My Confession for today: Sometimes I feel like a failure as a wife, mother and friend
i am terrified about being pregnant. i feel so guilty for being so stressed out--and not really excited. it should be a happy thing and i just wish it had never happened.
ReplyDeleteOh my favorite part of the month... the confessions!
ReplyDeleteMy confession for today? After my husband had an affair, I seriously considered having one of my own to get back at him. Thankfully I didn't. I know now that it would have been a HUGE mistake.
It has been almost 2 years since the affair happened and we have come a LONG way. To anyone out there that had an affair or who's spouse cheated on them, I want you to know it IS possible for a marriage to survive such devistation. Mine is the proof.
Much love to everyone who puts their heart out here today. (((HUGS))) to each of you.
It is my birthday today and no one knows. So, Happy Birthday to me!
ReplyDeleteI already confessed today on my own blog about being addicted to The Young And The Restless, but wanted to pop in here and let Georgie know how much I like the Confessional... you've really created a unique niche and it seems to be needed. Georgie, I often have the same feelings as you about what kind of wife, mom, and friend I am.
ReplyDeleteI am having a horrible week and have accidentally bounced several checks including ones to our church!
ReplyDeletei also have been stalking facebook and checking out all my high school crushes most of whom are not only still hot but very successful. makes me super jealous as i struggle to have the essentials for my kids right now
BoyBoy's frog died last night and I am going to the fish store to replace him before he gets home from school! Can I tell you how much I hate fishtanks!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to figure out how I can slide out of work early today!
ReplyDeleteToday is my birthday too, but I don't feel like celebrating. Happy Birthday, Anonymous.

I often feel like a failure as a wife, mother and friend too. Can we add daughter onto that too? I know I never was what my mother wanted : ( And I know I am not the sex crazed french maid my husband would like.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Anonymous 1 & 2!
I feel like a failure because I can't seem to lose "the weight." I have been fighting this battle since I was 12 years. I'm tired of fighting and yet I'll never be happy until I do.
ReplyDeleteI love your confessional! It's such a relief :)
I had an emotional affair for many years early on in our marriage. A couple of times it began to get physical, but I stopped myself each time before it turned into sex. A few years ago I told the guy to f**k off and leave me alone. He was very manipulative and had a major hold on me. We haven't talked since. I have been in therapy for a while now, but still hate myself for what happened, even though I ultimately said no. I haven't told my husband, because it would be the most destructive thing I could do to him. It would ruin our family. I cannot hurt him or my children for my past mistakes. This person is SO out of my life now, I just wish I could forgive myself and stop reliving the past.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in my new state for 5 months and I have yet to make one friend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Anon! I am so tired of the issues with my step son and his girlfriend/babymomma I want to scream. I spent hours counseling and giving my advice and they don't listen, so I have cut them off. She is due any day now with our grandchild and has NOTHING done. They are almost 30. I painted the nursery and got them a dresser and started painting it. I worked 9 hours trying to help them and left them with projects to finish like putting the bed together and last coat of paint on dresser. NOTHING has been done since. I am not doing one more thing for them. I am done. I just feel sorry for that baby, but I have drawn the line.
ReplyDeleteI feel like a bad Mom because I don't miss Wendy and her drunken drama.
ReplyDeleteHaven't showered in over 36 hours. Delish.
ReplyDeleteI still feel guilty about my son almost drowning when he was 2. (He fell in the pond and I had to run and pull him out.) I still feel like crying whenever I think of it. I feel like a shitty mom and always think "If I had been a minute later, he could have died". I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.
ReplyDeletean old boyfriend found me on FB and I looked at his pictures and was happy that his wife was not cute. Then I watched the video he posted and she's an 8 year Breast Cancer survivor (and she's only 25!!!) I felt like a total loser for being so shallow- she's a much better person than I am!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Finally I get to participate, I have missed the one's in the past.
ReplyDeleteMy confession is.....I went so crazy buying Christmas presents for my son this past Christmas that I am STILL two months behind on my mortgage and have a ton of other bills that are past due as well. I can't catch up! :-(
I suck with money and budgeting. I try really hard but I'm not making much ground.
ReplyDeleteI still hate my job and I have an interview on Sunday. I am hoping it goes well so I can tell my boss I quit. I really do not like working here. I get sick to my stomach every morning. I dread the drive to work, I look so forward to the end of the day. As soon as I walk out the door it is like a weight has been lifted off my chest. This feeling I have about my job pours over into my home life and I am becoming a nasty miserable person. My husband and my kids deserve so much better and I know once I am out of here I am going to be a better mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter and person in general.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL is a long time junkie. She is off and on the wagon. She fell off hard a couple weeks ago and is now a homeless bag lady going between our house and my SIL's house. She knows we will not tolerate her using but she took her chances anyway.
