So, yesterday I took a shower. I still have yet to shave my breedy bits. So, I showered and put on some olive pants. Well, about 30 minutes later I was sitting down and saw a big ol wet spot in my pants. My bush baby wasn't dry enough for light colored pants.
I may be delirious from lack of sleep but that counts right?
I don't wear pants in my house unless we have company. Nursing tank and undies are my uniform. I forgot about it when I answered the door for UPS today.
I'm with you. I wear DH's boxer briefs. Sup. he gets real mad but idgaf.
I'm going to raid the fridge and eat all the food. I really want cookies, but I don't remember if I ate all the Oreos or not and it's definitely too late to make some....but I could just mix chocolate chip cookie dough and eat it. Hmmm.....decisions, decisions. And to keep in style with these confessions, I have informed DH that naked can no longer be the uniform of choice around the house, we don't need to scar L.
I took both kids shopping for the bedding for our new bed...for 3hrs. I had help with my mom joining us.
By saving gift cards and utilizing coupons I spent $170.00 for a new comforter, and a duvet cover and shams from PB and sheet set. We are upgrading to a king size bed otherwise we wouldn't have needed new sheets.
DH and I sat down and looked at our finances. We have separate accounts and he give me X every month to help with bills. He joined mint.com and all of our finances popped up. I have a credit card with 5K on it. I never told him. He thought we paid if off a few years ago. I told him we didn't. In actuallity, we did. I just ran it back up.
Also there's more stuff coming from my grandparents house tomorrow that he doesn't know about. I figure once it's here he can't say anything about it

Growing up, my parents never talked about money in front of us. We always had enough and it was just not discussed. I think it gave me a complex b/c now I hate talking about financial stuff--it gives me anxiety. DH handles our savings & investments, etc, and updates me as needed. I'd probably be squirreling money away under a mattress or something so it's good that I have him
What's scary/sad is I have a degree in Finance and DH is better at money than I am (he has a computer degree)

fluttergirlmoonchild79 i am in a similar situation. SO wants to look over finances and I am terrified, working on getting my priorities straightened out though!
So my FFFC is soooo gross, and I don't blame anyone for flaming me.
I haven't changed our sheets in a month. I keep intending to, but by the time I get to it, DH is always already in bed. Oh, and on Monday morning, M was in bed with me and he spit up all over my pillow 2x, that night I just flipped my pillow over, I'm still sleeping on the same pillow. Looking back, I should have just traded DH's pillow for mine, he would never know.
Psshhhh you're not alone. In the beginning I washed them constantly, now I've accepted it's a battle I cannot win. I nurse in bed she spits up all the time, I just don't lay in that appt (until it dries)
I just changed the sheets a few days ago, but she managed to spit up in it again same day. I even lay a towel down, but she makes sure to hit the sheets

Finance degree here too! But I am the money guru in our relationship. DH's parents never taught him anything about money. A few months before we got married he came to me in tears and confessed that the had a cc with $3k on it. Needless to say, that night the card was cut up and the bill was paid off the next month. Don't mess with me and my crazy controlling money ways!
I'm sitting here contemplating where to go get my nails done on my lunch break: the place that charges $22 for shellac or the place that calls $25 for shellac. Yeah, I'm cheap.

Yesterday, I dropped off our dry cleaning for the week, and picked up my preserved wedding dress. It was sitting at the cleaners for the last two years. I guess I forgot ::shrug::
I put Maddie down in front if Mickey Mouse Clubhouse this morning so I could have a few minutes to pee and drink my coffees.... Teething is killing me.

