5 Dirty Little Confessions
Ooooh it’s Friday night. It’s 11pm.
Time to fess up.
First confession:
There’s a reason my 3yo is telling her teen sisters and older brother that they are “Pains in her ass”.
She went wild outside yesterday. She kept running away from me. Getting too damn close to the curb. Then ran out of the supermarket while I was paying. I want to put a leash on that child. Last night, while alone in the kitchen with hubby, I told him that Natasha was being a pain in the ass.
Don’t know where the little creep was hiding and heard me. She’s so tiny sometimes I walk past her and ask where she is.
Also? Damian was outside the bathroom door this morning telling younger teen that he needs to poop and if she didn’t get out of the bathroom he’d kick her butt.
God knows where he got that one from.
His teachers are going to bloody love me.
Second confession:
Back in the day when I was a teen I use to gamble in the school yard. Yep. We would play dominos, a version of 3 card poker or Gin Rummy. For money. My dad taught me to play sometime before he ran out on us. I never walked away from a junior high school yard game a loser. Nope.
Over the years I played with friends. At some point I had a boyfriend who played dominos for money in the back of the corner bodega (think corner deli). His buddies got pissy everytime I showed up. I was an 18 yo walking out with at least $500 won from a bunch of 30 year olds. They figured they’d take the kid’s money (he was 21). Didn’t know his girlfriend who actually knew how to play would show up. I stopped playing for money when he dumped me for a skinnier chic with bigger boobs.
After the toddlers were born, I introduced hubby to yahoo games and we’d have a way to unwind – both of us at our desks beating each other or tag teaming against others.
Hubby recently had me open a facebook account or him. Why? He wanted to play Texas Hold Em. Readers who’ve been here months before can tell you I had a hatred for Texas Hold Em. I really don’t care to play games through facebook in general. Don’t you dare mention Farms or birds to me. I’ll unfriend your ass.
Hubby has me playing Texas Hold Em with him. Grrrr. And worse of all, I like it. Speaks to the gambler in me.
Third Confession:
the someecards.
I’ve seen ‘em and liked all. I just didn’t know where the hell they came from until I Googled it. Just now. Gosh am I behind or what? And now? I want to make one myself and can’t think of a bloody quote.
So here’s my card —–>
Luckily I took a screenshot, because, of course, I did it all backwards and made the card before registering.
Then I tried to register using Facebook and it all went to hell.
Technically challenged? Me? Possibly. Especially when it comes to facebook.
Fourth Confession:
My Sew Gaelic client? She hired me again to create a design for her other site. It took me 3 weeks. Not to design it. To come up with an idea for it.
Usually when a client doesn’t know what she wants, I can look at the site and come up options for her to choose from.
But this client, as many other mom-clients, has become a friend. Even more, she’s like a sister.
She gave me a full reading which was awesome and on the money and I had this need to give her the perfect site.
Some time Thursday night, I came across the perfect art, and had the site built within a day. Tell me it’s not beautiful. Go ahead, I dare you. You can see the live site at Mystic Tarot.
What do you get when you cross an embroiderer with a psychic?
Talisman cloths.
The talisman cloth is a custom embroidered keepsake which may be used or displayed according to the desires of the recipient. This particular cloth is intended for use as a display item. This base fabric is a 20×20 piece of soft white glitter felt.
Here’s the centerpiece of the one she’s made for me.
It’s very hindu. the eyes are mother goddess DurgaKali
The butterfly/tiger represents mother goddess’s vehicle, a tiger, and the butterfly represents new beginnings.
Confession Five
Damian was offered a free year of private school. I turned them down. Everyone says I’m crazy. Maybe I am, I just didn’t like the way the administrator stuttered when I inquired about care for students who have high risk peanut allergies. Damian’s a 6 on a scale from 1 to 6. No way am I leaving him anywhere that isn’t a nut free zone.
And that’s it for my confessions.
Do you have a dirty confession to share?
I love those someecards and see them all over the place
Some are really fantastic. Like the one about menopause “I am still HOT! It just comes in flashes now!”
That Talisman cloth rocks – I especially love the eyes.
And by the way, I am still unable to open the Mystic Tarot link
403 Forbidden with some Apache junk junk junk stuff – but from the screen shot, it looks gorgeous!
I didn’t know Damian had a peanut allergy. Gosh, got to be so careful, forever reading food labels – they put it in so many things these days.
I have no confession to make. If I do, I am not telling

I know you’re confession Vidya…You’re a zombie looking for a good time
I’ve got to think of something funnier to add to that spam checker. lol
by the way, u can visit that site now if u like. it’s a long story but it’s good to go now.
Hi Van,
Gambling? Aren’t we suppose to do that for living
lol… It’s never easy to grow with kids. right? I’m yet a kiddo 
I’m a gamer, I mean love to play games and once I started to play a game on Facebook. I stopped right then. Too much ads on background
Google+ is better for gaming. But I do play PC games 
That’s always been better for me.
Truth or Dare? Whatever it is, I gotta see your Someecards. Hope to see it eventhough you can’t get access to it
I like the design of yours Van. I don’t say it’s best design, but I love most of ‘em including this. I believe in your creativity. Just one thing from my point of view: I’d love if there is some room after welcome post and footer. So I can see lake beneath the welcome post
lol… I’m terrible, right? (Oh no, your screenshot has it, but not the actual one)
One last thing, HOW MANY TIME SHOULD I CONFESS THAT I AM NOT A ZOMBIE WHEN I COMMENT
LOL…
Cheers…

OMG Mayura…bloody texas holdem has a slick way of taking you out of FB and having you play on their site…they offer you more chips. lol.
thanks for the compliment. the art kinda cuts off there dude. I actually extended the water so I’d have a bit more. Kate was actually very concerned about the art. she loves it and didn’t want the moon out of your eye sight for a minute, so the content scrolls but not the background. which is lucky for me cause there’s no more water. lol
You really cracked me up with our last remark “leaving him anywhere that isn’t a nut free zone”. Soooo what’s your business again?
Seriousely, ‘dirty little secrets’, we all have them. If someone says they have no dirty little secrets, they lie. Mine? I play games on Facebook, I found my long lost sister (we haven’t spoken in 12 years) on Facebook. Hell, I’m starting to like Facebook.

Confession #1: When I was a young teen, I used to play Black Jack with my little cousins. I whooped their asses and took their money until my mother called me out and made me return every cent.
Confession #2: Before I started blogging, I played Mafia Wars on Facebook. I was addicted. Then I decided to quit cold turkey. I think I started thinking about starting a blog because I had nothing else to do online.
Aaaaand that’s all. For now.
(Glad you made the decision not to take up at that school. Not worth your precious boy’s life for free tuition)

girl i was addicted to bejeweled and word for friends before i started this blog. lol
Vanita you made the right decision about the private school. They might have the awards but no common sense . My son was in one from prek to middle of 5th grade … had to pull him out mid year. The situation with kids bullying my son was not handled properly by the school. He had no support system there. The kid even wrote a book about his experience. We put him in a public school and moved out of state. I can only speak for me but you did the right thing.
My toddler says the funniest things because she has an older brother… we try to curb it. The other night at the dinner table she said ” Im doing it like a boss ” ! had us laughing …
Love this confessional post!

These are good confessions! My 3 y.o. is making me INSANE lately with all the running away and darting around. Then when I try to actually get something done at home he is clingy and needy and lovey. Go figure. I think the site you designed is awesome! It’s beautiful. She must be so happy.
