and just felt awful about it, but am glad I did and would do it again in a heartbeat. Don’t let doing what you have to do to take care of your family make you feel badly.
I never thought I would
- stop perming hair and go natural
- wait until 32 to have a child
- succumb to peer pressure to join facebook
I could’ve included all of those on my list as well
Well, I was 31 when I had Lovegirl, but turned 32 a month later – close enough!
feed my children Crack Donalds
I know, right? I had such loft ideas about childrearing. Until I had one!
