Am I The Only One...

...Who doesn't cook dinner when my husband's not home to eat it?

...Who decided showering with my baby is easier than giving her a bath and then bathing myself later?

...Who lights candles and wax warmers when I'm home all alone?

....Who cries every time I see a baby being born on television, the Internet, or in person?

...Who has about 18 craft projects I've started and never finished?

...Who insists on buying a real Christmas tree even if I'm not going to actually be home on Christmas?

...Who enjoys being outside when it's cold?

...Who misses her baby while she naps and therefore checks on her 18 times an hour?

...Who doesn't understand why people don't like coconut?

...Who watched the season finale of Sister Wives and loved it (and who wouldn't mind having a sister wife myself if it didn't involve the obvious sharing of my husband)?

...Who feels like I blinked and my newborn became an almost 6 month old?

...Whose only regret about winter is that the fruit selection is downright paltry at the market?

...Who hates that her husband doesn't work normal hours but doesn't mind a night or two to herself (but only a night or two!)?

...Who feels the need to buy a new sweatshirt even though I own about 42 of them already?

...Who wants to send out an impossible amount of Christmas cards?

...Who is so sick of Thanksgiving leftovers that I'm considering throwing out the last vestiges of sweet-potato casserole and corn pudding?

...Who feels like punching everyone who expresses shock that my child doesn't sleep through the night yet?

...Who needs to quit blogging and go to bed before I lose anymore precious sleep over all of the above?
***
Happy Thursday, everyone!

I really cherish the nights to myself when my husband works late too! Not every night, but couple a week is nice. Ella will sleep all night when she is ready!

Ditto on the coconut...never have been able to figure that one out. Time to start a special interest, focus, lobby group for the coconut perhaps???...naaa, too busy...gotta go buy another Packer sweatshirt...Dad.

haha no!
I feel that way when my husband is in school/work i have 2 nights to "myself" and i hated when people would be shocked my baby wouldn't sleep though the night. He didn't officially till he was 12 months so...
and i hate coconut smelling things but i like real coconut :)

Nope...my baby is right around your daughters age and only sleeps though the night sometimes. And my hubs works nights every other week, and while it's a lot sometimes, I do enjoy nights to myself to relax or get things done!

I agree with you about most of these. You're not alone. Especially when it comes to not cooking if the Mister isn't home.

Your definitely not the only one on a lot of these! I pretty much think/do all these too minus the baby ones of course :)

I am on of 'those' who doesn't like coconut. :( I don't know what it is, I just don't like the taste, but I love the way it smells in my shampoo and conditioner.

I totally love Sister Wives, and if I didn't have to share my man, I would want one. And the finale totally made me cry.
