Forgive me family, for I have stretched the truth a bit…

1. I have to do bills on the computer in the basement. [Actually…I have to watch the latest episode of the Bachelorette.]
2. I need to use the restroom. Can you finish the dishes?  [Actually…I”m sick of doing dishes and I want to give myself a pedicure.]
3. Let’s just eat leftovers tonight and save some money. [Actually…totally forgot about dinner.]
4. Unmatched socks are the latest trend. You are so cool. [Actually…too tired to sort socks.]
5. I have a gazillion errands to run, please watch the kids. [Actually…I have a DSW coupon burning a hole in my pocket. Must buy shoes.]
6. I am so sore from my workout. [Actually…sneaking that garage-sale-find-dresser into the house by myself nearly killed me.]
7. It’s summer, you don’t need to wear clothes. [Actually…I left a load in the washer and now have to re-wash it for the third time.]
8. I’m letting them grow so I can start a topiary garden. [Actually…I read my book when I should have trimmed the bushes.]
9. I need to work on taxes with Daddy. [Actually…I need some alone time with the Hubs.]
10. I can’t help you, Mommy has to work. [Actually…Mommy wants to blog.]
