I'm not at all excited about becoming a SAHM.

I worked really hard to get myself through undergrad and graduate school. Then I landed my current job when even my own parents told me I wasn't qualified enough and I have done extremely well. But DH is in the military and we are moving. I'm really sad that I have to quit my job.

Gasp! That's one of my favorite movies. My DH hates it though, so he puts up a fight whenever I suggest watching it.

That's really hard. Are there just no job options in your new location? I think most branches also have some kind of spousal assistance with usajobs.gov job listings. I mean, it only took them 8 months to offer me a position that didn't match any of my criteria. But it's there.

I don't care for Beyonce. The morning radio station I listen to on the way to work was talking about her new album today, and apparently everyone and their brother love Beyonce. Not me.

on a urine-related note, yesterday i peed myself a little when i sneezed for the first time. is there someplace i can acquire a new piece of flair?

also, i am pretty methodical about only washing my hair every other day or so just because it's what seems to work best for me.  however, i ALWAYS need to ensure a hair wash day falls on a Thursday night because the client i work with on Friday morning has crazy dragon breath that is unbearable in the car....like, there are few things in the world more offensive than this breath.  So, with my heightened smell, i shove a chunk of fresh hair in front my nose when he is talking.

I have no intention of taking the entire year of maternity leave. I really love my job, I love my co-workers and I am very dedicated to my job, the thought of not working for an entire year has been a great stress factor for me. Therefore I have decided to take 7 months and return to work after the holidays next year (unless a problem arises with getting a spot at daycare). This does not mean I don't care about being a mother, I just feel as though I need a healthy balance. Everyone I talk to says “oh just wait, you will see, you will want the entire year” or “you won’t want to go back to work after 7 months”. They don’t understand that not all women think the same way! The only person that understands me and who doesn't try to change my mind and completely supports my decision is my MIL, who decided to go back to work after 2 months (granted at the time, they had 6 months mat leave I believe).

I feel like a year would be glorious, except that at the end of the year my going back to work brain might have turned into pudding, which would make the back-to-work transition even more difficult.  I say congrats on having the option of so much time at home, and do what you feel is right for you and your family.

I was DONE after 4 months last time, like soo ready to be back at work. Being a SAHM would be like a living nightmare for me.

I peed in the shower yesterday. I had gone just before I got in the shower then felt like I had to go again. I knew it would be just a little tinkle and didn't want to get out and drip all over the floor so I let it rip. Then I cleaned the tub.

Omg yes!!! You just sealed the deal on the bump crush I have on you lingering from yesterday's UO...not to be a total creep or anything haha.

Paul Rudd is like a fine wine, just keeps getting better and better. His humor is so cute too

Did you watch the recent SNL that he hosted? He's so awesome.

My FFFC is that I hate Kanye. I think he is a pompous, self-righteous, idiotic fool who runs his mouth. The fact that he and Kim are getting married didn't help his case. His latest comments about going up on stage being akin to being a police officer or in a war just sealed the deal. There will never be a song of his catchy enough for me to think differently of him or buy anything that comes from him (and I'm not one of those people to boycott businesses/people/products for many reasons).

Ugh, I totally agree. Could he be more entitled?

I am having a sex reveal party next weekend and I'm really friggin' excited about it! I know a lot of ladies here think it's tacky and AWish, but I don't care. While I was going through my second loss, a friend of ours had hers. I side-eyed the shit out of her then, but it was mostly just jealousy and bitterness. Now it's my turn, damnit! And I'm going to have this party (which 30-40 people are coming to and more keep WANTING to be invited) because I've worked hard to get here and deserve it! Flame away! :P

Atleast you know the difference between sex and gender! Yay!

And no flame here because my friends begged me to do one. But I just wasn't interested. So more people than most think, are actually interested in their friends or family's little one's private parts...

I had mcdonalds yesterday and Burger King today. Does the mcdonalds count if I threw it up?

I asked my husband the same thing yesterday! "Well that didn't count because I threw it up rigghhhttt?" Pssshhh, women are odd. Really freakin odd.

My husband has a huge man crush on Paul Rudd.

Mine does, too. I think it became fully realized after the "slapping the base" scene in I Love You, Man.

I pee in the shower every time.  Is this not normal?  

I'm full of confessions today.  I forgot how much I hate my husband when I'm pregnant.  I seriously  could have killed him last night. 

I'm really excited to send one of my horses out for training and to be sold.  Yes, I've had her since she was born and I'm really attached, but one less horse to work/clean/feed/blanket/worry about on a daily basis is looking damn good. 

I feel like I'm getting sick and the extra tiredness is making my patience non existent. Between my parrot screaming at me all morning (because he wants out of his cage..though he knows he doesn't come out until I get back from the barn) and Miles's new discovery of "Why?" (Why what??? There is nothing to be questioning right now!) I'm about to jump in the lake.

I washed my hair yesterday. FFFC because I can't remember the last time I washed it before that.

That felt like a knife to the heart.

Seriously! Kitchen, get thee in front of Netflix and start watching AD immediately.

Sorry to bring it up, but my confession stems from the BF debate yesterday.

I did not BF my first son, I was not aware just how difficult it would be and I gave up pretty quickly. Day 2 in hospital done, and he was FF.

DS 2 I was more prepared, and I did BF him until he weaned himself at 11 months old.

