I've waited long enough!

When I'm in a pinch and I'm out of razors and need to shave my armpits, I'll borrow one of Mr. Val's razors. I justify this a number of ways:

1. I only do it in a pinch.

2. My pits will smell if I don't shave them.

3. His razors do a way better job at shaving my pits than mine do.

4. I only shave after I've washed my armpits.

5. His face has been in way worse places on my body.

Growing up, I always wanted a Christmas tree. My neighbor and I used to pull a branch off of a pine tree in my back yard, tie ribbons around it, and put it on a table in the living room. We would also tape socks to the fire place and wrap nick nacks and put them in to open.

valstulas

@Liz4444 do you get a tree now?

No, DH is very anti. I did get one junior year in college. Also, at work years ago my secret Santa got me a fake tree and ornaments. I got rid of it when we moved.

valstulas

@Liz4444 this makes me sad for you

Grrrr. You suck. It's 5:30 here. This will be extremely long when I actually wake up.

Yeah. I just yawned. Good night. Play nice.

@jackson290721 blame Mr. Vals. He texted me that image this morning and I had to.

I'm trying to send him nut punches with my mind. Let me know if it works.

Wait for later. He's driving Owen to school right now. Once he's out of the car, go for it.

What?! Am I the first post?! I won't be by the time I'm finished writing this lol

Sooo... My face is fucking broken out like crazy and I'm fucking pissed about it. It's almost as bad as when I was in high school and it makes me bitter as fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. And my phone still doesn't know the word fuck so I actually have to be careful about how I type. FUCK! This is only a FFFC because it makes me more mad than it should. I might add more later.

I stayed home from school one day in HS because of a really big pimple. Clearly, I had a rep to protect.

I judged a lady hard yesterday when she said she has only been in a bookstore three times in her life and once was recently. She also does not go to the library. She is a dc provider and has two children of her own. I feel bad for her kids.

emmanemm

I started singing to M the other night, she slowly reached up and put her hand over my mouth. Thanks for the hint kid.

Are we the same person???
My FFFC:

I shaved my ass with Mr. Chunky's razor the other day.
1) I had washed my ass
2) my big razor with the creme bar around it wont get in that crevice
3) HE likes it shaved soooooo



Haha. I used the kitchen scissors to trim my pubes. Granted they are no longer kitchen scissors.

Every day when I see the roll call thread I sing the bring it on chant in my head.

"Roll call! Call me big red! W-w-w-whitney! C-C-c-courtney! Roar! Dude it's Darcy! I'm big bad Carver, yeah! Just call me Casey! IM STILL BIG RED!

Damn you, now that is stuck in my head... "We cheer and we lead, we act like we're on speed..."

Pink724

All this talk about pubes is making me gag.  The worst scene in the history of movies is in She's All That when they make the person eat the pizza slice with pubes on it.  Scarred for life.

Ditto but not Mr. Val's - my DH!

My FFFC - I have TERRIBLE road rage getting from work to DC. I started yelling in the car on Wednesday and realized it made me feel really good so now I'm yelling the whole way there. I'm fine after I get her. I have mentally pictured pushing cars in front of me to get the F out of the way. I flash my lights and honk my horn if they are going 10+ below the speed limit. I have a problem. I think DH may have to start picking her up. Damn it work for not adjusting my schedule!

I am the same way! I keep telling DH that we need to buy a bigger truck so I can run people off the road!

There was one time that I flipped off and cut some guy off when I was in my early twenties. I was on my way home from my moms house and lived out in the boonies at the time. The man tailgated me for 30 minutes all the way back to the ranch that I lived at. And I was hauling ass the whole way home. He actually pulled into the drive way. My boyfriend at the time was outside smoking a cigarette so I'm not sure if that made him stop and turn around or what. But it seriously scarred the shit out of me. I was so scarred that he was going to come back in the middle of the night and murder me.





I always worry about this also with road rage. You don't know who you're giving the finger to and he may be a crazy and have a gun. To me it's not worth the risk to arrive 2 minutes earlier.

valstulas

@fabk I totally laughed on the inside at a lady in the self check-out at the supermarket the other day. She had her 4 kids with her and they were completely out of control. I was judging her a little. I have no idea why. My kids have been that naughty in the supermarket before. :-/ :-?? :-S

And for my big FFFC....... I kinda sorta started smoking cigarettes again. Not during the day or when I'm at work, but I'll usually have a few after the baby is down when I'm having a beer or a glass of wine. It's a bad habit and I need to stop but gooooodddddddd,it's so nice to unwind with one at the end of the day.

Don't do it!!! I started smoking here & there again after having my daughter & then went back to smoking. This time I'm really trying not to go back, but God just reading about you smoking makes me want one!

I have never watched (and never plan to) Titanic, any Rocky movie, any James Bond movie, or Nivholas Sparks movie (except a Walk to Remember).

I'm not a huge fan of Nicholas sparks movies although I do like the books. You should definitely see the notebook and safe haven, they are both soo good!!!

My FFFC: it weirds me out when adults without kids are obsessed with disney world or Disneyland. With kids is totally different. A girl I went to high school with and her husband went to Disneyland for their honeymoon and go back 2-3 times a year. Maybe it's because I have never been but I just don't get it, I'd rather be on a beach!

