An OMG! Confess Sesh

Kind of like a regular confess session, but with a more dramatic undertone.


I confess: OMG! It cost me a hundred dollar bill to fill up my car this morning. It's all Obamas fault.

I confess: OMG! It drives me insane when people don't return their shopping carts to the designated return spot. Also, I love how someone will drive around a parking lot for ten minutes trying in vain to get a superclose parking spot, when if they had just parked in the back, they would be inside already!

I confess: OMG! I chose to watch Honey Boo Boo last night instead of the Democratic National Convention. And you know how I feel about Honey Boo Boo...

I confess: OMG! I throw things at my dog during the night when she snores. Nothing life-threatening like a lamp or anything, just a rolled up sock or if it's really bad, a book. Soft cover, obviously. 

I confess: OMG! It's supposedly the beginning of fall and it's still blazing hot outside. Again, Obamas fault.

I confess: OMG! I did that stupid pinterest idea where kids hold up a sign saying what they want to be at the start of every school year. I can't believe I'm "that" mom...



I confess: OMG! When I dropped Gunner off at school, I found myself almost just barely maybe a teeny tiny bit teary eyed. My inner dialogue was "pull it together Raven, don't let them see you cry, you pansy ass. You can't let them know you actually have a heart!" 


For the record, I didn't cry. I held it in along with all my other human emotions.

I confess: OMG! Thank the good Lord I didn't have girls. They would be screwed.

I confess: OMG! Vegas is in three weeks and I still haven't lost a single pound.

And that?

Is definitely Obamas fault.

Rachel said...

Hahaha! Bring me a healthy lunch then! I will make you lose a pound today!! And get your butt over here! I am starving. On a side note (sorry, I am knocked up...food is all I think about), I can't believe you almost cried when gunner went to school! I thought the only thing that got you choked up anymore was reality TV.

Dani @ Inspire Motivate Love said...

Hahahahaha! I love this. End of story.
I'd also like the fall weather to arrive. I'm over the heat. :)

Mrs. Mama said...

the end.

Karen said...

Seriously...love Gunner. When my daughter is 30 and can date, they have to meet.
Love that you did those pinterest pics.
BTW...my house has been on the market 3 months with no showings...TOTALLY OBAMA's FAULT!

Hanna said...

It's all his fault - I agree. And I'm one of those mom's, but I'm a loser b/c I just did the First Day sign & left out the "what I want to be" part - good thing, though b/c when I asked Emma she said "a gas station helper..." then said, "Nothing. I just want to stay a kid!" I can get down with the latter! Stay young!!

Haley W. said...

Hahahahahah! "It's Obama's fault" --- couldn't agree more. I drive a car...a CAR...not an SUV, not a mid-size, a CAR...and it took $65 to fill her up the other day. CRAY.

Kate @ Green Fashionista said...

Haha this was hilarious!

Btw.. it's not officially fall until September 22nd ;)

CALLIE said...

Everything's Obama's Fault... Just because I said so.. :)

happymommy said...

OMG! You are the BEST! Your posts seriously make my day! Gunner...can he be any cuter??! I would probably cry just because I wouldn't get to see his cute face all day!

Alice said...

My kids were cursing Michelle Obama this morning because birthday cupcakes are no longer allowed at school. Or juice boxes.

Cara said...

Hahaha I love this. Everything is basically Obama's fault. And the democraps. I think the pinterest thing is cute. You should also be following Honey Boo Boo- she is kind of hilarious and another reason I love TLC (you should probably also start watching "My teenager is pregnant and so am I").

sarah said...

Oh sad! I loved your blog until the politics came out. I am a die hard liberal Obama fan. Sorry :(

Michelle said...

$100! HOLY CRAP

Taylor Wolfe said...

I hate it when people know I have a heart as well. That's definitely Obama's fault. And I confess: OMG! Every day a large majority of my traffic always seems to come from your page. So thanks for that.

Myranda said...

I firmly believe everything can be blamed on Obama ;)

stacey said...

I blame everything on Obama too....

Amy said...

Can I blame my lack of weight loss on Obama too? Kcoolthanks.

Annabelle said...

This stupid girl at McDonald's pissed me off this weekend about Obama! I was ordering my kid a Happy Meal and order him chocolate milk. She then told me "We no longer sell Chocolate Milk because Obama said it's unhealty". I shrugged it off and ordered him apple juice, but by the time we got our food and left, I was PISSED! So since I was so pissed, I called the store to ask for a manager to find out why they had no chocolate milk! She then told me they were just out of stock. Ugh I was mad! I told her she needed to let that cashier know she had no right to tell me that! In the words of Stephanie Tanner, "HOW RUDE!"

Kait said...

I woke up with a sinus infection..and that is DEFINITELY Obama's fault.

Ash said...

your feelings on the parking cart non returning assholes of america? my thoughts, exactly.. and for the d-bags driving around when they could save time AND get some extra walking in...

bionicdee said...

Sarcasm is my favorite meal of the day. I love Gunner's mohawk that's awesome. LOL now you're one of "those moms" well could be worse least you don't have a kiddie leash on him....or are you hiding one in the closet. Btw, I would throw stuff at the dog too but knowing my luck I'd grab it's chew toy and then I'm sure it would think I wanna play now.