ReplyDeleteAfter nodding out all day on Tuesday, my suspicious 15yr old son dug through her purse and found a syringe and heroine. She lied to him when he confronted her to a point she had him believing she wasn't shooting up (he was later convinced she was lying).
This was a tough lesson for him. He now understands just a little bit of what his dad and aunt went through as kids. How sad for a kid to have to witness a junkie in action, let alone be it his grandmother. Sad.
In the end, we kicked her out of our house and changed the locks. Last I heard she was headed back to my SIL. I don't think she'll last there either...
Georgie, am I allowed to second your confession because that is exactly how I feel this week!!
ReplyDeletemy mother drives me nuts and instead of trying to work on things to get along better, i just keep my distance. i don't want my kids avoiding my phone calls and leaving my emails unanswered for weeks when they are grown.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea this is, Georgie!
ReplyDeleteMy confession: I often feel like a bad mom and wife and terrible daughter.
My blog is a secret from my husband. He knows some of what I've confessed on it, but mostly he's in the dark about my feelings. I plan to keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to prepare for a figure competition next year! I'm scared to death I won't reach my goal! I haven't told anyone because if I fail I don't want anyone to know!
ReplyDeleteWow! The guilt that we carry around. Me, too, and I more self-centered that I would like to be.
ReplyDeleteI had a loaner car last week because my car was getting work done. They told me not to smoke in it but I thought what would a couple hurt. I think part of my cherry fell on the seat because there was a small dark spot where it was burned. I freaked out because this was a nice car. So I went to home depot and got some tan caulk or something and put it on the hole. It did a good job of hiding it but I just feel terrible about being sneaky.
ReplyDeleteHere's a good one...I'm skipping out early from work today, 'cause it's just SO DARN NICE OUT! Shhhhhhhhhhh...don't tell The Boss!
ReplyDeleteI am very lonely. I have the hardest time making friends. I will go to a playgroup with my kids and talk to the moms, however after the playgroup is over we don't do anything else with other. I wish that I could make a friend that I can spend some time doing something that doesn't include my kids.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that sometimes I feel like the biggest failure to my husband. Now, he worships the ground I walk on mind you, I just feel like I'm not good enough for him at times.
ReplyDeleteI think people are too hard on themselves! We're HUMAN! :) Big hugs to all.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to those that are having a birthday today....I care.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wear the playboybunny suit or Alice in Wonderland dress...if I had a french maid outfit I would wear it too, despite being overweight and squishy here and there.
I'm a great daughter, my mother's just too stupid to know that.
And I'm not a good mom but my girls love me.
I'm not a great grandmother but my grandsons love me.
And I'm a great wife becuz I will rock a bunny suit when asked.
Ladies...love thyself.
But my confession in the confessional....I HATE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.
With a passion.
It's been a very long time since my husband and I had sex. I'm just not into it anymore. Being home with 4 kids all day long drains me and the thought of having to give more of myself makes me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteDeb...I am with you. I stay upset at my mom when I am around her, so I just cut her off for months at a time...and I DON'T feel guilty about it...just shitty!
ReplyDeleteI think my marriage is over....but don't know what to do about it...I wish I could just cut that off too...
My confession: I've never commented on this blog before. OH MY BAD, I HAVE TOO commented on this blog before!
ReplyDeleteHere's another confession: I like using The Today in Idabel Oklahoma blog as my personal blogmate email system. :)
Hi, Georgie! Since this is private, I want to say that I am so incredibly SICK of being broke and owing money that I could THROW UP!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so behind on my housework (because I've been depressed about the bills we owe) that it is ridiculous. I keep up with the basics, but that is about it. I love a clean organized home, but I am miles from that right now. I dread everyday that someone will drop by.
AND I am sad that I am fat and out of shape. I am surprised each time I see my reflection in the mirror.
I hid the brownes from my husband so he wouldn't eat them all!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am very hqppy i have a new friend on my blog! Thank you for the comments about Ash as well!
ReplyDeleteYikes! I must confess I lied being sick the other Friday to skip working. I felt terrible about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so frustrated by my adoption classes and I want to quit.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad about the people with no friends and the people with birthdays and nobody knows.
ReplyDeleteI hope things change for them very soon.
I confess that I've decided to keep the music symbols next to my name. They are dorky but they are mine.
My confession is I decided to post a comment after reading the other confessions! I am just so nosy!
ReplyDeleteMy son needs a therapist and I feel like a crappy mother because of it.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like a failure and am not doing my oldest son justice when it comes to helping him out with his education! It is one of the most important things but I am failing to find time!
