1. Sometimes I listen to songs only because they make me cry.
2. I haven’t made my husband dinner since before vacation. He’s living off of Frosted Mini-Wheats and Gobstoppers right now. No joking here.
3. I asked my niece to come help me at school tomorrow morning because there are tasks that need to be done but I really don’t want to do it. I told her I’d be there at 7:30 to pick her up. She told me she’d set her alarm for 6:00. What an overzealous ten year old.
4. On Sunday afternoon, I told my mom I wasn’t sure when the last time I washed my hair was. I had showered every day, but my hair was getting neglected. I calculated it was Wednesday. That would be approximately five days. #dontjudgeme #iswearitwasntagreasepit
5. I always underestimate how long things take to do at work.Not because I’m continually working, but because I’m too busy gabbing about inappropriate things with my co-workers.
6. I was going to make today a giveaway day, but then last night I got lazy and didn’t take the pictures. It will happen soon at an unexpected time. Be prepared. It’s going to be CHO awesome.

Haha, it happens. Sometimes I wonder what my husband would eat if I went on strike. I think he’d live off potato chips, blocks of cheese, and maaaaaybe pasta if he was feeling energetic.
haha - the funny thing is that the Husband totaaallllyy could cook for himself if he put his mind to it. He just goes on strike.
Hey chica! Can you do a post on your favorite lunches to bring to school. I’m a teacher too and every fall makes me motivated to pack healthy lunches and not go out!
I actually have one of those already! http://cleaneatingchelsey.com/2011/08/18/serious-lunch-packer/
As a hairstylist, I can tell you that you are doing your locks a favor by giving them a rest from shampoo!!! Healthy hair is happy hair!!:-)
wooohoo!!
I am guilty of the first one. Almost every. single. day.
Glad we’re on the same page.
Having an overzealous niece sounds like a good thing!
hahaa the funniest thing is that she’s totally NOT - which made it even cuter that she got super excited to come help me.
Oh man, if I don’t cook my husband dinner or tell him specifically what leftovers are in the fridge he’ll only ever eat a bowl of cereal or peanut butter toast. It’s so pathetic!
I hear you girl!
I WISH I didn’t have to wash my hair every day!
Try it! Maybe you won’t have to!
#1 is so me. My friends make fun of me to no end, but I like it. It’s like free therapy!
Agreed! Sometimes you just have to be a little emotional!
When I’m in a “mood,” I put on one of those songs that are sure to bring tears and go at it! I swear I always feel a million times better! Whatever works, right??
Every hair dresser I know recommends going as long as possible without washing your hair. The girl who did my hair recently goes minimum 7 days! It’s so much better for your hair! I’m jealous!
Woohoo! I did something good!
Wait a minute, doesn’t every girl do that? I mean, sometimes I’ll make a playlist of songs that I know will make me cry. Then I have it on hand any time I need to cry lol. All girls do this. Yes, I’m just going to state it like it’s a fact.
Good, we’re on the same page.
I think the #1 thing that took the husband the most to get used to when we got married was the fact that I don’t have to wash my hair every day. He showers twice a day and thinks its crazy that I don’t need to wash my hair! (in fact, my hair looks like crud if I wash it every day!)
As for listening to songs only to make you cry- I get it…. sometimes your body needs the release of a good cry. Hope things go great working at school!!!
twice a day? Dude is wasting some water!
Haha, I love your honesty!!:) And I agree the above commentator that giving your hair a rest from shampoo can be a great idea. In fact, I don’t even use shampoo anymore; instead I use a mix of baking soda and water (1 tablespoon of baking soda to 1 cup of water), followed by a mix of apple cider vinegar and water (1 tablespoon of vinegar to 1 cup of water). It works just as well as shampoo (for me, at least), and doesn’t have all the nasty chemicals that can be in some regular shampoos:) Of course, this may not work for everyone, but I love it!!
I’ve heard other people do that too - I don’t think I could give up the shampoo though!
I totally listen to sad songs just because they’re sad. I have a whole file in my iTunes devoted to songs with a melancholy melody. LOTS of instrumental, LOTS of teenage emo. LOL
haha I love that!
