With me I would say that when it is just Dh and I talking I cuss like a sailor if something gets me upset! blush.gif My grandpa was a hardhat diver for the navy so I get it honestly~ sad.gif ~ I would NEVER do it around Tay or any child and most of my "friends" would be shocked but here and now I am coming out of the closet-- Somebody wash my mouth out!!!!! unsure.gif emlaugh.gif blush.gif

moped replied: I am a smoker...................no, not in the house

kayla's mama replied: An occassional smoker. Not in the house and not anywhere near Kayla. Only when she is sleeping!!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: idontknow.gif Maybe that I've experimented with my share of drugs in the past. Or that I have a BA in Art and was a fairly good painter at one time. Or that I didn't have my first kiss until I was nineteen. Or that I didn't get my period until I was seventeen. There's a lot! Or how about the fact that I love rap music, think I'm a pretty good dancer, and I live for MTV...and I'm thirty! lol........... rolling_smile.gif

JessC replied: That I smoke... for sure, I hide it from everyone because im not sure how they would act. sleep.gif

Boys r us replied: Hmmm I don't have many secrets...I used to date a surgeon at one of our local hospitals and after we broke up I remained friends with some of his doctor friends. One night I was out with several of them and I mentioned how I always wanted to be a doctor. Well one of them told me to meet him at the hospital at 6am the next morning. I said okay..met him there and he threw me some scrubs and we worked the ER together! That's probably THE CRAZIEST thing I've ever done..pretending to be a dr in the freaking ER! blush.gif

boobies4virtue replied: I've done my share of drug experimentation in my earlier days. Also, I smoke on occassion at work.

gr33n3y3z replied: I got kicked out of 6th grade and had to go to night school
bc I got into to many fights I guess they thought it would scare me stright to go to night school with the big bad high school kids
Well I knew them ...... they were my sisters friends. blush.gif

booey2 replied: I have a BA majoring in Religous Studies but the folks at work think I must have had some computer training cus I work on one all day and put the new system in here and trained everyone else. huh.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied: I let my kids eat ceral and pop tarts at least 5days a week.. sad.gif

I have a filthy potty mouth...

I can never get my utilities bills paid before the shut off notice..
I may have the check in my purse...but I some how forget to mail it or somethign?? I am a quack and DH has threatned to divorce me, if our electric is ever turned off again...yup I said again.. When Tanner was a baby..they came and turned off our electric..the bad part was that I had a stamped and addressed envelope in my purse for that bill....DH was growl.gif growl.gif

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I love to go skinny dipping! blush.gif

mckayleesmom replied:
We are sooo there with the utility thing....we always forget. One time they shut it off when Mckaylee was about 6 months....and we couldn't get it on for 2 days...It was hillarious...we had the most fun though. We had candles and me and dh talked and talked forever with not technical interuptions.

Jamielou replied:
Same here i dont all the time but never in the house around my kids..... ohmy.gif

for some reason i feel real awkward around anybody else doing it so i only smoke at home and mostly at night very weird wink.gif

mckayleesmom replied: I have never done a drug in my life....not even pot. I do drink sometimes....sometimes I pour too much hard liquor in my drinks too...lol..I Usually sit indian style in my computer chair to type. I also swear like a sailor...but not in front of my younguns. I like candy more then most kids blush.gif

luvbug00 replied:


emlaugh.gif Us too!!

Umm. I dont' know....

I never went to school really. I skipped almost every day. did 11th grade 2 times and never passed algebra.

I've been engaged 2 times.

I have well over 40 dance trophies and was state chapion along time ago.

my biggest secret of them all is... I kinda planned my pregnancy.sorta kinda. blush.gif

mom21kid2dogs replied:
LOL! You sound just like my best friend, Mel! thumb.gif She's had utilities turned off more than once because she never remembers to pay the bill. She has the cash, just doesn't remember to pay. When the electric goes off she always calls me to see if it's an outage or if they shut off her utilities again!! blush.gif

mom21kid2dogs replied: It's not too juicy (I don't tell the good stuff blush.gif tongue.gif ) but it is curious. I memorize most music within 3-4 hearings yet I cannot learn any math facts beyond my 5's. So much for that music/math link, eh! laugh.gif Maybe I'm a musical savant!! rolleyes.gif

3xsthefun replied: I smoke, not in the house.

I stole my parents truck when I was about 16 with some ex friends, I ended up getting hit by a car the same day because we was running across a busy two lane road. The cops ended up catching us later on that evening and I had go hospital make sure I didn't have anything wrong with me. I was really lucky I was not killed that day.

