    There are moments when I am weak. My kids know it. I know it . What the heck, you might as well know it too. Sometimes, I can wear the super mom cape! I can put my foot down when they have had too much candy or they are disrespectful to my mother-in-law (more about that later). My weaknesses are showing through. I swear my youngest has started catching on to my inner softness and learning way too fast how to reach it in the moments of discipline and correction.

    Gosh Darnet!!! Telling someone "No" when they blatantly have done something so wrong can be hard. I cannot bring myself to look past a cute adorable grin. Seriously, my kid knows all he has to do is smile when he has gotten into trouble! Those cute little dimples just melt my heart! They are like a free get out of jail card! I am trying to have a stern "NO kinda talk." and it is really hard to keep a straight face when Matty is smiles from ear to ear. A smile with dimples no less. It is all in his dimples. Aghhh, I really could be creating a monster.

    Every person has their weakness and mine, oddly enough, just happens to be dimples (I know it's weird). Even superman has his kyrptonite, right? At least I don't fold under pressure of a strong male superhero weakening chemical! Just dimples. I am not just talking about cheek dimples! I am talking about the kind of dimples that are on a baby's elbows and knees! The ones that form because their kneecaps aren't fully developed! The ones that use to be on my cabbage patch kid when I was a little girl!

    My obsession might be because my 5 year lost his dimples. I am truly scared that my baby, my 1.5 year old, will loose his too. My 1.5 year old has found a way to calm my nerves with a smile that was triggered by his misbehavior. I am pretty sure it wont last forever. For now I will let his dimples, use of them for that matter, be my weakness. Maybe, even if it is a weakness, I will keep letting things slide.

    Please, tell me your weaknesses! Let me know I am not the only one that might be quite the only worst parent at times! What makes you weak in the knees and buckle under pressure. Is it being tired, or being on the phone? Judgement aside, this post could quite possibly be the most confessional entry yet! Don't let me be alone in my moment of weakness! Confess Away.

    P.S. Can I get plastic surgery to get dimples? Does anyone know the answer to this question? I would strongly consider it so I could use dimples to get me out of some trouble I get myself into. Darn, I could have used them the other day when that police officer was giving me a ticket.

    I had a terrible time this past week. I realized I made a huge mistake talking about the election in front of my kids. When Obama won my kids new I viewed him as the bad guy and totally freaked. Woops, lesson learned. Wow, glad I got that off my cheast.
