guilty pleasures

There are some guilty pleasures I have no problem admitting to. Like when my one cup of coffee a morning turns into three...or the rest of the pot. Or that lately I can't get enough of chips and salsa and skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. I can easily admit to ending my days with Red Strip or a glass of New Age. I convince myself that a bowl of Special K Chocolatey Delight at ten at night is semi-healthy. It's Special K right? However some guilty pleasures...not so easy to admit. Like right now I am obsessed with Miley Cyrus's new song We Can't Stop. Don't judge. Or as much as I believe in sunscreen I'd like to sit outside sans the screen and get a tan. I haven't succumbed yet but it's on my mind. I also have started reading the Outlander Series again and it's extremely hard for me to put the book down. Sometimes I feel like a bad mom for reading while Brody is playing but he needs to learn how to play on his own right? Well that's when I am telling myself. I try to save reading for when I'm breastfeeding. That way we are both getting what we want. My last admission today: naps. I know they say nap while your baby sleeps but here's the thing, my baby sleeps from 8 at night to 7:30 in the morning. It's not like I'm up at all hours of the night. I really have no excuse to sleep....ok that's a lie. 9 month old babies are exhausting! They are crawling machines. You seriously can not take your eyes off of them. They are everywhere and get into everything and want to taste everything! So maybe napping isn't a guilty pleasure after all. It's necessary for my sanity. And Jeff might be jealous and poke fun at me for napping, but really I think he should be thanking me for napping. Exhausted mommy isn't always a pretty picture.