Just consider your hair to be well-conditioned now from all those natural healthy oils
That’s the story I tell myself, too.
haha - you should just tell yourself you’re on vacation!
1. Been there, done that.
I can’t wait for your Chobani giveaway
!
Coming tomorrow afternoon!
Oh have no shame… i don’t wash my hair every day. The hubs thinks it’s kinda gross, but i was told by my hair stylist before that it’s actually good not too shampoo daily. I’ve tried telling him this , but he just doesn’t believe it!!
I typically don’t wash it every day either - I’m an every other day kind of girl!
#1) I have done the exact same thing! I even do it with movies!
Me too - The Notebook? The only reason I pop that one in is to cry!
haha that’s so funny about the hair
I wash mine everyday only cause I feel so greasy if I don’t haha
My tip? Don’t put conditioner on your scalp!
Great post haha!:) can’t wait for the giveaway!
Thanks for giving me a smile.
Also, I only wash my hair about 2x/week. Its kind of awesome except I dread hair washing days because it adds so much time to my morning prep.
And finally…frosted mini wheats kind of rock so, you know, I’m sure its fine.
Love it!
Hahahaha love this. Good luck getting your room together and ready for the new year!
Thanks! Come HOMMMEEEEE.
Your honesty cracks me up. I’m never a judger
I’m sure your hair appreciated the break. And sometimes picture taking just has to wait. And don’t worry, my husband is like, “ugh, are we going to try and eat at home tonight” because I’ve been that girl that just doesn’t have it in her lately to cook decent meals. I also like using
‘and’ to start multiple sentences. Your niece is so prepared. I wish I was lol.
You’re allowed to not cook. You’re already cooking a baby.
Def. no judging from me - I’m one who can go a long time between hair washings. Oh, and what is CHO mean… is it code for something mysterious? Maybe short for Chobani? Or maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t know what it means, but whatever it is, I’m excited
You’ll see tomorrow afternoon!
I’m pretty sure you’re living inside my head right now. Its creepy…
I’m here to bring people together.
Haha, I also went a super long time before washing my hair last week…oopsy. At least no one noticed? I hope not, at least.
My sister is a hairdresser and says its good for the hair to breathe every now and again from all the greasy conditioner. So whatever.
Sometimes we just need to release our emotions, so feel free to cry through those songs!
No one would have noticed if I didn’t tell my mom or if I didn’t broadcast it to thousands - whatever, I’m over it. It actually felt really good!
You are hysterical. Butterfly Kisses? I sob every time.
Uhhhh! That one is the worst!!
I LOVE your honesty. I have been guilty of the hair thing also!!
Last week I picked a Chris Rice video of Come to Jesus to play during church. I cried watching it when I picked it out and then I cried again watching it in Church. The weird thing is I KNEW I WAS GOING TO CRY before it even started.Then I had puffy eyes for the rest of the service……I’m sure half the congregation thinks I have unconfessed sin or something/ UGH!
hahahaha! <3 you!
CHO awesome sounds fantabulous! And if I went 3 days without washing my hair it would be dripping with sweat…..
haha! Mine wasn’t dripping with sweat thankfully!
I think I’ve averaged one cooked meal a week all summer. It’s to the point I’m ready for home cooked meals again, just hoping these cooler temps stick around so I can turn the oven on again.
You and me both sister. I’m ready to get back into my school year mode.
Same here! We have one last vacation starting today and when we get back, it’s operation back to school mode.
I used to listen to songs just to make me cry when I was in middle school … my girlfriends and I would crank up the Boyz II Men or Mariah Carey, stare at the glow-in-the-dark stars on our ceiling, and cry about boys we liked.
I wish I was kidding.
haha I used to turn on B96′s (a radio station around here) Top 9 at 9 when I was going to sleep and cry to N’Sync songs.
Sometimes I cry at happy songs too, and I have no idea why. That and marathons. Sobfest!
haha apparently we’re all just an emotional mess!!
I wish I could go that long without washing my hair! I can go a max of 3 days without washing it before it gets gross.
And Frosted Mini Wheats are delicious! I wouldn’t mind eating those for dinner!