I didn't graduate from high school. I want get my GED, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I have experimented with only one kind of drug.

I have a bad temper on me sometimes.

I cuss to much.

MissyKay2005 replied: Used way to many Drugs in past..up till I year and a half ago at that..I quite smoking then too. Also I have a very very high "um, you know what" drive biggrin.gif My husband has a hard time keeping up with me unsure.gif

moped replied: I would also like to add a few things:

Never done any type of drug.

Was horrible in school - just barely graduated

Listen to Country music full time

Swear like a trucker



punkeemunkee'smom replied: rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif You guys crack me up!!! rolling_smile.gif Ok I have more than one! That da*m utility bill thing! Gotta pay over the phone-never been cut off but have come close! Never not had the funds just some major brain fart! blush.gif I also smoke every once in a while-mostly late at night if it is just dh and I awake we sit on the porch and relax and talk-it's nice in a cotton mouth stinky sort of way! rolling_smile.gif J/K! smile.gif I have a shopping addiction that is realy not a secret anymore~ran out of room to hide stuff! blush.gif Glad I am not alone in my effort to deceive the public about my behavior!!!!LOLLOL!!! rolling_smile.gif I would NEVER swear like I do in private around people I don't know or kids-as a matter of fact I have asked people to watch their mouths around my daughter but man I sound waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy worse than Dh ever does when I am ticked about something! It is those da*m relaxing cigs!!! rolling_smile.gif blink.gif rolling_smile.gif

mammag replied: The only thing I can think of is that I have an internal nerd. blush.gif I once read Homer's Illiad just because I wanted to try and read something tough. I have other nerd qualities as well that I try hard to hide from the public. laugh.gif

moped replied:
I have a huge shopping addiction - if you guys tell him I am not gonna be your freinds anymore - LOLOL

Jamielou replied:
your pregnancy with Mya was planned?

I would also like to add that i cuss like a sailor too.

The F-word is one of my favorites rolling_smile.gif

coasterqueen replied:
That's me! rolling_smile.gif

Also, not that I'm proud of any of this but I swear something awful and slip up sometime around the kids; I have an extremely bad temper and very short fuse which I hate especially around my children; I've done a few types of drugs in my past; Lots of alcohol in my past; I cheated on EVERY boyfriend I've ever had up until Dh blush.gif ; I wanna smoke really bad but quit for my kids; I'm a credit card addict which has put us in financial problems for YEARS sad.gif; I really could have achieved better in school but I felt like rebeling instead; I dated a 30 year old when I was 16 blush.gif . Oh I could go on for years here. sleep.gif

Jamielou replied: Karen, I like your new siggy and i also call delaney my little ladybug and laneybug... tongue.gif

Jamielou replied: Oh yeah i would like to add that i have just recently been put on anxiety meds. i dont tell many people that wink.gif

A&A'smommy replied: I'm addicted to shopping I picked out dhs new clothes the other day and dressed him up like a preppy boy instead of the nerd he is and he looked SOOO HOTT!!! blush.gif

But other than that I'm a goody goody lol I don't curse (except for the occasional slip up) I don't smoke (Its VERY hard though).. I have an occasional drink every once in a while.

Oh yeah I suck at math I can barely do 5th grade math BUT I graduatied a year early.. I did okay in math then. blush.gif blush.gif

coasterqueen replied:
Thanks. wub.gif I don't really call Megan my ladybug anymore. I've been calling her pooka or pookie. I don't know why I changed but I did. rolleyes.gif tongue.gif

3_call_me_mama replied: I've never tried any drug or even smoked a single cigarette. I dated a guy who was 34 when I was 18 (barely 18) actually was very interested in him when i was 16 but knew that was a bIG NO NO ! I swear terrible (sometimes slip in front of my kids) I am addicted to shopping adnspending.. hugh financial messes followed:(

3_call_me_mama replied: Oh yeah, the utilities.. never pay them on time:( DH actually thinks that the bills are supposed to be yellow laugh.gif rolling_smile.gif Because we get a yellow slip from the light company every month.

KingMom replied: I'm a penny pencher and like to save, hate shopping enen for clothes (but loved it as a teenager, once I put on some weight, I began to hate going). Won't throw away or donate clothes that I can't even wear anymore because of hopes that I will one day fit into them (yeah right).

My husband is very domestic and does almost all the cleaning and cooking in house, even keeps Colin every 4 out of 8 days. He's the best wink.gif Not that I mind cooking or cleaning but he always has more time than me (go figure) and he is a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleaning.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Oh I forgot one..

I am a worry wart...

I worry myslef to death..like I did about Tanner and m dad..

