Finish this sentence

I promise I am a good mom but. . .

I have two.

I promise I am a good mom but I hate children's board games. I seriously want to maim the loser who thought up Candlyland.

I promise I am a good mom but I avoid bring up DS's birth siblings when he is talking about his "brothers" (a series of pretend friends). He knows about his birthmom and biological father but I can't get the guts up to tell him he has "brothers" because I know he wants one so bad.

but sometimes I do the "expedient" thing. Like today when he dropped a three dollar fresh fruit pop in the dirt and I bought another one. Way to teach him values mom!

I promise I am a good mom, but sometimes when I am on Facebook, I can hear the boys ask where I am. Tony will say, "Mommy's working" (he knows I am on FB!) and I just go with it.

I am a good mom but I wish baby A wouldn't say "whats that" 500 times a day.
I am a good mom but I sometimes hide in a dark corner of the kitchen so kids can't see me eat cookies,ice cream, cake etc.

Nevada Jen- I hate kids board games too!!

Even though...I once gave dd ice cream for breakfast (hey, she asked nicely!).

Even though....I heard her repeat a very bad swear I have created for boston drivers when she spilled juice in the car and I was "proud" because it was five syllables.

Fellow board game hater here! Can't wait to teach dd blackjack and poker!

I promise I am a good mom but....a little dog food never hurt anyone!

I promise I am a good mom but...sometimes frozen blueberry waffles count as a fruit.

Noooooooo....girl that is SERIOUSLY messed up.....

I won't even LOOK at E if he's awake before 7 (when sesame street starts) and just today I lobbed a chocolate chip cookie into his crib to buy an extra ten minutes after his nap!

What? I had stuff to do!!!! (I think I was playing on the computer!)

I promise I'm a good mom even though I...

Forgot not once, not twice but THREE times last year to pick up my dd from school after band practice.

Cuss like a sailor, especially when playing Mario Kart. (guess that's 2 things, cuz moms aren't supposed to like Mario Kart much less play it)

HATE nature and all reptile/rodent creatures therein and will not allow my boys who LOVE said creatures to have them as pets.

At times I turn off my ear processor to avoid listening to various annoying things my children are doing.
