- I've been known to tuck toys under the couch instead of picking them up. Makes for less mess the next day, and Hana gets all excited when I finally dig them out months later.
- The TV is on for hours a day. There used to be no tv at all, but that was before the second child was born.
- I bribe Hana with my computer when I want a few minutes to myself.
- Eli's laundry doesn't really get folded, just folded in half once so it's not a complete mess when I throw it in his drawer.
- I get Ben to pick up take-out when my day doesn't leave me enough time to think about planning a meal, let alone cook one.
- I leave my browser open to my favorite sites so I can feel like I have time to read things that interest me, and to make it quicker to actually read them while Hana is distracted by above mentioned TV.
- Crackers, cheese and pickles sometimes passes as lunch.
- I keep Hana naked from the waist down most of the day and put her in a disposable for her nap so I have less diapers to wash.

I love you.
You go Steph. In many, many years when I have kids I'm sure I will be making similar confessions. The best part is that your kids won't remember having cheese and crackers for lunch, but the love and attention you are putting into them will form their character and last forever.