I worry if people will like my kids..will they think my girls are pretty and sweet..will they like Tanner and Justin..

Are they dressed nice enuff..are they smart as the other kids>??

Are they over weight or they underweight?

Are they okay they havent' called but twice today..must be something wrong..
Right now Randy and Tanner are on the tractor brush hoggin..I will count the minutes until they call..

coasterqueen replied:
I'ma woory wart and I know I will worry about all these same things, already do. rolleyes.gif

moped replied: I would also like to add that i am severley protective of Jack and I am convinced that DH can do nothing right with Jack - YIKES

Insanemomof3 replied: I cuss like a sailor too! I did a lot of drugs in the past. Have been married 3 times. blush.gif My second marriage only last 3 months. Hmmm there has to be more but I will have to think on it.

JessC replied:
I like to shop also, but I am VERY good about getting things on sale or clearance.

And i never donate clothes, just for the same reason. rolleyes.gif wacko.gif

My2Beauties replied: Mel - I thought DH and I were the only ones who forgot to pay the utility bill - thanks now I know I'm not lonesome on that note laugh.gif We get "brown bills" when it's late, we get one of those every month too! LOL LOL! Same with the water bill, cell phone bill, cable, etc...the list goes on and on!

When I was in college I had at least 12 credit cards and had them all almost charged up, I am definitely paying for it now though! blush.gif Huge financial catastrophe on my credit report blush.gif

About 5 summers ago, way before DH and DD, my friend from Indianapolis came to stay the summer with her mom and she is a huge weed smoker - guess what I did all summer long that summer blush.gif I did it so much that I got plurisy, the doc in the ER asked me if I smoked and I was like no (I don't smoke cigs) but then I thought about it and was like blink.gif unsure.gif Ooooooohhhh you mean smoke anything??? blush.gif I was a big ol' pothead!

I cry really easily when watching stuff that touches me, I can't hold back! If someone dies on TV, gets a promotion, falls in love, gets hurt, anything - I'm bawling! blush.gif

I confessed this in another thread quite some time ago, but I pick my nose while I am driving OMG I can't believe I said it again, now all the newbies know! rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif blush.gif

When I was younger I snuck out of the house constantly to go see this guy - oh Gosh I was awful! blush.gif

I am so jealous when it comes to my DH, not as bad as I used to be but if I ever caught a girl trying to get with him, I mean not just innocent flirting at a bar or something but like downright knew we were married, didn't care and was trying to be a homewrecker I wouldn't feel bad if I beat the holy heck out of her blink.gif

Sometimes I know I should give Hanna a bath, but I don't feel like it because I'm being lazy so I just "clean her up" really good Oh man I'm a terrible mom!

(I can't believe I am still thinking of more of these) - I have a tendency to flirt with restaurant guys if they start it, they give me free food - what can I say laugh.gif

I have a really bad habit of dwelling on death, I think about it a lot, what if it happened to me, DH, DD, or any other familiy member and I get myself really upset, I'm really emotional when it comes to that, I don't handle death well at all!

I'm actually pretty lazy when it comes to housework, DH does a lot of it!

I tried smoking when I was 13 in the back of an alley with this girl who was like 16 - she was such a bad influence on me mad.gif

OK I am stopping now because I cant believe I thought of this many things - now I'm embarrassed blush.gif

It's me again!~Don't tell what a horrible person I am rolling_smile.gif I am also WAYYYYYYYYY PROTECTIVE of Taylor and am a HUGE panicer(I don't even know if that is a word blink.gif but that is what I am) I pretty much don't trust anyone to take care of her like I do and honestly would not let anyone I know(except DH) Take her anywhere in fear that they would lose her or not be watching close enough and allow something to happen to her! sad.gif I know,I know I am a wacko.gif wink.gif

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I memorize music, too within a couple of hearings. happy.gif And math is NOT my strong suit.

Mel, Scotty forgets to pay the utilities ALL the time. It happened so much after Ethan was born. I was growl.gif mad.gif So, I took over that part. He is clearly too busy to remember something so minor. rolleyes.gif Perhaps it's b/c he is never here when it goes off. He's never been locked out of the house with a 4 week old and no diapers (couldn't open the garage). Or stuck in the house with no electricity and 2 kids. wacko.gif

I've never touched a drug...EVER. I drink on occassion. Just enough to get tipsy, but never drunk. Then I won't drink for MONTHS on end b/c I'm afraid of becoming an alcoholic. blush.gif It runs in my family. I don't want alcohol to take over my life.

