Happy Wednesday! It’s that time again for my monthly confessions! Hope each of you had a great Halloween! I’m getting excited for this weekend, as my husband is off for 4 days straight which never happens. I’m taking half the day off on Friday to get my hair did (yay!) and taking Monday off to spend some extended time with the family. We have passes for Ripley’s attractions, so we’re heading to nearby Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for a little fun weekend getaway and I’m pumped to ride some go-karts with the boys! š
October Confessions
Mom Confessions
- Last Friday, I tried on a skirt and new pair of over-the-knee boots and jokingly asked my husband if I looked like a hooker. Unbeknownest to me my 4 year old was listening in and he then proceeded to say “Mom, you look like a hoo-kah.” I tried to contain my laughter as I asked him if he even knew what that was, to which he replied “Yeah, of course- it’s someone who hooks fish and wears boots.”
- The other evening as I was emptying the dryer (story of my life), my son reaches down, sniffs the piles of clothes in the basket, and looks up to me and says “Smells like victory!” And no, neither my husband nor myself have ever said this phrase. Ever. lol
Food Confessions
- I ate lucky charms for the first time in ten years the other day, and I had forgotten how good it is. It’s no wonder all these kids love eating it- it’s straight up candy for breakfast.
- My husband and I totally rummaged through our kids trick or treat buckets last night after they went to sleep. There’s stuff in there they totally won’t eat anyways! š
Random Confessions
- I’ve already started listening to Christmas music, and I have no shame in it. I feel like the holidays always fly by anyways, so I’m gonna pro-long it if I can!
- I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for the return of Gilmore Girls! I truly hope it lives up to my expectations. Plus I’m wondering if Luke and Lorelai ever tied the knot!
Pet Peeve of the Week
Does anyone else feel like this every time they drive up to an ATM? I have to literally unbuckle, open the door, and physically get out of my car to reach the computer. This pretty much eliminates all the “convenience” factor. Maybe it’s just short people probs. lol
Humor/Funnies
What do you want to confess from this month? Share them with me in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by!- Cara
Linking up with Humpday Confessions and What’s Happening Wednesday
Ooh…You just made my day Cara! Can’t stop the laughing!!! Too funny :)) Bravo!!!
Sending you happy vibes!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
TRUTH on sleeping like my husband. HOOKS FISH AND WEARS BOOTS?! Dying. of. laughter. Love that. Now… the real question is… will he go out and public and scream, “MOM YOU LOOK LIKE A HOOK-AH!”
Oh gosh I hope not. That’s what I’m afraid of hahaha
Kids literally say the darnedest things, love it! So sweet. Also, I am with you on the Christmas music and such. They always fly by so quick…why not enjoy it to the fullest?!
Exactly! I love Christmas music too, it’s so pretty and happy! š
LOL I totally had Lucky Charms for the first time in forever last night and I was like “why the heck did I stop eating these?!?!” And that quote about being spontaneous? Yup. That’s me! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
That was my exact reaction too! So good!
Love what the kiddos say–it’s always a surprise and never a dull moment, i swear! Thanks for sharing your confessions, doll!
Haha I know! I’m sure you hear a lot as a nanny too! š
Haha! I love when you do these. Lucky Charms and Christmas music?? Sounds like heaven to me. š
I agree! I couldn’t believe what I’d been missing out on, they were so good! š
Those mom confessions are the best, haha. And have no shame in the Christmas music, I’ve been listening too š
Thank-you! So glad I’m not the only one rocking out to the Christmas music! š
“Smells like victory!” – that is the best thing I’ve heard today!
Haha it cracked me up!
Haha, my husband and I totally raid our kids’ Halloween candy!
It’s our duty as parents to make sure they’re safe! š lol
LOL at the “hooker” moment! And I am the same way at ATMs. I don’t think I have ever just reached through the window.
Yeah, my arms apparently are way too short lol.
I definitely have to go buy a box of Lucky Charms now. Things like that never taste as good as they did when you were young, but they still taste pretty darn good.
Yeah I went into it thinking, these aren’t going to be as good, but they were pretty amazing! lol
I literally laughed out loud about the laundry – that’s awesome! I’m also excited for the Gilmore girls! I just finished watching all 7 seasons to refresh before Nov 25! Can’t wait!

Haha it was so random of him to say! I’m counting down the days till GG!
hahaha to that hooker story š I like your son’s version! We’ve already broken into the Halloween candy stash and I’d love to have three weeks notice for all plans on my calendar š
Lol it was too funny!
These are so fun. Your son sounds super cute. I bet you and your hubby are always laughing. Lol. I totally feel the ATM thing. I’m short too so I always have to practically crawl out of my car to reach the computer. Sigh lol
They both crack us up! And good that makes me feel better about the ATM lol.
LOL at the “hook-ah” comment! Kids are too funny and pick up on EVERYTHING. Also, the other day I had my music on shuffle and a Christmas song came on and…I kept it. Something about the cold weather and gloomy day made it seem so fitting – sorry not sorry!
I know, right?! I feel like it comes and goes so fast, we might as well soak it up while we can! š
Haha I love this! I’ve been listening to christmas music too!

