confessions from crazymama...random thoughts. and other delightful or not delightful tidbits of information you never knew you wanted to know.
-i'm a hugger. i hug friends when i see them or meet new bloggers. i never considered myself a hugger. but totally am.
-i'm not a mouth kisser unless you're my lover. everyone else gets cheek kisses. or even pseudo cheek kisses. where you get close, and make the sound but no contact. my whole family does those.
-i turn on my playlist for my own enjoyment all the time. if I'm cleaning or vegging, i want music on, my playlist is just convenient.and I DO sing and Dance along whenever the mood strikes.
-i go back and read my own posts. and am often surprised at the things i wrote. i forget that fast. and I'm always totally entertained. sad huh? i am entertained by my own writing. what does that say about me?
-i battle depression daily. and have for way too long. all the way back in elementary school. what is that about? and it's not just about making the choice to not be depressed. NO ONE CHOOSES THAT!
-i'm often impressed with people that have kids. any number.
-i thought 1 kid was hard. 2 was also. 3 slowed me down a little but not enough that my kids didn't think the mall was home. 4 kicked my butt(but Joy is crazy, she kicks everyone's butt). by #5 I stopped caring as much. and six?? well that's been a nightmare since the beginning. would i add to the chaos? fo' shizzle! there is just something about a new baby of my own . and all the love to be had. and really the shopping available. it beckons.
-my memory sucks. now. i'm not sure why, but i miss it. i had the best memory for everything. phone #'s, names, directions, whatever. now it's something i TOTALLY lack.
-i once considered getting a doll, and buying it clothes to dress it in, to hold, and enjoy, but not have the midnight feedings. and maintenance. something about that sounded good to me. oh and the baby not growing up sounds good too.
-i love babies but only my own. i am not into holding other peoples babies since I've had my own kids. before that. i'd hold babies for hours. it isn't the same anymore.
-i finished reading P.S. i love you today. it was pretty good. totally different than the movie. why do they do that? it kinda bugged. but was still ok anyway.
-Peyton has been hogging my computer. playing Lord of the Rings online. HOGGING IT! i haven't gotten a turn all day. he's totally bitter about the broken arm. poor kid. and i'm bitter about my loss of computer time.
-if i find out someone i know or totally don't know has Cancer, or some other disease, i google it. and read up on it. i have no idea why. BUT I DO IT!
-i am not super mom.
-my counters were cleaned off this afternoon. IT'S A MIRACLE.
-i almost never eat breakfast. so i eat lunch, and dinner, and then sometimes if I'm hungry, i eat late at night.
-i don't eat breakfast because, i have to take my thyroid replacement an hour before eating. by the time i wait an hour. i'm not hungry, or have moved on to my beverage of choice. why eat when i can drink 52 oz, of the sweet sweet nectar. Dr.Pepper. who needs food?
-i despise false complimenters, liars, fair weather friends and paying full price.
-i love my family,blogging,and a bargain in that order.
-qualities i appreciate in a person? tact, honesty, non judgmental, empathetic, and realistic views. and people that admit they are wrong, and apologize sincerely.
- i resent harsh judgments about me, any form of manipulation and guilt trips.
-i think toenails are gross. but i LOVE zits and ingrown hairs.
-i love that everyone can look at something and say ''that is soooooo Julie/crazymama"or that is totally you! who knew how easy it was to spot my style?? it's fab!
-i turn 31 in 7 days.
-i'm getting/have been tired of this background , for a long while, but haven't had the gumption to change it. now i don't have the computer time. damn it!
-if i haven't commented lately on your blog, it isn't because i don't want to. it's because i haven't had time. bummer fo' Sho'!
and this concludes this episode of confessions from crazymama. I hope you enjoyed the random thoughts. and other delightful or not delightful tidbits of information you never knew you wanted to know.
pictures are coming soon, between preschool, and swim lessons.Pictures of the recital, my moon dust sparkle lotion (thanks Piper!), my glam purse pal ,my bunko table, and the casting of Peyton's broken arm. and whatever else comes up.

♡ I love babies too. Then they start getting into stuff and that's when all hell breaks loose! LOVE the BABY STAGE!!!
I used to love holding other people's babies too. But now that I have my own I'm a little stand offish I guess because I don't like to share mine and I figure other people probably don't either! Except w/close friends that's different. But not really friends like in the ward that just want to hold you new baby I have a REALLY HARD time with that!
I just turned 31 too... So what do you think? Are you okay with it? Seemed like just another day to me...
I love your confessions!!! Can't wait for your next installment! :)
Have a GREAT week!!!
Julie i love LOVE your honesty and randomness. really you make me laugh and think and just feel good! thanks for sharing your life with ME (i know it's not JUST me but let's pretend it is)!
your simply the coolest!!