I yell WAY too much. I am a stress case. I stress out over everything. I can't sleep from stress and worry and I'm currently seeing a chiropractor to help relieve the tension from all my stress. blush.gif

I cuss like a sailor, too. blush.gif I've got to stop this. I also slip in front of the kids.

I was a Jesus freak in high school. I think that is what got me thru the peer pressure.

We haven't been to church in over a year....we are starting back on Sunday and making a commitment to go atleast 3 Sundays a month and get more involved.

I drool when I sleep. blush.gif laugh.gif (but I don't snore)

I have no willpower. I've never been this fat in my life. sad.gif

I am way too protective of my kids. Is that possible?

I used to be addicted to shopping, but I'm so much better these past couple of months. elephant.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: I cuss horribly!! blush.gif ( I know that i need to stop now before Blakely begins repeating me)

I can't stand DH's family, at all. I wish they would just move far far away! cool.gif

I want to be pregnant

moped replied:
Oooooooooooo that's a good confession!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Heh heh... I cuss like a sailor too. And in FRENCH. It sounds so much...angrier...in french. lol! blink.gif

Sometimes I don't take a shower for 3 days...I just usea rag to wash the sweaty parts... ohmy.gif ohmy.gif emlaugh.gif

Sometimes I`m too lazy to get food or to cook for my kids and ouselves, so I give em a pb&J sandwich for dinner with some crackers and cheese... unsure.gif

Lately I drink a lot more coffee than I`ve been letting on to DH.... I don`t usually have a cup of coffee everyday - but for the last 2 weeks, I`ve been having a cup eaveryday, sometimes 2 or 3 cups....

I went out with a 39 year old when I was barely 18, after meeting him only when I paid the cash deposit for renting a limo as a gift for a friend..... he owned the limo company, and took me out to lunch on this date, with a particular limo with very very dark windows... couldn`t see inside... we never even went to eat lunch... emlaugh.gif I was dating my ex at the time, if you can call it dating, and this happend about 1 week before I left my ex for my DH

I also left a bar with a good friend of mine, to find myself in a shower, in a hotel room with this friend... we`re still friends, chat occasionally... we both kept THAT one a secret, as we were both dating someone at the time... emlaugh.gif

I used to drink a LOT. My father was an alcoholic - many times I`d close a bar (meaning leave at closing time, 3am back in the day), go for breakfast at some 24hour greasepit (usually have fries) and then go home, grab a change of clothes, and head to work, where I`d shower and change in the gym room, then go to my office.... I`ve had many 36 hour days between 15 and 19.... emlaugh.gif

There`s more I`m sure, but I think that's enough sharing.... blink.gif


MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Good one, not me though. I think I may have an only.

mom2tripp replied: This could be bad...

I'm VERY protective over Tripp and feel that no one can take care of him like me (that's why he's ALWAYS with me)

I hate my body and the way I look and I don't even like for my DH to see me w/o any clothes on bawling.gif

I love junk food so much that I have to tell myself over and over don't eat it, don't eat it, don't eat it and what do I do?/ EAT IT

GEEZ of course I could go on and on but I might get depressed emlaugh.gif

luvbug00 replied: Yeah Mya was a planned secret. Brad & I never prevented. We were thinking one day...( again never a good thing!) wonder if we didn't stop?? so well 9 months later. Mya!

I am a worry wort too! can we say Xanx.( anxitey for me is a big problem) I pop 2 when I get really bad. (if Tanner was my son that day he was out I would've been popping them until he came home!.)

I am exteremly insecure of my body! MOOOO

I am very dependent. I like having someone there always. I need the comfort of having somone to take care of me. I barley can go grocery shopping by myself without messing up somehow!

I have verdigo so bad I can't go out on my porch which is 3 floors up.( And I'm going on a trip on friday on the plane!)

I am petrified of going over potholes and those sewer things in the city the big square things not manhole covers. where you can look down and see the pipe systems.

I think that's it emlaugh.gif rolling_smile.gif

boobies4virtue replied: The bill thing is so me since I had Virtue, didn't used to do it.

On saturdays, when Ray is at work, I lay in bed all day long and just give Virtue a boob as soon as she starts to wake up so she'll fall back to sleep, too. Then I let on that she was so whiny and into everything all day and tell him that I am sooo not cooking dinner tonight. Take me out!!

Throughout the week, when Ray isn't home, Virtue and I eat in the living room instead of at the table. I yell at him for letting her eat in the livingroom.

I am afraid of pizza cutters.

TANNER'S MOM replied:
One time I was going thru a depressing time...

