Is It Wrong?

The seven deadly sins are wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony.  As I type these I'm overcome with the feeling, the truth, and a dark realization. In my daily life trying to be the best mommy, wife and me, I may momentarily practice more than one of these sins.  More so in thought than action.  But I gotta ask you, is it wrong?




Is it wrong that I curse(silently if my kids are with me) at people who can't drive? I scathingly critique people who cannot park to save their life. I rave at those who cross the street while paying no attention to traffic signals and their immediate surroundings. I've also been known to raise my voice the third time I have to tell my kids "NO, THERE WILL NOT BE A MIDNIGHT DANCE PARTY!!! GO. TO. BED!"

Is it wrong that I scour the clearance racks in the kids section at Target for items that my kids won't fit into until next year? Or that I but 3 of that hard to find Frozen doll because I have birthdays coming up and I just know the birthday girl will love it for at least 13 seconds? I've also been known to grab extra lollipops, you know the ones they give out for free at restaurants? I stow them in my purse to bribe my kids for a few extra minutes of quite during the car ride home.

Is it wrong that I absolutely at least once a day use the TV to entertain my kids so I can sit down for a second? Or when I sleepily hand my kids the iPhone to play games in bed with me so I can catch a couple extra minutes of sleep? I probably shouldn't be fondly remembering the pre-kids days of sleeping in until noon and no cartoons on the TV except for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Simpsons.

Is it wrong that I take that extra few minutes each morning to slap on some make up so I don't frighten the children at preschool drop off? Or try to pick out an outfit that has slightly less wrinkles than the one at the bottom of the hamper? Or how I maybe just take a selfie when I'm feeling extra fancy?

Is it wrong that I look forward to every single hard won moment alone with my hubby? Or that I look a little extra too long and hard at that Joe Manganiello magazine cover? I really should stop imagining that if a cop pulled me over, I'd brazenly dodge the ticket because of my low cut shirt(most likely from the Target clearance section) and a fluttering of my eyelashes.

Is it wrong that I have reached the point in my life that I honestly feel salty when my other mommy friends have the mini with the automatic sliding doors? Or that I absolutely covet another moms wardrobe and hair that's perfect everyday? I would give a few toes to have a six pack that wasn't light beer!

Is it wrong that I go get fast food on my own and eat it in my car so I don't have to share with McGrabbyHands(my son)? Or that I save my calories for a king sized Snickers? I also always use my Starbucks rewards for a venti iced frap with extra whip.  No, I wasn't planning on sharing it, so please stop looking at me and silently judging me barista!

So are these sins so deadly or just a bit of human nature?