(i am digging the doll idea...lol)
I could have written this, Julie. Well, except for the 6 kids part. I used to be known for remembering things, "Oh, just tell Kelly, she'll remember it for you!" Now, I can barely remember my kid's names or if I put on underwear. Just ask my kid's Orthodontist-I seem to forget that appointment ALL.THE.TIME.
Loved it! It is always so fun to learn random things about people. You are totally awesome!
Oh, my twin from another mother, we have so much in common. But minus our 6.5 year difference.
You rock.
Do you want me to whip you up a new background?
email me
You are super-FABULOSO!!
I loved reading all these!
To quote Shrek..."You are like an onion. You have many layers!"
I LURRRRRRVE your random, rad confessions.
I read my old posts too, but because it's something in my life that i am completely OCD about. I read them to fix mistakes and change words I don't like. Its sad really.
Hey Jules-
Love the random post, made me laugh! The newborn/infant stage is my all time favorite. I eat it up! I could be a NICU nurse that sits and holds those sweet babies all day. As for the zits and ingrown hairs, not in my "faves" list,sorry.
From what I read, you sound simply amazing!
Have a glorious Monday too!
Great post! Don't worry I am entertained by my own post on a regualr basis too! It makes us cool :)! I am emailing you about maybe doing lunch before the kiddos get out of school so watch for it!
I love your confessions. I have grown into a hugger through the years. My family was never much of a hugging family. AND I randomly do kiss my kids on the mouth. It is so innocent and cute!
My confession: I stare at my calendar every day, sometimes for over an hour, and I get major anxiety over everything I have to do. Psycho, I know.
I'm amazed at how many of these things I said "me too" to!! Looks like we'd be good friends if we just lived a little closer!!
Good list! I think each time we're pregnant, the kiddies suck a little more of our brain power. Really.
I am with you on the depression. It's up there on the "sucking" list with cancer and dimentia...
As I was reading those I was totally agreeing with many! That's the best part about blogging--you realize other people deal with the same things & feel the same way and that you aren't alone!
Man! We could soooo be Sisters!!!
Julie, I also love babies, but you already know that since I have had 7. My baby is only 6 months old and I already crave an infant.I always ;tell Chase that my heaven will be me with a thousand babies.Having a baby around keeps me sane, Ifeel like when I have one baby that completly loves me and adores me I can handle all of the other stuff that the older kids are doing that bug me.Yes it is a lot more work but I have the energy. I also don't like babies that arent my own. Chasse always tells people that I hate kids but we have 7.Thats not completly true but not completly wrong.This ;is the longest comment I have ever left, you can tell that it is a subject I like to talk about.
Julie love this post! It is your honesty that makes me smile. We have much in common! Very much actually. I too, have got a mind that doesn't remember all of the time. For instance, our lunch last week. I was afraid I had missed it! Janie calmed that fear after I got her e-mail. I too love babies. I don't think I will ever get over the fact that I would love more. I was warned after the first baby not to have others. Then again warned after the second, third, and after the fourth baby they flat out told me my chances of living were very small if I had #5. That is what was the deciding factor. Heavenly Father does send messages, even if it isn't what we want to hear. K-enough out of me this afternoon! Happy Monday! :)
Happy early Birthday!!
I always listen to my play list...It's so much fun...I think your play list gets listened to in our house aswell.
I pretty much drink Diet Dr. Pepper for breakfast aswell. I need the carbination and the caffine!!
Anyway I love your randomness!!
I am new to this crazy wild blogoshpere here. Inreading a blog from my cousin sherry, and a friend in our ward,Cara, I found your blog..
OMG~ I love how say it like it is! A woman after my own heart. You'd be surprised how many times I get a nervous laugh from someone then a "I just love how frank you are"
(happened 2 last week)
anyhow, crazymamma keep it up, I'm loving it!
Great post! Thanks for the compliments on my blog! You always make me feel so good.
I love your random thoughts! I wish you did not have to battle depression. I consider anyone with 6 well fed and dressed kids a super mom! As for babies I love mine too and hate to think of it being over. I have had to remind myself do I miss my babies being little and never want that to end (and it has too) or do I really want another person to do it again with. The answer for me is likely I have my hands full and will feel sad whenever they grow up. If I had 5 kids or even more I would always be sad, kwim.
Breakfast I never skip breakfast or I get too hungry and overeat all day :) LOL!
My soul mate! I love ingrowns and zits. I drink my breakfast. Because of my thyroid meds. Okay, because I can. I always pull up my music! Depression has always been my struggle too. We can overcome!
I do not like to hold other people's babies now either!!! Depression soooo sucks to battle.
And SERIOUSLY.. I cannot believe how alike we are. 3 kids for me was just fine. The twins KICKED MY BUTT! I don't think I will ever be the same. They are fun and wonderful, but have sent me over the edge!!
I totally agree, I like people who are "real" and I listen to my own playist from time to time too!!
I thought you wrote "pictures of the rectal" and not "recital" and thought, dear God, she's going to show us pictures of her butt???
I love reading your blog!