My confession is...I HATED breastfeeding. I did not get that warm fuzzies that other moms talk about when they BF their babies. We bonded just fine, he's a total mommas boy. My first is not, he connects better with DH. The reason I kept up with BF was mostly for financial reasons. Formula is just so expensive over time. And also because 'breast is best' (which I HATE that saying, doesn't sit right with me). I was relieved when DS weaned early (which I assume is because my milk changed when I became PG?!)

FTR: I will BF again with this baby, if able.

DH's idea of seduction is reenacting that scene. I roll my eyes but it's kinda cute.

Um, this is flame worthy? I thought this was normal behavior. I pee in the shower all. the time. Whoops!

Also, I ate an ENTIRE pie in one sitting. I know. It's so shameful. I had a hard time typing that.

- I have a huge aversion to poop. I am about to have baby number three. You'd think I would be okay with it by now. I would save a lot on wipes if I wasn't such a freak about it. I pull out about ten wipes out before I even open the diaper up for a mess that DH could get with one. It's ridiculous. I'm not even a prissy bitch afraid of getting dirty. I couldn't tell ya what it is.

I've spent more time this morning checking my own medical record for my glucose tolerance results then I have working. FX that they are
ready after lunch

And a random with all the April birth talk...makes me think about diamonds (their birthstone)

odd because I'm not a big jewelry person and think push presents are ridiculous. but it could help with an awesome present at some point! DD was due in July the same as DH, FIL and SIL. Aside from having to be induced, I was secretly excited that not only was her birth month more special for her, but June is pearl which is awesome compared to ugly Ruby. And I'm allowed to judge because my birthday is August and peridot is nasty

HA!

And on the horse front...I hear you.  I feel so guilty that my ONE hasn't been really worked in 3 or 4 weeks.  She's 20 this year, so I need to keep her moving, but between the weather, travel and me feeling a tad bit lazy these days I haven't done more than a few sessions on the lunge (and I tried ground driving the other day! ... that was...interesting!).  I know she certainly doesn't mind the time off, but every day she doesn't get worked, I want to put off getting on a little longer as she is going to be a bit fresh!  I'm contemplating paying to have her worked for the next week.  Boo.

If I were you, I wouldn't feel one bit guilty sending yours off to the trainer.  I can barely keep up with the one.  It will be interesting to see what she does from now until May...

Ummm...I'm arranging for 6 months of maternity leave.  I'm already sitting here thinking, "Ummm...yeah right. Home with two kids 24/7 for 6 months?"  I'll probably go back after 4 or 5.

I'm taking 4 months, but I'm planning on having DD in daycare :-O She loves it, we have to pay regardless, and that way I get dedicated snuggle time with LO#2 and the ability to nap/sleep etc. People IRL are side eyeing me, and I don't care! She definitely won't be there for as long of days as she would be if I was at work, but I am taking her their daily.

OK cat piss sufferers, I've got two easier answers for you.  We lost a cat a couple of years ago to kidney problems and at the end he was just pissing on everything.

Stuff you can throw in the washer: add a pint of vinegar to your wash.  A scoop of Oxyclean seals the deal.  Don't put anything in the dryer unless you're sure the smell is out.  Do this twice if you need to.

Carpet/upholstery: Soak the spot in vinegar, right down to the carpet padding.  Let it sit for about 15 minutes, then sprinkle liberally with baking soda.  Let it dry, vacuum it up.  Finish with Nature's Miracle (Best) or Oxyclean (OK).  A SpotBot works really well for this.

All of my greatest pees happen in the shower.

Me too!  I thought I was the only one.  I hate getting any on my hands, so once a wipe is a little dirty I need a new one (in case it folds around and gets me, or wipes back off on my son again).  I always use at least three.  Somehow, my husband can do even the dirtiest diaper with three maximum.

My FFFC : I don't get why all the awesome May ladies are hating on the awesome April ladies. Since I'm due the 3rd I hang out on the A14 boards too, and they rock! There's bumpy fun to be had all over the place.
Cue "stand together, right noooow..."

Agreed. I don't get the need to label other boards as "crazy". Although I had to bite my tongue when reading, like @IBackBevo mentioned, that they were saying we effing harassed child swatter lady on her Facebook wall. No need to make shit up just to have something to say about other people; that thread had plenty to flame that actually happened.

I can't stay away from the Sandy Hook anniversary coverage. I'm not going to be able to sleep for a week. I do the same thing every September 11th. Stupid.

Slightly off topic, but speaking of that lady... she is back. I just did some internet sleuthing and that new screen name is her. So that's fun.

Eh, they call themselves the Mean Girls and went flag happy on a regular Baby Shower Board poster for having the audacity to tell them the standard etiquette of baby showers.  I'm happy staying on the May board.

I'm probably more sad than I should be about not being able to be on here much in the coming months due to tax season I had a taste of it the last two days while at tax school but I'm seriously bummed cause I feel like I'm gonna miss all the good stuff. I don't get on here much at night so I feel like I'll be bowing out here soon once it gets crazy hectic.

Steming from all the talk this week about porn style boobs, my confession today is for DH lol. A nurse gave me a breast exam on Monday at my OB appointment and DH totally admitted it turned him on lol. Last time he gets to stay in the room for that!!