Lora said...

holy hell.. that kid is cute. does he like older women? i've got two daughters......

Jamie said...

Sign or not, you'll never be one of "those" moms. I love the sign thing though. Cute. PS, watching Dr Phil right now. Holler.

Amanda Nicole said...

I love people who have common sense when it comes to Obama. That sign idea is so cute. It totally doesn't make you one of "those moms" though.

Michaela {au naturel design} said...

OMG...I love the blame Obama. I can't believe you did the Pinterest sign. I would have loved to hear you explain your reasoning behind it. At least it turned out super cute. How could it not, right.

Christina @My Life, Laughs, and Love said...

hahaha raven, i'm dying (as per usual). everything can be obama's fault - fine by me!!

and I cannot get over how adorable your boys are. they will definitely have the ladies ALL over them someday (if they don't already? hee hee). it's cute that you were a little "that mom"ish - adorable :) happy hump dayyy

Aleyta said...

You mean you didn't watch the first lady's farewell speech? :)

elizalouise.bell said...

I am not political at all, but gosh you're hilarious.
And its okay if you're one of "those moms"
you are also one of those "hot moms"
its also okay that you haven't lost weight. giiiirl you look good.

i couldn't help but wonder...

Alisa Marie said...

That pic with your little boy is cute :) I haven't even tried to lose weight, I fell off the bandwagon the second day. OOPS!

Chelsea said...

EVERYTHING is Obama's fault in my opinion. ;-)

HK said...

Ahh, love it.
Isn't everything Obama's fault?

Brandi said...

Obama's fault!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

Brandi said...

You should do a link up......Obama's Fault link up!!! HEHE!!!! FUNNY!!!

Alana Christine said...

If the world ends in 2012, it'll definitely be Obama's fault!

Raquel said...

hahaha it's Obama's fault lol

Tiffany @ Austin Family Diary said...

Bah thank you for being you! I get so sick of listening to the dems praise Obama EVERY.SINGLE.DAY at work---it's nauseating. And those people that don't return the carts--I secretly wish that they get a door ding every time I see someone just prop it up on the curb. So annoying!

Megan said...

haha You ALWAYS make me laugh!!

I LOVE those pics of G-Man and will forgive you for being "that" mom because I have turned into "that" mom every time I thought I never would!

(and we will keep your secret that you have a heart!!) ;)

-Emily- said...

Hahaha!! Everything is Obama's fault. I'm so glad someone else feels that way!

Chelsea said...

Truly hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh :-)

Rebecca Jaffe said...


Obama is an asshat.

Ms. Cathy said...

What a great read. I laughed my little butt off. Great way to make a post fun to read! OMG - - honey boo boo child..ew.

Janna Renee said...

I can't believe Gunner is going to school! That is just too much!!

Amy W. said...

its ok im that mom too ;))

Miss Caitlin S. said...

oh man, I don't blame any Mom for crying at things like that. When I worked at a daycare when I was a young buck, ALL the Moms cried at the beginning of the year. I just have always assumed that it will happen to me too.

You know what the worse job in the world would be? Gathering those carts at night in the winter- I always see those kids and think 'you poor souls!'.

I'm ready for the Fall weather too basically so I can spend my weekends sitting on the couch guilt-free. When it's sunny, I feel like my fat @ss has to get up.

Alicia Marie said...

Obama just ruins everythinggggggg.

Kelly { MessyDirtyHair } said...

gunner looks adorable! so freaking cute! ew it is so obamas fault for everything! i couldn't even go on twitter or facebook last night bc it was filled with happy crap about HIM....god i hope we win.

Kenzie Smith said...

Gunner's outfit is so cute! I love that he wants to be Superman when he grows up :D

Judy said...

YOU have emotions? Sound the alarm.

Kristen said...

I'm glad I stumbled across your blog.. You're hilarious!!

Allie said...

My new favorite Raven post!! Love you!

Jessyka said...

Bahahaha! I am dyeing right now!!!! Love how it's all Obama's fault! I so needed this laugh, because this political thing is getting crazy! Which is all Obama's fault! Ha!

Every time I try to recreate one of my super awesome Pinterest ideas, they never turn out the same! Not even the cute first day of school pictures! Damn Obama!

Might as well, can't dance... said...

Epic comments on fun post... If my son loses his football game - I should probably blame NOMOBABA...

Linnea said...

This is the best post I've read in a while. Everything is Obama's fault. I saw some jack ass the other day who had a bumper sticker that said " I love Obama Care". WTF.

Jen said...

Maybe Obama could get something done if the republican congress didn't keep cock blocking him.

Raven Smith said...

doubt it.

Elizabeth M said...

I'm so tired of the election stuff, and it's definitely all Obama's fault.
Loving all of these comments! haha

Also, your little one has the cutest little mohawk, love the pics!

Taylor said...

Anyone who can find a way to blame the weather on Obama is a darn good woman in my book. You may just bemy new favorite blogger...
