Let's hear 'em!

I haven't been to bed yet because I got distracted watching an episode of Heroes of Cosplay and have decided that's going to be my new hobby. So I've been trying to decide what costumes to make and imagining how awesome they will be. 

Chance of me actually following through: 7/10

I have a deep dislike for one of my employees, and since I make the schedule, I hardly ever work with her and I schedule her with someone she doesn't like. Zero guilt.

Ever since I started treatment for my metabolic disorder, I've ended many requests for favors with "...because I can't eat protein..." DH has fallen for my antics for weeks and dutifully met my requests. I'm going to ride this wave until he tells me to eff off.

Grad Tuesdays are always a mix of yay and whoa, I totally did not picture them that way! The funniest to me is when I think they are one race and they are actually a different race. Yes you all have faces in my mind.

My confession?  I think DH is right and that I have a thyroid issue.  At least I want to think that.  I hate to think that losing 1 lb. or less a month at most is all I'll ever be able to do.  I sure as heck can put it on much more quickly than that.

Reality?  I have none of the other symptoms that everyone in my family gets when their thyroid needs help.  No sleepiness, no dry skin, no forgetfulness, no irrational anger, nothing.  So I'm sure I'm fine.

I keep telling myself that I should be thankful that it is coming off and that my clothes will eventually get more loose.  (The way my clothes fit is more of how I'm measuring things.  I'd LOVE to lose two clothing sizes, but my bigger size is still what fits perfectly even with those 5 lbs. that I've lost over the past 5 months).

This is super frustrating. An easy blood draw can answer this question for you. Also keep in mind that thyroid irregularities can impact fertility as well, so double the reason to go get tested. I totally see your point of view though. Hang in there!

Edited to add: sorry, the nurse in me just got, well, all nursey.

I should be folding the mountain of clean laundry in our room but instead I am relaxing.  I plan to redo our bedroom tomorrow and can just fold everything then, right?  I mean, I'll be reorganizing our dressers and closet anyway so why not do it all at the same time.

I have another. Apparently this has been controversial: https://news.yahoo.com/arrestees-handsome-mug-shot-goes-viral-033406733.html

Yum (minus the violent criminal part). Apparently I find this violent felon incredibly sexy. I feel guilty.

My FFFC is that my husband is going to be deployed for a series of 2 week intervals that will last for 4 months starting in July. Essentially he'll be away for the first two weeks of every month, and home for the last two. With the exception of the fact that this could make TTC really difficult (I seem to be ovulating within the first week and a half of every cycle) I'm kind of looking forward to him being gone.

My DH works for the government, in DC - and he absolutely HATES his job. For the past few weeks he's come home every day being in a bad mood. Inconsolable. Nothing I can do seems to make him feel better - we literally went 10 days without sex - which is odd for him. He really likes being in the field so though I'll be without him for a few weeks at a time , I'm really looking forward to anything that will brighten his spirits. It's gotten to the point where I've been tempted to tell him to suck it the fuck up. It's really not fair living in a house where no matter how hard you try, the person you're sharing a life with is grumps all the damn time!

We are having a cleaning service come to our house today and I am so.excited. If it goes well, I think we will hire them regularly, like once a month, to come do a deep clean.

It's a confession because it's just the two of us and the dog, and our house is not big, but we just can't keep it as clean as we'd like. It is so dusty and there is a lot of trim that collects dust/cobwebs. Plus he works a lot and I'd rather spend my time doing anything but cleaning!

Wine&Cupcakes

@slappalicious: I have a friend who recently went through this and she realized that there was a great deal of variability between what different doctors considered normal and borderline, even within widely held guidelines.

Do you see an endo or a regular PCP?

I love nights where I get the bed to myself. Sleeping next to someone is overrated.

LMAO. You didn't fix the part that was awkward.

Muh, I attempted to fix the part that was bold, which is what I thought people were finding weird. Oh, well...apparently my FFFC is really that thoughts into words are hard for me today. 

Trampslikeus

I have a little crush on our contractor. He's that blue collar rough around the edges Boston Irish guy with the stereotypical Boston Irish tattoos and backwards sox cap...the exact opposite of what I ended up marrying :P. And he's outside right now with his shirt off. Well hello there, obvious porn plot!

We just had the SAME conversation. Our schedules are just too busy and we would rather spend the money than waste time we could spend hanging out on cleaning. Once a month for now , every other week once there's a baby is what we decided.

CarolinaGirl83

We have a wedding to go to in November. I've spent the past 45 minutes looking at maternity dresses that I could wear. I should know better after 21 months of TTC.

@Trampslikeus, pics or it isn't currently happening.

@themrsJRD‌ We're moving into a larger home next year (we're currently remodeling it). DH agreed to hire a cleaning service, at least once a month. It's just the 2 of us and 3 dogs. We both HATE to clean. Neither of us have a bit of shame in hiring someone!

themrsJRD

@Joy2611 They are going to dust our plantation shutters!!! Lol I am just really looking forward to it. I hope it smells awesome when they leave. Nothing like the smells of freshly mopped floors.

Another confession... I think we have mopped the floors just a handful of times since we bought the house. Four years ago.

@MrsRC88's confession made me think of one that is bothering me.

