I confess to wishing my DS would build more structurally sound projects with his megablocks.  Sometimes the way he places a long piece just hanging off the side like a flag makes me feel twitchy.

Apparently I'm the only person at work who thinks you still have to show up on time on Fridays, and I'm really bitter about it.  I was going to stop and buy breakfast, but I would have been 10 minutes late if I did.  And now I'm really pissed that I didn't.

But then I would lose my awesome parking spot!  I'm going to try to talk someone into going out for an awesome lunch.  Although that might be a FFFC too, because I am aiming for pizza which is all the things I shouldn't eat.

You get to work early! I just realized. Lol

My confession is that an experience I had this week leads be to believe that I have lived an entirely too privileged life, and that maybe I have some thinking to do about it.

Through a series of unusual situations, bad timings, and thoughtlessness that culminated with me leaving my wallet at a Taco Bell, I was completely broke. I have literally not ever had a zero balance, or even close to it, since I opened the account in 2nd grade with first communion money. It only lasted 2 days, until a transfer from another account came in, but now I am seriously judging myself for the feelings I had.

I was horrified by the thought that I might have to use a credit card out of necessity, and super embarrassed, like genuinely ashamed, at the though that I might have to tell someone that I couldn't do something because I didn't have the cash.

So now I am trying to figure out when I became such an entitled brat. (My parents barely survived pay check to pay check for most of my childhood, and I always thought that gave me good budgeting and spending habits, and a healthy appreciation for the money I do have, but now I am thinking its not so healthy)

I work 7-4:30.  Leave the house at 6 am.  Yep, early bird.  College me is rolling her eyes so hard right now.

I will probably get flamed for this one, but my other confession is that a majority of the food talk on this board seriously grosses me out.

I can totally get behind eating an entire bag of Doritos, but all the talk about kefir/oatmeal/random healthy food makes me want to gag.

I have the palate of a 7 year old.

I'm currently ignoring the fact that G is awake from his nap (not crying, but talking to himself) and finishing off a sleeve of Thin Mints while I bump.

This is not a confession.  This is good parenting.  You are allowing G to explore his independence and teaching him that it's okay to be alone.  Go you!

You're right! I'm such a good mom. That probably means that I should reward myself by finish off the whole box of cookies that I got yesterday.

And now I want Doritos ... the left over cookis I made yesterday will have to tide me over I guess.

Rrrrrachel

Everytime I make stock I cook it for way longer than necessary because I'm too lazy to put it away.

This is so me.  I used to get to work at 6:15.  Now I get to work by 7:30 after two school/DC drop offs.  College me purposely scheduled her earliest class to never start before 11 AM.  Ugh.  I'm old.

My confession: D's track and field day is today.  I volunteered to help from 11:45 to 3.  It's freezing here.  I'm secretly hoping they cancel it or move it inside so  I'm not cold all afternoon.  Forget about the kids.  Keep me warm.  

Also I'm about to go get an oil change done on my car.  I'm totally gonna stop at QT to get a frozen cappucino slushie to drink while I wait. They are terrible for you and way more sugar than I need....but so yummy.  And I need a reward for being all mature and responsible in taking care of my car.  Right?

I like to put almond butter and chocolate chips in my oatmeal.  Probably undoes all the goodness of oatmeal, but it's tasty!

I'm never on time. Any day. I technically have a start time, but I consider 5-15 minutes before my first patient "on time." Hey, I show up, I get my shit done, I call that a successful day.

@MrsHudson618, I think it's a really good thing that you are reflecting on your experience of being without cash and allowing it to open your eyes to the experiences of others rather than simply feeling inconvenienced by it.

They can be my breakfast lunch and dinner.but I try very hard not to buy them, it will made me sad to see my kid getting some horrible habit like my. Every time I go to the store, I'm planing on getting them, but I always put them back. And when I get home I regret not getting them, but them I have to look for one of the best snack that I love to. Pickles seaweed . I can totally get behind eating an entire bag of Doritos, but all the talk about kefir/oatmeal/random healthy food makes me want to gag. I have the palate of a 7 year old.

Ehh, why my comment got attach to yours. I'm sorry I don't know what I did wrong.