Yay! Never too early to start! š
I think it is the moral imperative of all parents to “test” the Halloween candy š No shame in that game! š
Exactly! Gotta make sure it’s safe! š
Lucky Charms were my jam during pregnancy, definitely one of my biggest cravings aside from Chic Fil A. Have an amazing trip this weekend <3

Thanks Kate! Lucky charms are amazing!
good post! have fun with the Rob and the boys. You might want to take some warm clothes it is supposed to be cold this weekend.
We will!
That last picture is the total truth! My husband can fall asleep at the drop of a hat and sleep through anything. Too funny about your son’s comments.
Mine too! we can go to sleep at the exact same time and I’ll still be laying there tossing and turning while he’s out like a log. lol
“Smells like victory!”- love it hahaha! Have you ever seen the Jimmy Kimmel bit where he shows what kids say/do after the parents confess to eating all their candy?! So, so funny! And not gonna lie, I cleared the calendar for the Gilmore return. I hope they got married too!
No but I’m definitely googling that right now! And yes, that would be amazing if they finally tied the knot! š
I miss eating sugary cereal. I loved lucky charms! I am ALWAYS opening my door to get to ATMS hahaha
Lol, I thought maybe I just had reaching issues but glad to know it’s not just me! š
Out of the mouths of babes….so cute! Confession: I have never had Lucky Charms! Can you believe that? I too am listening to Christmas tunes and my brain is in full on Holiday mode. Fun post beautiful!!
Oh you so need to eat Lucky Charms! They’re so good! š
Haha! Your boys are so funny!
And yes to the ATM!! I’m not short and have the same problem.
Hope you guys have a fun, long weekend!

Oh good that makes me feel better about the ATM! lol I thought it was just me. Thanks hope you’re having a fun weekend!
I was listening to Christmas music on Friday…:) I felt a bit ridiculous but at the same time, I loved it.
Also, I’m super excited about the Gilmore Girls return and the Fuller House trailer came out yesterday and I cried in excitement. LOL
Yes! There’s people that only listen to it for a couple days before Christmas and that’s crazy to me lol
Love your sons responses!! To cute!!! I have not eaten lucky charms in forever. I used to eat it all the time when i was younger. I am also excited about watching GG!! I still need to get caught up on the old seasons. I have to do the same thing when I go to the ATM.
It is one of my favorite series! Such a good TV show! š
“Smells like victory” hahaha! That is hilarious.
I blame it on TV lol
haha yes you everything you wrote about!! Heck, I’m going to start saying that my clean laundry smells like victory too – cause it does.
Haha it was so random/hilarious at the same time.
I’m too suspicious to use the drive through ATM so I never do because I always think that it’s been tampered with and people will steal my PIN and access to my account!
Gosh I hope not lol. Now I’m paranoid!
HAHA! “Someone who hooks fish and wears boots.” I love it! Great post! Happy Wednesday! š
Lol, thank-you! š
OMG! I can’t stop laughing when I read what your 4 year old kid said. Hahaha.
Haha it was pretty funny. My husband and I got a kick out of that one.
Oh my gosh, the hooker comment is so funny!!
Lol, just wait until your little one starts talking! š
Hahaha these ALL just made my morning but especially the hookah!!
Lol Not that I want him going around announcing to everyone that I’m a “hookah” but it was soo funny in the moment! š
I love how kids see words in their mind & have a TOTALLY different meaning then what it is… good thing in most situations š
I’m the same way with the ATM. I’ve pulled muscles before trying to use it from the car
Oh my gosh me too! It’s ridiculous how much you have to stretch to reach those things lol
I can’t wait for the Gilmore revival either!! I’m dying. But it’s finally November so we’re getting close now š I’m cracking up at your son and the dryer story!
I love this idea for a post, thanks for sharing š

I know, the countdown has begun! Thank-you! š
Oh to have the brain of a 4 year old! That was just too funny!!! And the ATM – yes. I always feel so dumb too!
Lol it cracked me up. Now I don’t really want him going around saying that his mom is a hooker, but it was pretty hilarious. š
I love the way you have this post set up. Confessions….Love it! My favorite is the one about you with the boots on. Love your son’s explanation of hookah. Great post!
Lol I know. It was hilarious!
Hahahaaha that last ecard! YES!!! Ok so confession…I was at the drive thru in the bank the other day to deposit some checks and I dropped the stupid plastic tube thing and it rolled under my car so I had to back up some to get it. Well i got out….realized I needed to back up even more because me and my pregnant belly wouldn’t fit. Meanwhile the teller just stared at me through the window. Like help a girl out!! LOL!
I am totally listening to Christmas music too!! And I LOVE Gatlinburg!!! We go with Chris’s family every year after Christmas for a week and get a huge chalet and do all the fun things. Unfortunately this year we aren’t going since I don’t want to travel with a newborn…but it is back on next year for sure!
Oh my goodness! I hate those things and am always paranoid I’m going to drop them lol. Aw this Christmas will be so much fun for you all regardless of where you’re at! š
This is just what I needed to start my day is some good laughs. Victory on the laundry smell, We always went through the kids halloween candy, I like your sons definition of a hooker. Turn on the christmas music.
Glad you enjoyed it Candy! Kids really do say the funniest things!
Omg so much yes to the atm, i literally have to get out of my car every time! I always love these posts, they always make me smile! Happy Wednesday! XO- Kim
Lol, glad I’m not the only one who struggles with that. Hope you have a great weekend girl!
