Petara's Prerogative

I wish the delivery man would come before my husband got home from work and gave me enough time to put my items away and get rid of the packaging.

I tell my husband that I have ordered my own Christmas gifts, so he shouldn't get me anything.  I do this so I won't be questioned when I'm getting packages delivered while he is home on vacation.  He knows Sephora, Aveda and Clarins are not delivering toys.

I go through my kid's Halloween candy and take out the candy I want and hide it for myself.  If they notice, I tell them I saw daddy do it.

I laugh at my son when he runs.  He swears he is faster than anyone and is a great athlete, but my son runs like an old man.  He reminds me of Fred Sanford.  He could care less what I say.  He has all the confidence in the world.  I am glad all my kids have lots and confidence and a good sense of humor.

I buy discounted, damaged plants at Lowe's.  I like to see if I can save them.  I've done pretty well so far.

I don't believe in sugar coating.  I will always be honest.  Sometimes, the truth hurts, but you asked me, so I am telling you.

I'm nosey.  If you leave your windows wide open, I will look and see how everything is decorated in your home.  I will also smile and wave as I do it.  I have no shame.