So mh came back from his fishing trip. He keeps saying he missed us, but my confession is that I was perfectly fine with him gone. To be fair, it wasn't all that different than having him at work since his days are so long.

I feel like this, too.  DH likes to go camping/backpacking once or twice a summer.  He always acts like it must be such an inconvenience to me to have him gone.  My daily routine with DS ends up being exactly the same because he works such long hours anyway.  I just don't get to see him at  night.  Instead, I eat junk food and watch trashy TV

Mandmeesh

it's okay @clldll , I drank a venti Mocha cookie crumble frappuccino the other day.  It was so good. I kept getting a brain freeze bc I couldn't drink it slow enough

Mandmeesh

oh yeah, posted in the wrong thread. 

I only have 6 (i recounted) BG 4.0's.  and two have aplix.  I'm ordering two more today :-D

I'm scared that I don't really like #2's name.  That's why I refuse to commit to it and won't tell anyone what it is.  But it's the ONLY name MH is even considering.  His mind is totally made up.  What if I regret it?  What if I hate it her entire life?

no way. I worried about this too.  

Her name will be perfect because its hers

When I drink margaritas, I don't get brain freezes. I get tummy freezes.

I updated my siggy with a new gif of Jo bouncing on cloth wipes because I'm an aw.

This.  You could name her a name you hate right now and you would love it because it's hers.

@stoneycakes and @mandmeesh Thank you so much, I love you two.

Ditto. I'm going to call your LO Uvula until she's born. You'll love it.

I loved A's name since before we even got pregnant and still worried after she was born that I picked the wrong name. Now I can't imagine it any other way.

Though if you share with the rest of the class maybe we could ease your fears

I full on hated G's middle name, but now I can't imagine him as anything else and love his full name.

When I was pregnant with Jo, we called her Fluffy. (Found the name in a baby book). At first everyone was like omg, why would you do that. But towards the end it became a name of endearment for her and she will always be my little Fluffy.

I also love that my sister is calling her baby Gumby (rock climbing rookie) until her lo is born and revealing the name that way. It's kind of fun for the surprise, but I still think she should tell me lol!

My niece was Absolom before she was born. It was the worst name on the first page of the baby name book. My BIL actually liked it until he found out that, although biblical, the character was a bad guy.

I'm seriously considering leaving cartoons on for DS all day in the hopes that I can get some sewing done. I am so behind on all my projects!! Plus DH wants to paint the nursery tomorrow and I forgot to get the fumeless paint (brain fart on what it's called) so he has to do it on his own which means DS and I will probably spend most of the day out of the house so he doesn't flip out that he can't hang out with daddy.

Also, I totally put chocolate chips and pecans in oatmeal and don't blink an eyelash. If I'm feeling really juvenile and don't have chocolate chips, I sometimes put in sprinkles, but I have to hide it from DH b/c he teases me.

I had Doritos and coffee for breakfast. I was suppose to have the morning off and kid free, but C was sick. I took him to the walk-in. Ear infection and RSV. I caught both early, so hopefully he doesn't suffer too much. On a side note, that means I'm not going to Madison and I won't be stopping in at Nicki's.

TJ1979

@sarenu1 That's awful!  Poor little guy.  I hope he's feeling better soon.  And I'm sorry you don't get to go to Nicki's.

unaveragejane

I have another, since apparently I am ignoring my kid AND the sewing projects... I did the stroller workout group again yesterday, and one of the instructors looked almost exactly like Kristen Bell. The resemblance was eerie. And she's incredibly skinny. If she's even a size 2 I'd be shocked, and she has two kids, the youngest of whom is not even 5 months old! I really kind of wanted her to step in goose crap or something so she'd be a little less perfect. Then I felt bad b/c her youngest started crying and didn't settle down much even when she put her in the Ergo. The mama really kept her cool through the whole thing, and I decided I might like her afterall.

Thanks. He's handling it like a champ right now. I think the ear infection bothers him more than the cough.

I taught L to "Drop it like it's hot" while hanging on the baby gate. He shakes his booty up and down. Now he starts dancing even if I say it while standing behind him.