ReplyDeleteI have had an absolutely horrid week and I just want to curl up and cry myself to sleep. Sometimes I feel like I can't take much more and although I am strong I seriously need help because I can't do it ALL anymore. I am resentful because I can't say no and I know people ask me to do things b/c I will do it no matter how much it stresses me out! I am tired, stressed out and sick of doing EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME! I often wonder if maybe I need some kind of medication to help me handle stress then I get angry at the idea of even thinking I need it, I pop out of the funk!
Wow this is long! Really feels good though! Plus I HATE MY HUSBAND'S FAMILY! Seriously I only like about 4 people in his ENTIRE family....ok I am going to stop b/c I could go on all day about them!
This is awesome. It's good to give folks a place to say some things.
ReplyDeleteMine: Not getting to be a mom or experience pregnancy and childbirth makes me feel really cheated sometimes, especially when I see people who don't want to be pregnant or just seem unhappy to be parents. I bite my tongue 8 thousand times a day when I am out and about in the world.
I am still nursing a heartache after 12 years. I'm mad at myself for not getting over it. I tried real hard but I cannot forget being betrayed and the hurt that I felt that time. I am happily married and live a wonderful life as a SAHM so why do I still feel this way? We are well-off financially and I have what I want. Why can't I let go?
ReplyDeleteI googled him and saw a photo of him and his wife. I was happy to find out that she's a plain Jane. (I know, I'm lame LOL) I want to call him and tell him how much he has hurt me. I want to call his wife and tell her that I am the first and will always be the first woman he made love to and that she stole him from me, that she's a boyfriend stealer that she's a whore. I hate him for what he has done to me. I hate him for putting this hatred in me. I hate him for giving me my one and only heartbreak. I hate him...
I tried so hard to quit smoking while pregnant and just couldn't. I did cut back, but that isn't acceptable. My little one has been sick constantly since he turned one and I'm afraid my smoking may have caused some of his problems. I can't believe I was so selfish!!!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't feel like a failure at times?
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is realize that you are surrounded by people feeling this way to realize that you are not such a failure after all. :)
Seriously, I just want to hug you all. Especially the Anonymous posters.
ReplyDeleteMy confession today (late, nonetheless) is that I really dislike my job these days. My boss is driving me nuts on a regular basis, I worry about the economy and whether we will have enough business to sustain us, and what I really want to do is make enough money at my part time job (real estate) to pay off my bills, and actually do it full time so that I can quit my accounting job.
Left you something on my blog : )
ReplyDeleteI can't make it through reading very many confessions without getting really sad. Then some are funny and so I'm on a roller coaster of emotion. I think that's the draw to confessions though...
ReplyDeleteQuoting a friend's blog post
ReplyDelete"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh*t."
I'm a little (well, maybe more than a little) irritated with my spouse being so, well, MALE!!!! Gotta let it go, (even tho I wanna hang on to it and be RIGHT) cause its causing me to have a headache. GGGGGRRRRRRRRR
YOU have a great day!!!!
HI Georigie! I just love your blog it always makes me feel happy just looking at the graphics!
ReplyDeleteOkay, confessions... well, things are tough right now and although I know I'm strong, sometimes I wanna just go to sleep!! ;) But - I'm awake and all is well!
Hugs
I waste so much time. For someone who has so many things I need to take care of in my home, it seems like I do nothing when I leave my workplace because I'm just drained. Don't want to think.
ReplyDeleteIf home is where the heart is, you couldn't prove it by me, and that makes me very sad. I'm really hoping to change things and I've been slowing gearing up for that.
I confess that I am happy that you won an okie blog award. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWoot!! Woot!! You won girlie!! I'm so happy for you! :) Go check it out!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! A well deserved win in a very tough arena!!
ReplyDeleteI did my Kegels in church today.
ReplyDeleteI hope this makes you LYAO, cuz it's seriously cracking me up right now!
Love this blog! My confessions are...I'm with Helene-we haven't had sex in a LOOOONG time, in fact I am not even sure when the last time was-years. I don't CARE, and we just kinda live like friends, which is FINE with me-we get along, have the same interests, but are not into sex anymore. We're both too tired! I also have a suspicion that Coach's parts aren't all functioning properly any more-because of his diabetes. I also have a messy house, and would love to clean it up and get organized, but feel overwhelmed and get SICK of cleaning up after other people...if they don't care, why should I? I hope to change that soon.
ReplyDeleteLate as usual...but my confession is, I want to help my oldest son lose weight...I just don't know how, without sounding snide and hurtful? He's only 12 and he loves food, I know thats my fault. I had no idea that one of my kids would be overweight, I was a bean pole when I was little. I am dieting myself and I hope that he will watch and learn? Is that possible?