I confess that I can't do something without doing something else at the same time.  I didn't used to be that way, but I'm starting to hate myself.  Commercial on TV?  Let me check my phone real quick.  Bus is sitting at a long stop light?  I'll just jump on Facebook.  The Phillies game is a bit dull?  I'll just peruse the boards while it's going on.  Did I mention that I'm sitting in the stadium?  That's ridiculous!  Have to do some reading for work?  I'll put on a good TV show in the background.

NO.  I hate it.  Sometimes I want to throw my phone away.  But, I just need to get out of the habit and focus on one task at a time.  It's my fault that I've made myself so distractable.

I took a Facebook hiatus for a few weeks a while back for exactly this reason. I didn't stay off, but for a whole two weeks I didn't go on. You know what? It's not that I missed it...it's that it was hard to break the habit of always going to my phone/apps to occupy "empty" time. Once I got out of the habit, it was much easier.

I also dislike the fact that I'm so interested in other people's lives. In all honesty, does it really matter what people I went to high school with had for dinner last night?! Nope. I hate myself for ravenously scrolling through my news feed for all of this dumb info.

So jealous of all of you that have cleaning services. We're on our tight budget now that the school year is coming to a close, but I might have to negotiate this with H in the fall.

I agree. I'm currently fantasizing about a cleaning lady...or better, a sexy cleaning man...with an accent....

However, we live in a t.i.n.y one bedroom apartment that's probably 400sq ft. We still can't keep it clean to save our lives.

I am one of those women who blames her foul temper on hormones X_X

To my credit, though, I usually recognize my flare ups and keep my thoughts to myself.  I have severe progesterage since I'm back on suppositories and I was thisclose to going on a tirade on Facebook yesterday.  My friend posted about getting a hermit crab from the beach for her kids but they killed it so she was going to go out and find a turtle.  Like, a wild turtle.

I wrote this long comment shaming her for killing wildlife for her kid's entertainment and then when I reread it I decided I was overreacting and deleted before I posted.

This is my new favorite show, and if I knew how to sew clothes I'd be all over it. Top of my list: Merida, Zelda, and if I can lose 20 pounds, Sailor Moon. :P

Facebook makes me rolls my eyes more than a teenage girl with a bad attitude, but I just can't NOT check it out. I give it up for Lent every year, and it's a refreshing break, but I keep going back to the FB train wreck.

Edited because I can't quote correctly apparently.

THIS exactly. Sometimes I give DH a blowjob just because I know it will butter him up to go get breakfast/coffee or take the dog out (or BOTH) without any complaining. I swear he's in a better mood for the rest of the day too...

Joy2611! As much as I hate it, I can't focus on one thing at a time. It drives my husband crazy.

My confession: I typed out and then deleted my confession because I didn't want to get flamed for it

This is sparked by the thread earlier this week about the gross or stupid things your husband has said or done. Maybe gross wasn't included but this is both gross and stupid, so...

Back in 2009 my husband (at that time my live-in boyfriend) has a horribly infected ingrown toenail that he put off going to the doctor for. He tried all kinds of home remedies. One of those was soaking it in hot epsom salt water.

One day I was really thirsty and there was a full bottle of water on the chest of drawers. I took a swig and immediately spat it back out. For reasons unknown, he put his USED INGROWN TOENAIL SALT WATER into this water bottle and left it there. Just, what the fuck? I was SO MAD and disgusted. I don't even understand how he poured it from whatever he soaked his foot in to the water bottle.

Dumbest.shit.ever.

Oh man, now I have to confess that you will probably be let down because it's more of a whine and I was afraid of being insensitive and annoying.

Basically I'm just pissed off that because people abuse prescription drugs I'm afraid to ask my OBGYN for pain medicine for my endometriosis because I don't want to be labeled a pill seeker. I realize I have to advocate for myself. I'm just always scared to! I'll let myself be in horrible pain because asking for pain medicine makes me so anxious. God, I'm a whiny loser.

I get all cute when I go to babysitting because the dad is a total hottie. Tall dark and handsome with salt and pepper hair. Yum.

See, that wasn't so bad!  I ask my GP for pain meds, personally.  I have severe menstrual cramps and I can either take 1 naproxen with 1 hydrocodone 2-3 times a day for 3 days, or I take 4-5 naproxen a day for 3 days.  I'm very worried about the damage I'm causing my liver from all the naproxen I take (you're only supposed to take 2 in a 24 hour period).  Not sure hydrocodone is much better, but I need less medicine if I use something more powerful.

If you're going back and asking for pills every couple weeks, then your OB will start suspecting you have a problem (and if you need that much medicine for pain management you may want to see if there's a deeper underlying cause).  But if you're asking because your pain is unbearable and you need something to take the edge off, that's totally reasonable.

No shame here!

**snip**

I totally do this too. DH and I were having a disagreement the other day, and I went all 13-year-old girl on him and slammed (and I do mean SLAMMED) the bedroom door. My 10lb shi-zhu freaked the fuck out and pissed all over the kitchen floor - I may have stayed in our bedroom while DH cleaned it up. It was really not a shiny moment for me. I rarely ever get that upset, there's a lot more backstory to that moment that I wont go into. But I def. blamed my hormones. Of course I apologized, and owned up to my ugliness - but know that you are not alone in this sister!
