I have lied to my SO multiple times this week, and said a headache/nausea/morning sickness was preventing me from cooking dinner. The reality is I just wanted to lie in bed and play Candy Crush uninterrupted.
I've had this self loathing thing going on this week. It only happens when I'm at home... like I can't do anything right. The house is a mess, J is cranky or falls because all he wants to do is stand/try and walk, and I can't catch up on anything.
Poor DH thinks it's because it's when I'm around him. I truly don't believe it's directly because of him, but I feel like maybe I'm subconsciously dumbing myself down and hating on myself because I'm around him for pity or something. I feel really overwhelmed and I don't feel like he's helping me out as much as he could. But I also see his side of the story. He's staying home with the babe all day, while I work and then we switch off when I get home. So while he has him for more wakeful hours, I'm still with him too and have to get my shit done.
I don't know. I'm all jumbled and weird today. But I have to admit, going hard at practice last night makes everything feel better for a while.
Im seeing bf tonight and he really wants to dtd, im havig a hard time getting excited about ut. Bentley isnt sleeping well, ill be tired from school, and i wont want to hook up at 10 when bentley finally goes down. But well still dtd cause it needs to happen.
@Truebeliever925 sorry its been a rough week! Hugs, i hope it gets better
I'm MOH in a wedding tomorrow. We have yet to be told of a plan for the day of when we need to be where. She just told me Wednesday (through text) when the rehearsal and dinner was, and then told me yesterday to be sure I have a sitter in between the ceremony and reception because they got a party bus. That would've been nice to know because DH has his cousin's bachelor party the same day. I'm really annoyed by the lack of communication and schedule but I'm trying to be stay positive about it. I've asked for a schedule and when we need to be where and haven't gotten answers.
I may have to stop pumping and only BF/FF. I barely pump enough at work. Some days I don't pump enough. I'll prob auctually pump but not stress about the amount 1-2xs a shift.
The confession part: I prob won't tell anyone at work and still take my pump breaks as usual. Even if I don't Auctually pump.
@BlondieBia21 That's awful! How has some of this been left to the last second??? Bad bad bride!!!
@TrueBeliever925 I totally get ya - I get WAY down on myself when things aren't going well, and DH gets the brunt of it. Not that I'm yelling at him or anything, but I'm not myself - and since I've always been an upbeat person, its very obvious when something's not right with me. I'm glad you have an out with roller derby though!! That must feel good. :-)
My FFFC is pretty simple - DD is still up about 3 times a night...DH is a very sound sleeper (thanks to his CPAP). It annoys me that he doesn't even flinch when she's crying over the monitor, so some nights I turn it up REALLY loud or thrash in bed or just all out make a loud complaint so that he wakes up too. He hasn't been up with DD in the middle of the night for MONTHS now - I'm talking probably 6 months - and mostly I'm fine with that...but waking him a bit makes me feel a little acknowledged. Whoops!

I have been in an intensive course this week M-F 9-5, I'm tired, exhausted and SO ready to be done!! Which means, I intend to spend my entire day in the back corner of class between here, Facebook, and Pinterest. Also, I think tonight calls for take out pizza and a six pack (all for myself since DH isn't a drinker). Happy Friday bitches!
@BlondieBia21 I hate that shit. Just because she's the bride she thinks everyone needs to stop everything that they are doing and do exactly as she has planned. And that's all well and good if you were aware of the situation with plentiful amount of time to plan. I'd be pretty irked too! I'd almost just tell her TFB!
@ludali I'm glad I'm not alone. And I don't blame you for making a fuss. I do it too. I huff and puff if J is fussy and make loud noises. We shouldn't be the only ones to deal with it! :P

