Confessiones

That's "confessions" in Spanish.  I knew those 3 years of classes would pay off.

Tank: Loft // Sweater: JCP // Boots: From the Base Exchange //Skirt: Old Navy
I confess I wore my Steelers colors last Thursday.

I confess that I'm showing you the all cut off picture because the wind was blowing.  And this is what it looks like when the wind blows.

I confess that when someone asks me if my husband is "home yet", I get horribly defensive.  I don't know why I have this reaction.  Just happens.

And for real now, if you ask me WHY he isn't home yet, I'll just (for real) punch you in the damn face.

When you ask me those questions and give me that sad look in response to my "No, no yet" answer, it legitimately makes me feel like I am doing something wrong by him not being back yet.  Or it makes me feel like HE is doing something wrong.  And clearly that isn't the case.  I wish people would stop making me feel bad.

Whew.  It felt good to get that out.

(Clearly, this isn't directed at my blog friends. I love my blog friends.)

I confess that I did not watch the debate last week.  I probably won't watch any future ones.  And hell, I probably won't even vote.  It's like choosing between the lesser of two evils.  There's a reason I'm registered "independent".  I can't make my mind up about anything.  In 3 years, I still don't know where I'm supposed to go in order to vote in Alaska.  I shouldn't be allowed to teach America's youth.

I confess that when two of last year's students came into my room on Monday to discuss what they are learning about Hitler and WWII in 5th grade, it validated my reason for teaching.  They already knew the things they are now being taught.  Because I taught it to them last year.  Maybe I should be allowed to teach America's youth...

A random person complimented my boots last week.  The person was wearing Danskos.  I confess that my first thought was, "Oh you like my boots?  How 'bout you getcha some?"

Didn't say it though.  I do have a bit of tact.  Not much, but a bit.