We were building a new house and it fell thru ..alot of stuff going on. My baby was going to school...money was tight.. I sleep alot

So I went to the doctor..and he gave me some anxiety something or other..

luvbug00 replied: emlaugh.gif oh you poor thing!! Xanax is a non habit forming med. That's why I take it and it doesn't make you loco it just calms ya down! emlaugh.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied: I let the kids eat in the living room too..and tell DH I dont...

And if he is there I look at the kids like they crazy if they dare ask...lololol

Jamielou replied:
I have heard a lot of people say that it did that to them they just couldnt function on it but i can tell a difference and i like the more calm me. I also had a tightness feeling in my chest that was there all the time and i didnt realize how bad it was until i started this medicine and it helped so much. I couldnt sleep cause it was like my mind would never stop going i was always thinking about what i had done or needed to be done and i also have something called OCD. not bad but bad enough it was effecting me. tongue.gif

The drive threw part of your post had me laughing out loud at work emlaugh.gif

punkeemunkee'smom replied: emlaugh.gif I want to learn!!! Can you teach me??? rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif I yell at people in traffic in fake foreign accents! rolling_smile.gif I really don't know why! It is kinda funny and it entertains me and Tay too for that matter! blush.gif

kimberley replied: i have never felt like i "fit in" anywhere

my dad may not be my bio dad

i slapped my mother when i was 12yo ohmy.gif

i drank from age 14-24, clubbing and partying til i got pg

i have tried a few drugs. didn't like them.

i was engaged at 18 to a guy who cheated

i was in love with one guy from grade 9 til i had my first kid. we briefly dated when i was about 22yo.

i cannot go a week without eating rice

i am a packrat and desperately need clean sweep!

i am a worry wart and control freak

i am a daydreamer

i swear and have a bad temper. getting much better as i get older.

i sometimes go to naughty sites

i have worked (as a bartender) in a "men's club" and have hung out there

i had an opportunity to be a model at the Junos (girl standing behind winner showing them off stage) and chickened out

i modeled for Anne Klein

went to Montreal casino for 4 days with a guy i barely knew who had lotsa money. he was about 8yrs older and came to the snooker club i worked coat check in, asked me to rub his cue for good luck, won lotsa money that night and asked me to go. thankfully he was a gentleman the whole time.

went with another guy 15yrs older than me to Vancouver to see my mom. he wanted me to start a native jewelry business for him and there was a convention there. he tried to get frisky and i told him off and all was good again.

i am sure there is more... but that is enough embarrasment for one day blush.gif



jcc64 replied:

Not that it has anything to do with this thread- but this statement simply is not true. Xanax is a narcotic, and like all narcotics, it has the potential to become addictive- very addictive. Just because a dr prescribes it doesn't mean it can't hurt you.
I occasionally take Xanax for anxiety issues myself- it's a great thing to have when I simply can't get control of my mind, but I use it sparingly, and I suggest you do the same. Watched my dad detox off of prescription tranquilizers- it's no picnic, believe me.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Thanks for setting that straight, Jeanne. Maybe it is all the laughter in your posts that threw me off, but you need to take it pretty serious. It is a serious drug and it is VERY habit forming. I worked for a neurologist for years and saw my share of patients addicted to this drug. Not to mention they sell it on the street.

punkeemunkee'smom replied:

rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif He hasn't complained yet!!!! rolling_smile.gif blush.gif


ROTFLMBO!!!!!! rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif

MM'sMama replied: Probably that I am so passionate about music and sang all my life and won many talent contests. And that I did and still dream about being a "pop star". laugh.gif I still go around my house singing all the time.

I thought of another.

And I would HATE for anyone else to know about this lol. Only other people who know about this are DH and my mom. And now you all rolling_smile.gif

When I am home alone at night I am extremely paranoid I mean EXTREMELY!! I always check to make sure everything is closed and locked and alarm is set literally 100 time. I always bring Brice into bed with me and LOCK the bedroom door. And I can never sleep though the night and I leave on a lot of lights in the house. And if I need a drink or anything it can only be from the bathroom cause there is no way no how I'm leave that room till day light!!! laugh.gif rolling_smile.gif

Ok I have to go hide now that i told you all that lol blush.gif

NummyMommy replied:
Except for the drinking thing thats about how I am blush.gif I used to drink but not anymore....surprizing?....hmmmm....I guess the only truly surprizing thing about me is I'm a closet Goth....I like black....gargoyles....bats...stained glass windows....nothing Satanic....just stuff youd find in a castle/cathedral. My best friends who always wear jeans and polos call me artsy fartsy and odd duck rolleyes.gif emlaugh.gif of course most of the time no one would know, they would just think I wear a lot of black. rolling_smile.gif
