I confess.

It's been a while since we've had a good confession here on lazy mom, so I thought I'd break the akward silence and get you guys confessing again....

For the past three days there has been a horrible smell in my house.  It was coming from the vacinity of the sink.  It could have been the 357 dirty dishes that were sitting in it, but I just couldn't bring myself to tackle it.  Until today.  We walked in the house from church and BAM!  That pungent, you-haven't-done-the-dishes-all-week smell hit me right in the stomach and I knew something had to be done.  So I sent my oldest son into the kitchen to load the dishwasher. 

There.  I confess.  I confess that I haven't done the dishes.  I confess that my house stinks to high heaven because of it.  And yes, I confess that I made my oldest little darling do the dirty work. 

Now doesn't that make you feel like a better mom?  Good.  Keep that warm fuzzy feeling going and share your confessions with us so other moms can feel better about themselves too.  Just click on the link above that says "Submit a Confession" to find out how.

Makes my life easier

As a lazy mom we all need things that help us make our lives a bit easier. Today I thought I'd give a shout out to something that does just that.

Behold.

The Crockpot.

Totally makes my life easier.  At least when I remember to use it.

Whoever invented the crock pot should get like a million bonus points for sure.
So lazy moms, what's something that makes your life easier?

Lazy Mom Dinner

Okay. I'll admit it. I served up a VERY lazy dinner for my kids last night. But before I admit what I did, I do want to inform you that I did cook healthy, well-balanced meals the four other nights of the week, so don't judge me from this one meal.

Hear me?  Don't. Judge.

Besides, here at I'm a Lazy Mom, we pride ourselves on being real moms with real schedules and we aren't afraid to confess our shortcomings. 

As I'm sure you've all forgotten (because I had) a long time ago we lazymoms instituted a new and exciting feature on this here blog. 

Whoa. 

Did you catch that?

My Texan talk just came out. 

I moved away from my homeland of Texas over 11 years ago and I've pretty much lost most of my accent, but every once in a while a nice little phrase will pop back out like a long lost friend.  Helloooo!

But anway, our feature on this here blog (said in my best Texas girl accent) was a little thing we liked to call "Cooking the Lazy Mom Way."  I know, I know.  The title is a work of art.  Along with all the other titles and names we have on this here blog. Because we are too lazy, er, I mean busy, to come up with cutsie clever names for this here blog.  [Alright, I'll stop with that.]

So that brings me to dinner last night.  I was being lazy, uh, busy, rather and noticed that it was already 6:00 and I hadn't started any dinner.  I looked at three hungry faces and knew in an instant (because I'm that good) that I had about 5 minutes to get something on the table before major hunger meltdowns occured.

I took a quick 30 second gander of the pantry and refrigerator.  And then inspiration hit.  BAM!  Just like that. 

Frito Pies. 

I just happened to have everything I needed for this very complicated dinner.  Let me show you....

So I thought I'd share my last minute dinner with you because, after all, it does meet all the requirements of cooking the lazy mom way.

So basically, here's what you do.... and pay close attention because this is VERY complicated and I'd hate for you to mess this up.

Step 1: Heat up the chili in the microwave.
Step 2: While the chili is heating up, pour the fritos into a bowl.
Step 3: Remove chili from microwave.
Step 4: Spoon chili over fritos.
Step 5: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chili and fritos.
Step 6: Eat it.

Phew.  I hope you caught all of that.  I told you it was complicated.

The end result will look like this: (yes, I know that the picture is sideways, but this is cooking the lazy mom way, not, Pioneer Woman Cooks.)

Shout Out!

Okay, I think these are SO. STINKIN'. CUTE. and I want like 100 of them right now this minute.

The blog I'm directing you to belongs to my cousin's wife.  She's gorgeous, funny, a fellow pastor's wife, and crafty!  Pretty much the whole package.  And probably not a lazy mom.  But I'll look past that oversight to give her a shout out today! 

Check out her other cute crafts on the rest of her blog.

Shameful

Wow, the lazymoms on this sight have been downright LAY-Z!  I mean, come on lazymoms.  What are you doing all day?  Can't you squeeze one more minute out of your day and post something for crying out loud?! 

Sheesh! 

I'm glad I'm not responsible for this shamefulness.

Not one bit responsible. 

Not a bit. 

At all.