SO and I love Disney World. I didn't get it until I went as an adult, and it's really not for everyone, but it is so addictive.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but DH and I went to Disney World last February and it was soooo much fun. I feel like a huge dork saying this as a 31 year old adult, but there's just something so magical about the place. I got goosebumps and teary eyed watching the parades. I think this turned out to be my FFFC...

We're going next Christmas with my entire family. I am sooooo excited!

UTQT09

@chiboo9 and @valstulas, maybe I need to go and then I will think differently about it!

arlingirl

I had a road rage incident yesterday with my MOM in the car and Oliver. She was like, "you're going to get shot one day..."

I lay in bed not moving (in the morning) as long as possible because once the dogs know you're awake they whine and annoy the shit out of us to go outside. Prob why I have a whatever infection, from holding my pee all the time...

Bkuhman

I pretend to be blowing up the cars in front of me while driving. I will pretend to be hitting a button Nd pretend to be sending a missile or rocket towards their car and make a blowing up sound. ) it gets me through the drive.

ITA We love the parades and want to go without the kids.

Oh I love Disney World and think kids ruin it! Ha. Or at least being pregnant sure ruined it. I took a semester off and worked there in college. I love it and go back whenever I can. I can't wait to take LO. The singing will blow her mind. She loves songs and "singing" with mommy. (Which involves me singing and her doing a T-Rex yell. She may be tone deaf like her daddy but totally gets A for effort!)

My FFFC: I hate tipping or doing appreciation gifts. Not that I am being cheap - I just wish it was included because what is the appropriate gift? Like the gifts for daycare or the team's executive assistant. What should I get? Is it enough? Too much? Do I buy for all the teachers? Ugh stress. I wish we got a note: contribute X to a gift card. I would be done and happy.

stephyfaith

I can't wait to go back to Disney and bring Ariana. Though we will need to go with other people otherwise we will have to ride a ton of rides alone. (

I went to college about 45 mins from Disneyland and my friends and I would go all the time. I miss it tons.

My confession: I'm trying not to be resentful that DD refuses her morning naps ever since we unswaddled and switched to the crib. It used to be my one guaranteed break and time for me to get ready and now if I put her down she just cries.

[Deleted User]

LO loves it when I sing to him and make silly noises.  I've been doing it more and more lately because it's one thing that can get him to smile when he's cranky.  I was alone in my office at work this morning and suddenly realized I was making silly noises outloud.   I think it had been going on for a few minutes before I actually realized what was coming out of my mouth.  Now I'm wondering if I've ever done that in front of other people.

My FFFC: I am working at our CA office this week and there is SUCH a nice mothers room here for pumping--I seriously almost took a pic and posted it here on J13, it made me a little teary just feeling so cared for as a nursing mom! But my FFFC is that they have a huge stack of magazines in there and I may steal one or two to take on the plane with me today--in my defense, they are current editions that won't be current in January anymore, and I am the only nursing mama using the room right now, no one else has recently had a baby.

Totally with you... A bunch of my cousins had Disney themed weddings and went to Disney for honeymoons. None of them have kids yet. It's weird to me as well. I know there's cool things to do for adults but personally I'd rather spend that money and go to a resort somewhere else that's more grown up...

TheLittleRedM

FFFC: I sing "Fluck you" like a lullaby to Noah when he won't let me put him down to get anything done around the house. He must be legitimately held by me at all times this week it seems and not just worn. Which sucks ass because I really really need to finish deep cleaning the house before we leave.

As per other subjects, I also use DH's razor. My reasoning? I'm his wife, he can suck it up. His works better than the ones I use to buy and I'm too lazy to just buy my own version of his.

I have too. It started when I caught my dad at a hotel with a woman who was not my mom, then decided it was ok when I went out drinking with a friend, then I decided it was ok when I was having a drink at home (after lo went to bed), and now I'm back to smoking. I've decided Sunday I stop again. I cannot keep doing this! I'm actually really mad at myself!

pgermain11

I yelled at my LO last night for crying so much and keeping me awake. I feel sooooooooooooo bad and I started crying because of it. I feel like the biggest bitch ever because I get so upset with her in the middle of the night. I want to cry now thinking about it. 

Also, I pretended to be sleeping when my DH tried to have sex with me the other night... bro, I'm tired, get off me!

Don't knock it 'til ya try it!

And FYI- Disney World knocks Disney Land out of the water.

We all have those mommy breaks where you just need to scream and sometimes do. No worries ladies, you are not a bad mom, you are human. Now go eat a cookie for breakfast .

Speaking of being burnt out - yeah. I feel that. Everyone said it got easier at three months, then four months, now everyone says six months. I'm so done with the nap drama and the no sleep, but I keep slogging through because I'm a mom and that's what moms do. @stina2012 said something a few days ago about wanting to take a melon baller to her brain every time she has to put Riley down for a nap and that's how I feel. I've tried getting him to sleep earlier and later. I've tried putting him down drowsy and asleep. Nothing keeps him from yelling like I'm torturing him. I love this kid but it has to fucking stop or I'm going to lose my shit.
I'm more frustrated today because I thought we had turned a corner yesterday & the day before with some much easier nap times but today has just been more of the nap drama.

Big, big hug! I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone in the nap drama or burn out. I feel like a horrible, awful, no good Mama when I get frustrated with Riley after a nap battle. Or the car seat screaming (which has started again). I try doing deep breaths or counting to 10, but after so many consecutive days I see red.