Oh, I am seriously tempted to keep my pump appointment even after I stop pumping. Even if just for a little while - an uninterupted 30 minute break/nap would be FABULOUS!
I've been telling my friend that I need to drop off her birthday gift for a month now. I saw her on Saturday and told her I accidentally left it at home.
Truth: I hadn't bought her anything yet. Came home Saturday, bought some stuff on Amazon and I fully intend on dropping it off tonight. Oops.
I just figured out I was on the "B list" for a wedding. I even got the "B list" invitation. The A listers got fancy ones that had a wax seal and everything. I thought I just wasn't going to get invited.
I was fine not getting invited but I'm not sure how I feel about being a B lister. Does that make sense? If I was ok not being invited(even though I wanted to go), why would I feel awkward after getting invited?
I think it's very bad etiquette, but I'm not going to boycott. He gets a pass for being a good friend(previously****). I don't think I made the "B list" for any other reason than we haven't kept in touch as much as other people in our group of friends.
I'm conflicted because I know this wasn't done out of any malicious intent, but it's still kinda tacky.
ETA: ****good friend previously when we hung out more.
@Truebeliever925 im going to try that, i reallt want to cause we still havent dtd.Bt at the same time i want sleep haha oh well, hopefully well get to have sex
@speshul People are really tacky enough to send out two different types of invitations? LAME. I'd boycott. That's just rude.
My exact thoughts!! I wont lie, I had a B list for my wedding but they received the same formal invites my A list guests got. I just sent them out a few weeks later.
(Note, this is not a food confession, more of a lifestyle one)
If I remember correctly, this isn't your first time either Sounds like you really like their breakfast. I may need to give it a try. I have no shame in admitting that I love me some Taco Hell (as DH calls it).
@speshul I get what you are saying. But if they knew they were going to do that, they could have at least used all the same invitations so it doesn't look as tacky as it is. And I agree with @chelseamb11 This is definitely gift-grabby.
Yea the different invitations threw me off too. Especially when 2 weeks before other friends were like OMG did you SEE those invitations...they are so cool, wax seal and everything. I get one and I'm like, "You people are nuts, this is just plain cardstock with a colored border.".....followed by awkwardness....
LOL I should do a better job of keeping in touch so I can make the A list next time. I wonder if I will get ground beef while others get steak?

When people mention tacos, I think of the "Jennifer Lopez" on southpark and start singing "Taco flavored keeeses" in my head.

I've always liked you, but this really seals the deal for me. You're always anA lister in my heart.
I fell holding DS this morning. I was leaning down to grab a diaper and lost my balance. He's fine. Just a little scratch and he barely cried. I feel absolutely terrible. Plus, I'm going through a separation and I'm really afraid his dad will use it against me because the scratch is on his face. My mom is the one who has me paranoid about everything.

@theususalmischief I don't flame you one bit! I am so tempted to get one of those waffle tacos that they make, but they have eggs on it I think, and I would prefer sausage. (ETA- is it just me or does this sentence sound like something entirely different once you read it as second time?)
@Speshul I received an invite like that a couple years ago- it was for an out of town wedding and I got it two weeks before the event. I had other plans, so I didn't go, but was still kind of put off by the lack of notice and the thought of being second choice.
@BlondieBia21 That stinks! Last minute sitters can be tough to come by!
We've been sleep training LO this week with progressive waiting. Flame away, he STTN for the first time EVER last night.

@WildRumpus what is progressive waiting?
Putting him down awake and doing "check-ins" if he cries/fusses based on time. So, he gets a kiss, put in the crib, and if he fusses/cries for 10 minutes (the limit we've decided we're ok with) we go in, assure him he's ok, pop the pacifier back in, whatever, and it goes another 10 minutes if needed. It's part of the he who shall not be named Ferber method.

After the steak and BJ thread on Wednesday I surprised DH that night with one. He's been in such a good mood since then.
I sometimes have weekdays off on days when LO goes to daycare.Occasionally after I drop her off I go to Taco Johns (a Midwest chain) across the street and grab something to go. Then I hide the evidence in a different garbage bag when I get home so I don't catch grief from DH (who prefers Taco Bell).
I'm excited to wear a bikini this weekend. We're going with DH's family to the mountains and I fully plan on taking in the natural hot springs. At first I was skeptical how my body looked, but damn it, I'm proud of it.

@lemsa
I stopped pumping, but still take my pump breaks. I get 30 minutes in the mom's room, and I use it to take a power nap.
