Early AM FFFC

I'm at work with some confessions ready so I'm gonna go ahead and spill!
It pisses me off when low acuity patients in the hospital are so self centered that they seem to think they are the only patient their nurse is assigned to. The funny part is, it never seems to be the patients that need care the most that have thy mindset, in my experience it is the people that will be discharged in a day and will go on to be perfectly healthy. It makes me so sad when a patient with a greater need than another ends up on the back burner for lack of a better expression because the other patient is more high maintenance. People that aren't in a hospital environment every day would be shocked by just how common this is. Flame away.

Re: Early AM FFFC
OK...so DH had mentioned a while back about everyday he comes home I am in "mommy mode" (no make-up, jammies, hair bonnet..blah blah). Ok so I got his point because I'm still a wife as well as a mother and I would still like to be seen as at least semi-sexy while I work on getting my pre-preggo body back.
So now I freshen up about 30 minutes before he's due home everyday...make sure the bed is made and the kitchen is clean and all the vital things are taken care of. He used to text me to let me know he's on his way home as an FYI...this always gave me the heads up if I was running behind on "the freshening up". Well lately he's been coming home a little early and not even giving me the heads up so he's been catching me "unfreshened"(if that's a word) and it's been ticking me off!
If you're gonna complain about me being in "mommy mode" all the time at least give me the heads up when you'll be home early.I refuse to go around the house all day cleaning and washing and folding undies and onesies looking "cute" just in case he comes home early. Since I decided to be a SAHM, "mommy" is my all day role until he gets home....If he's going to complain about how I look when he gets home, he can at least have the decency of letting me know he's coming home early so I can be in "wife" mode before he gets home...or else STFU about my make up free face and jammies! Ugh!
i am picturing what the mennonite and amish women wear lol
although, i'm sure that's not what she's referring to.
I think it's super important not to lose yourself when you're a mom so that's why I still get out and about plenty [ie.. Clothed and made up!] but that's not important to me if I'm not going anywhere.
That goes to show how different we all are! [im on mobile so pretend I have a smiley face here].
This is me exactly.
I started working from home a year before getting pregnant, so I went from being super dressed up every day to wearing pajamas or sweatshirts and jeans every day. DH commented on it once way back then, about how he missed seeing me all dressed up all the time, but he had the sense to not say anything once I got pg and would still be in pajamas when he got home, and definitely not now when I'm lucky to get a shower in every other day (sometimes less than that).
I do go out at least two or three times a week though and do make sure I look nice and clean and everything then. But when I'm at home with a baby who spits up all over me all day (and I change my shirt 6 times a day), no way am I going to put on a nice outfit and do my hair nice only to have it messed up seconds later. But to each her own

I wore an 11 year old sorority shirt to the gym the other day. LOL
DH asked why I was so dressed up yesterday when he came home. I had a maxi dress on and I had gone to a lunch. So funny that a maxi dress is considered dressed up for me now.
I could have written this myself, haha.
I replied to this after looking at a CD swap group while DD napped on me.... I didn't buy anything, though. I wanted to, but I didn't, haha.
No kidding! I had to make them stop showing up in my newsfeed, otherwise, I get sucked in.
Well, other than the local CD group. Not gonna pass up something I want without having to pay shipping costs.
Hi, I'm Jamie, and I'm addicted to online shopping and cloth diapers. Bad combination.
Yes, please explain.
FFFC: LO was so noisy last night (laughs while he sleeps) that we didn't get any rest at all! Therefore, I hit snooze 3 times and didn't shower before work today. I baby wiped the necessary areas and put on deodorant. I don't even care, it's Friday... finally!
Runner, I don't think you are supposed to do anything special to clean them so don't feel bad...it was probably just a random thing.
I also have an online shopping addiction, but it's for ridiculous baby flower headbands. I've already ordered 3 today!
I'd say we're still pretty tame compared to some other boards and their UO threads....
Ok soooo. I couldn't figure out how to post a pic but a hair bonnet for sleeping is what Laura and Mary Ingalls wore in Little House on the Prairie except its satin and it's mainly for either keeping your hair in place while you sleep as well as to prevent breakage in lieu of a satin pillow case.
I know it's ugly but sometimes I leave it on when I'm around the house.I don't even step out on my patio wearing it. But to make matters worse....it's leopard print.....LOL
Sadly, I actually had a maternity one. And I wore it. In public. Several times. Ok, many times.
And it definitely was not because I was working out.
Ok, my official FFFC is that for the past several weeks, my TV has been on pretty much all day. I have a very high maintenance two year old and PBS Kids is the only way I can take care of the baby, get things done and keep her semi-happy.
I can barely tolerate my FIL. Yesterday, when my 11 wo wasn't responding to him (?!) he started CLAPPING in his face. Loudly. I felt like screaming, "would you like someone clapping in your face?"
He wears nasty cologne and I immediately change AND bathe LO because I cannot stand my sweet baby smelling like that.
And. .... I have no idea what all the codes mean. LO DH and so on.
Ok, that's hilarious.
I don't own any of these, but this just made me smile! I think they're fine, but the ones that say juicy on the butt just kinda conjure up gross implications.
Oh man, the juicy apparel is worse!
THIS! This is far more petty, but last night I was feeding drunk patients left and right and I went almost 12 hours without eating. Oh, and was busy with baby before my shift and forgot to eat before I went in!
This. I think I may have to get pregnant again soon to justify all of my cloth purchases!
