Edited since TB sucks & is making this crap into a movie.

I really really really loathe my boss and one particular co worker. I am the "nice" girl that smiles though and nobody would ever suspect inside I'm cussing them for all they are worth.

I HATE that I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing. My boss is genuinely a uneducated person. Not malicious. Just lazy and uneducated. REALLY effing dumb and really effing lazy.Excuse maker worse than any 4 yr old you have ever met.

The CoWorker is bat shit crazy and likes me (which scares me). She is the most negative person I've ever met. I am happy to have someone vent but that is ALL she does day in and day out.

MY FFFC..I want to throat punch both of them and run away from this job and never look back. The job is fine...it is THEM that make this place actual work for me.

I just called and got set up with a therapy place for anxiety and depression. I've been struggling with crippling anxiety, depression and scary intrusive thoughts. I tried two different meds that both made things worse. Im scared and I'm afraid I'm crazy. Im praying this is the help I need because 8 cant go on like this.

I've been home with PJ all week because she has an epic cold, complete with congestion. I started feeling crummy yesterday but I'm playing it up and milking it for all it's worth. DH let me sleep in, took all the kids to school, and took PJ with him to his office so that I can "rest and get better". My happy, lazy ass is laying on the couch watching old Wings reruns, eating leftover sloppy joes and doing some online shopping....

Playing hooky is not just for kids.

Whenever my baby falls and starts crying (trying to walk, getting into everything) my SS immediately runs for him. It drives me crazy because my immediate instinct is omg get out of my way my baby. But I should be glad he is such a loving brother

My bosses husband does mortgage loans but I don't want to use him for our new house because I don't want him to see my Dh's debt. It's no big deal and shouldn't be embarrassing but it is. I pretty much have to use him so I have to get over it or make up an amazing excuse

This is in no way flameful. I hope that you can find a good fit for you!

My FFFC: we have dipped into the money that is set aside for the bathroom remodel by a couple hundred $$ and I keep telling DH that we have GOT to reign in our spending. It's getting ridiculous. Yet here I sit seriously contemplating spending $12 on a lunch that I know I won't be able to eat all of it.

I'm working from home on this rainy day and I may or may not have taken a 2 hour nap as a lunch break.

I said something kind of dumb the other day...

We were going to a friend's house for dinner, and I was in charge of dessert.  I planned on making brownies, but my mom brought over a box of cookies from Panera.  SD was helping me, so I asked if we should just take the cookies instead of making brownies.  She said we should bring both.

I looked at her and said, "I KNEW you were my kid!"

Then immediately I was thinking WTF did I just say?!

SD thought it was hilarious, but I was praying she didn't decide to tell her mom or anything.  Me and my big mouth.

I guess if you have a bad relationship with BM I can see why you'd worry about this, but I think it's ADORABLE that you said this. 

My confession: we have SOs two boys an extra day this weekend because of a school holiday, and I was really annoyed when I found out. Mostly because he didn't plan well and only told me the day before (I like to plan ahead!). I completely dread most weekends we have them because I know they won't be relaxing at all. Three boys under 10 in the house! Who can relax with that noise/mess? And I feel bad for dreading it, because it's not like I don't like the kids. I just find those weekends exhausting. 

Then once they get here it's always fine, and I get over it.

I don't find this at all flameful.  Hell, I've said this to K before and never thought twice about it.  I consider her to be one of my kids.  I'm responsible for supporting her, teaching her wrong from right, raising her to be a good human being... I would be in no way offended if SM said that to my kids.  Like it or not, SM's and SF's are shaping these kids and having influence over them in some areas.  Plus, I'm sure it made SD feel really good to hear you say that.

@SimpleJane: I hope things get better for you!

I'm on a similar page as @jobalchak and @Lavender P: DS had a temperature yesterday, so I'm staying home with him and don't have to work. No one wishes for a sick child but...he's the perfect sick right now: not in pain, no fever, but calmer and more cuddly.  We have walked the dog on this perfect sunny day, he's now playing with his cars and trucks, and I know he will go down for a long nap.  As will I. I ran over 15mi the last 2 days (training for a race), so his illness could not have come at a better time! 

Of course I hope he feels 100% soon.  But I'll take calm and cuddly for today.

@andrea99 first, I find that in no way flameful. Second, she'll have a hard time telling BM since, ya know, BM has "better" things to do than spend time with SD.

SD was whining about not being with her mom on Halloween AGAIN.  So I told DH to offer her the holiday, knowing she'd turn it down.  She did.  I really want to tell SD that her mom said no.  I know I can't, but I really want her to understand that we're not the bad guys here.

I would so want to. I would almost say do it, but that would hurt SD and make her feel like crap instead of showing her that her mom is crap. Ugh.

I eat like crap and I've gained weight and I hate myself for it. I yo yo diet and I get skinny just to gain 20 lbs. This time I just can't commit to going on a diet. I got a job and I use my tip money to eat out every day for lunch and then hide the trash so DH doesn't see it.

Going out of town this weekend with a girlfriend to visit another girlfriend who lives on the beach in Laguna Beach. Taking a secret stash of money with me and preparing to blow it all on myself...and it's not pocket change. Girl time!

A day late...

Thursday I took my MIL's puppy to work for her last round of shots, and I FINALLY talked her into spaying her. And I got it done that day before she cited change her mind. I may or may not have exaggerated some of the statistics I gave her on the health benefits of having her spayed. All of the benefits of being spayed I talked about are true, but I may have exaggerated the percentages by which risk increases without spaying. And I painted horrible, terrible pictures of the absolute worst case scenarios if conditions that could have been avoided if the patient had been spayed.

And now a co worker is getting married this afternoon, but it is raining, it's an hour away, and I'm lazy. I'm going to find some excuse not to go. And I really am going to feel terrible about it.

Ok. I lied. I am at my friend's wedding after all. Lol
