Alright, my friends, I have doled out my share of honesty this week. I have given you more insight into my life/adoption journey, I have admitted to being a giant procrastinator, and yesterday I let you all see that I tend to be a bit insecure. That's about as transparent as I can be in 5 days' time.
So now it's your turn. Share your confessions with me. I have done this once before with "Mommy Confessions", but now it's just general stuff, whatever you want to confess. It can be AA-style ("Hi, my name is Katy and I'm a confess-aholic."), it can be serious ("I would wave my magic wand and make Roo a 'typical' kid in an instant if I could."), it can be funny ("I took my eyes off my 1-year-old yesterday for TWO SECONDS and found him eating toilet paper."), it can be... well, let's keep it to things that won't be held against you in a court of law, 'k?
And why should you share your confessions for
Here are the rules:
- Score 1 entry for each comment you leave with a confession
- Score 1 entry for sharing Diary of a Zookeeper on Facebook, Twitter, or other social sites (Leave a comment each time you share the blog--limit 1 time a day)
- Get 1 additional entry for becoming a follower of Diary of a Zookeeper (Leave a comment--if you're already a follower, you can leave a comment as well)
- Get 1 additional entry if you "like" Diary of a Zookeeper on Facebook (Leave a comment--again, you can also leave a comment if you already "like" us on Facebook) Posting on my wall would be appreciated but is not required. :-)
- And just for kicks, you can earn an additional entry for each $5 you contribute to the Mozambique Mission using the ChipIn link on the right. (Leave a comment for each $5--every comment will be 1 entry)
- The contest will end at 11:59 PM on Wednesday, May 3. I will use random.org to pick winners and post them on Thursday.

Awesome! I love to confess! Let's see (there's just so much to choose from:)...
Every few weeks in the summer, I announce that I'm going to cook something on the grill. Then, with great fanfare, I pretend I can't figure the dang thing out, all because I want my husband to be the one responsible for cooking sometimes.
Ooooo, that felt good. How many times can I do this?! :)
My name is Sue and I let my kids play outside without shoes... Even in the snow. And I let them iceskate on Frozen puddles in bare feet. They're boys and I've got to pick my battles... If my mom knew hehe
I love it! Tara, you can leave as many confessions as you want! Each one is an entry! :-)
CIC some days I leave my house a complete disaster and then right before I know my husband is going to be home I clean as fast as I can so that he doesn't know I didn't do anything all day! :) I'm sure he wouldn't care, but it's easier to pull the "do you know how busy I've been today" card if the house is picked up!
OH MY GOSH, Wren, I thought I was the only one who did that!!! OK, I have to stop commenting on these so I don't completely mess up random.org when it picks the winners! :-)
Liked on facebook! :)
I've been a reader for a few months, but I officially became a follower. :)
Such a great idea! Ok, hmmm... This is Brittany,I want another baby! We have four kids & everyone thinks we are crazy already, but I want more!!! I want my house filled, noisy and choatic with children everywhere. My husband is on the verge of a heartache trying to "help" (and I use that word loosely) raise the ones we have and he couldn't imagine having anymore. My mother in laws face turns into a look of death if I even joke about it. I WANT MORE CHILDREN! Man, that felt good...
Hi, my name is Erin, I'm already a follower here at the zoo!
Now, for my confession...
I have a very, very difficult time telling others no. My plate runs over, because I'm too over involved in things. Right now, I want to run and hide because too much is going on, but I really feel like I'll be letting someone down if I do. Then, when I feel this way, I feel guilty.
One day last week I was having a hard time getting the baby to take her nap. After the screaming and rocking, when she was finally asleep, I realized that I had completely forgotten to feed her. Oops.
I liked you on FB! :)
My guilty confession is that I hate putting clothes away after I wash them... so they usually just sit in the laundry basket and every morning, I dig thru to find something to wear! Hey, at least the clothes are clean!! lol
(((katy))) i love transparency in motherhood. yesterday i wanted to quit. the 7 yr old gave the 9 yr old a bloody nose, the 4 yr old bit (broke the skin) the 7 yr old. i yelled, screamed and then had a beer.
I followed you today
LOL I followed you with my husband's account! I'm a dork that way. I know nothing about computers....but that is not my confession. My confession is that today I sent my 9 year old to school sick knowing I will pick her up soon because 1. I hope she forgets she is puking and makes it through the day and 2. because I need to get some things done this morning and she would complicate things.
I shared you on facebook too...
And....I liked you too....
There have been a couple times in the last few months when I sent my 4 year old to preschool in the afternoon forgetting to feed him lunch. I felt horrible but luckily they do get a snack. I am hoping it is pregnancy brain and it will get better after I have this baby.
One more commment, My 6 yr old and 4 yr old are practically the same size so there are times when I take their clothes off at the end of the day and the other one wears it the next day. This saves on laundry and clean up.
Just became a fan on facebook. I might be a stalker actually!
I'm a FB fan!
my confession is i'm a total sugar addict- and i'm addicted to reality tv shows about overweight people trying to lose weight LOL
I confess that I was so excited when Nathan finally had an interest in tv so that I could have a few moments to get something done. In fact, I just turned on his favorite, Dave and the Giant Pickle, so that I could spend a few minutes on here!
Shared you on FB :)
Liked on FB :)
You may have more followers than you thought :) I read your blog, but haven't "fanned" it or commented. I think you are very brave and strong, though.
My confession...I don't remember/am too lazy to brush my daughter's hair every morning. I leave detangler and a brush in the car and brush it whenever we arrive anywhere. If we have no where to go, she looks a mess all day :( Terrible, I know. I do brush it after her shower...but that isn't everyday. Confession #2, I guess...
Shared you on Facebook. I forgot people from my church were wanting to know your where your blog was anyways so I'm glad you created a page.
Okay, I am a follower here and on FB. My confessions...
1) Peanut thinks that we only change out of our pajamas if we're leaving the house.
2) I want another daughter.
3. I hardly ever brush my kids' teeth and I threaten them with NOT being "allowed" to brush them if they're not being good.
I'm addicted to double stuffed oreos!! I can't get enough of them.
One more confession (since my DH won't see this, lol): When I drop my son off at Mother's day out instead of coming home and cleaning the house I'll straighten things up and then take a nap. Mommas gotta catch up on sleep sometime, right? :)
I shared your blog on facebook. :)
I'm not a morning person in fact I'm just the opposite. While other mom's have special PJ days we frequently stay in ours and getting dressed is a special occasion. If I ask the kids to get dressed they ask if we are going somewhere.
Our 5th child baby puts everything in her mouth so I let her chew on tissues.
I'm Lisa and I confess my husband does the cooking.
The house is chaotic, and I'm tired most the time, but I'd love to have more kids, even twins.
I just liked Diary of a Zoo Keeper on Facebook.
