Oh lordie, I am itching to

Oh lordie, I am itching to go there LOL

I know my husband sneaks a peek at my blog (he doesn't understand how site stats work *snicker*) He was upset a long time ago when I wrote about some personal stuff involving him (It's OK if I flame the kids LOL) so I promised I wouldn't say anything negative about him or his job or our marriage. I imagine I am going to be in trouble if he reads my rant about the war, but I was r-e-a-l-l-y pissed LOL

I've often thought about starting an "anonymous wife" blog - so glad someone did! Big thanks to the creators!

This could really make him squirm

Good stuff. Maybe I'll post a confession, then send my dh to the site and have him guess which one is mine. He'll go positively insane. {evil smile}

Oh. My. God.

It's like Postsecret, only more efficient. And meaner. I love it!

My Dirty Little Secret

Karen Rani — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 07:08:00 -0500

I just submitted mine - and since my husband doesn't read BlogHer, here it is:

When I want to go out with a girlfriend, last minute, and you happen to have last minute plans as well, I act as though I told you weeks earlier, so I get my way. Half the time you don't listen to me anyway, or you forget about plans, so my convincing act always gets me out of the house.

Some of those other ones made me howl with laughter. being the evil bitch I am, and all. ;)
Great post, Mary!

That's my favorite line! Oh, man. That's good.

Wife Confessions

OMG I haven't laughed that hard in ages. Thank you for pointing that one out, I can't wait to read more! Can it be that we are all the same - I fear I can identify with way too many of those!

Blog No Evil but Confession... That's Another Story

Contributing Editor Mary Tsao also blogs at Mom Writes.

If you're like me, the only people you can count on reading your blog are also the same people you want to blog about. Yes, that would be my mom, my mother-in-law, and my husband.

Love you guys!

In all seriousness, sometimes I desperately want to blog about whatever silly, stupid thing is pissing me off about my marriage at the moment. I treat my blog like a call to my best girlfriend and yet I've made a promise to my husband that I won't air our dirty laundry. And sometimes? That rule frustrates the hell out of me.

Enter True Wife Confessions. "What your wife wishes she could tell you...or not."

Apparently Dawn from I am doing the best I can and The Gimlet Eye feels my pain, because she's started a new blog that allows wives like me to get out what I need to get out without risking the sanctity of my marriage. Or at least without breaking that stupid promise I made when I started my mommy blog. Thank you, Dawn.

You certainly don't have to be a wife or even a wife with a confession to read True Wife Confessions. But if you are then you will nod your head knowingly at much of what is written there.

Sometimes it's the little things about our spouses that drive us the most crazy:

Confession #014

I hate dancehall music. I just donâ€™t get the appeal for you. But I have smiled as you have played it for a long ass time.

Confession #016

Yes, I washed the chicken. I have been rinsing the chicken for 15 years. You do not have to ask me EVERY TIME if I have washed the god damn chicken. If my plan were to give you salmonella, it would have happened a long time ago.

Sometimes we have deep dark secrets that have haunted us for years:

Confession #003

Your electronic organizer? The one you loved in 1998? Yeah. That didn't fall out of your car and get run over by your tire. I washed and dried it in the laundry , then tried to get you to think you'd done it by wedging it under your tire, in the rain.

Confession #025

When you go out of town, I throw away all the clothes that don't fit you anymore that I think are ugly or out of style. I've been doing this for years and you've never caught on.

And sometimes we are PISSED OFF:

Confession #023

On your day off, when you leave the dirty dishes in the sink for me to wash when I get home from work, I really want to bash your head in with the frying pan you used to make bacon.

oh, and your pants do not look good when you wear them pulled up to your chin.

If you are married, you no doubt have something to confess. So if you can't wait until Sunday, head over to Dawn's. She's asking no questions, passing no judgement, and--as she puts it--"confession is good for the soul."