I judge the parents of picky eaters. My bil won't eat a damn thing because anytime he said "I don't like that!" Mil made him a grilled cheese.. He's 22 and everytime he eats dinner with us I make him try things and 9 times out of 10 he likes it! I think most of the time it's just lazy parenting..
All week DS's sleep has been off so I am exhausted. Then to add to my lack of sleep DD woke up for the day at 4:45 yesterday and 3:45 today. I am fried and DH acts like he doesn't hear the kids at night so I have been doing it all by myself. I fully intend on handing off both kids to him when he walks in the door tonight and going for a run. This tired mamma is in need of some serious me time after dealing with two tired crabby kids all week.
This is kind of like Kellykinns, but I also fear swimming in lakes. Not because of amoebas, but because I watch way to many crime shows and am scared there are undiscovered dead bodies down there.
I may have gotten too over the top in yesterday's UO. My husband asked me how it was going this morning and I reported that we'd moved on to better things, like peanut butter. But really I'd like to continue the debate, because I am almost always ready to debate stand points based on vague notions people have of what the bible actually says. (Since they are using that as the basis of their argument).
For being an atheist, I know a lot more than I'd like about the bible.
Less yesterday related: I'm terrified of swimming in lakes or anything either not the ocean or not treated like a pool because I have a fear of amoebas. I'm convinced that if I ever swim in a like I'm going to be the next episode of House.
Haha. We really are internet soulmates @kellykinns. Except I don't even go in the ocean anymore. Years ago, I was swimming and saw some kind of little bioluminescent beastie in the water and I've been terrified ever since.
When I was 5 or 6, I was afraid of swallowing a paramecium in my drinking water. I didn't understand how they got into water though, and I used to make my Dad put a napkin over the cup of water by my bed so the parameciums couldn't get inside.
I fell asleep this morning while working. What woke me up was my laptop falling off my lap. Figures. The awesome laptop I had slipped but didn't hit the ground and the screen shattered. This POS I'm using now (can't unplug it, hot all the time, runs slow etc) is perfectly fine! I hate this laptop but DH won't let me use the slightly better one we have and after trying to fix the screen on the awesome one once, he gave up and plugged it into a monitor. I don't want to not have a TV while I'm working so I won't use it. Boo!

I don't get in water that I can't "see through", I like to know what's around me. For me sand bars with seagrass are the worst.
---------- Me too! My dad traumatized me by telling me a story about a water skier who was dragged through a water moccasin nest in the lake. Eff that! I pretty much never got in the lake after that. I was really young-- maybe 6. My goal is to not tell traumatizing horror stories to my kids.
My FFFC: I don't like cuddling. All I can think of is a hot, sweaty body touching me. I would make an exception for LO, but he is the same way.
I am blatantly ignoring a co worker's phone calls. He's not in the office and he's freaking out about something that isn't a big deal (his MO) and I just can't deal with his (usually made up) problems right now. I'm not usually this type of person but he's just insane about things.
@fluttergirlmoonchild79 I wish I could have a secret credit card and spend! I get to keep whatever I save with coupons but it can't be more than $10 per week. Sucks because last week I saved $62 at bj's with coupons. Dh let me keep $20. I do steal his dollar bills from time to time and his change. I've got about $200 save up in the last 3 months. I'm saving up to buy new clothes once I'm done losing weight. Sometimes I miss working and making my own money.
I just ordered dinner for delivery (I don't cool on Friday's). I have enough cash on me to pay for the meal ($17 and some change) but only $2 extra for a tip. This is not enough, but I don't feel like calling back to put it on a card. I'm so embarrassed. People who tip poorly are tacky and now I feel like the delivery boy/girl is going to judge me and run over our flower beds. Do I acknowledge and apologize for the lack of cash up front? Ignore it and hang my head in shame after I shut the door?

All of this makes me very uncomfortable. Sounds like emotional abuse via control over the finances to me.

It made me uncomfortable, too. The "let me" part. If he's working and you're staying home, because that's what you've decided is best for your family, isn't the money he earns BOTH of your money? I mean, it's the money to support your family, and YOU are part of the family. I have so many questions about this, Becca. I think about you a lot and worry about you.
I have to agree with this. I don't know a lot about your situation but let me just say I know two kinds of men that have a SAH wife: one cherishes his wife and her contributions and values what she offers the family by SAH, the other likes to lord the fact the she doesn't work over her and uses this as a means of control. I don't know enough particulars about your finances but I hope that the dynamic between you and your H is more like the former.
Every year, there is a conference of "Young Explorers" that happens at the conference center near my work, this is basically 8-15 year olds who dress up as mini police people and they go over fake crime scenes and what not. I'm crabby today, this week has sucked and I have a migraine, but I have a huge grant due next week, so there is no way I could not come into work...So, I took a mini lunch just to pump and take a small walk to get away from my desk. This group of young explorer people are taking up the whole hall and not paying attention. I tried to get as far right as I could but this little tiny guy ran into me and went flying, rather then feeling bad I thought "take that mini popo, pay attention next time!"

If someone is riding my butt, I'll purposely go under the speed limit until they pass me. Then I'll speed way up just to piss them off.
My disclaimer is that I always drive in the slow lane (having a baby has changed me!) and I always drive the speed limit, if not a little faster.
Also, I figure if they're going to rear end me, I'd rather them do it when we're both going 20 MPH instead of 40.
