I thought i was a big baller for getting 11-13k steps/day on my fitbit. It's been so hard! Well I looked at a friend's friends. They are averaging 15, 20, 33, and 39k steps a day. What??????!

I shoot for 5K. Now I feel even lazier than I did before.

Me too. Unless I run that day.

I don't remember if I mentioned this on here yet. 

I left a bag of food in my 2nd floor office on Friday.  I remembered it when I was 10 minutes into my drive home, but decided to just leave it until Monday - everything was in containers. 

Monday I walk in the door.  Holy mother of goliath.  The entire, and I mean entire building smelled like a huge fart.  I guess I had a ziploc bag of broccoli in there.  Nobody could breathe and it took the entire day of the doors being propped open to eradicate the smell.  We had two potential customers come in that day, too... I wanted to fucking die   Broccoli is toxic, guys.

Haha, oh slices.  I thought you were buying two bags of whole apples.

Unless we are buying something out of our joint account, DH and I never discuss buying things or the cost of things so I've never felt the need to fib about my spending. But in reading through this I was just reminded of the Hudson jeans I just ordered and I will never tell DH how much they cost. Mainly because I don't want to hear him bring up the cost when I complain about how slow our renovation budget is growing.

I was an ass to James this morning. He was whining about wanting to ride his bike. I told him no because it was wet outside and he might fall. He got on his bike anyways. I told him I was disappointed that he wasn't using his listening ears. He rode his bike into the grass and slipped out when turning. He was upset and I did the old "I told you so". Parenting at it's finest.

I had to google Hudson jeans. I've never heard of them. What makes them worth $200? I'm just totally curious. No snark.

We buy things for ourselves out of our personal accounts, so I never feel the need to discuss with DH how much my shoes or makeup or whatever cost.

Stuff for the house or DD I buy out of our joint account and God knows I'm more frugal than he is so he's typically impressed when he pays attention to what I spend.

FFFC: I think it's kinda squishy to fib about how much stuff cost either way.  If it's your money, it's not really his business, so who cares?  If it's joint money, it is his business, so you should be honest.  Maybe I'm a jerkface?

I had a very nice time being away from the kids and could have gone longer, even though I missed them tremendously.

2. I ate dessert all six days.

3. My in laws saw a rat several times near the lattice on our middle deck. I don't know what to do and am ready to just give up the whole yard because of my fear. (I have trouble writing, reading, or even saying the word I'm that pathetic.)

So comfortable and they made my ass look amazing. Totally worth it. I wear jeans every day in the fall/ winter so they will be a staple.

Then worth it! Ha! I had sticker shock for a second but if jeans hold up, wash well and make you look amazing, honestly $200 isn't that bad!

I yelled at the kids loudly on Wednesday night.  I really need to not be a yeller like my mom was.  I try to stop and count and tell DS to put on "his listening ears" and try to talk calmly to DD when she pouring water all over herself and the floor but I just lose it once in a while and then feel like a shitty guilty mom the rest of the night, or even week.   I need to not yell.

Also, though not nearly as important, I fear the neighbors will hear me shouting and we'll be dubbed the crazy house and other kids won't be allowed to come play because I'm the mean shouting mom.

I want to shop for new clothes but I hate my body so much I feel I don't deserve nice or new clothes.

Oh my! Why do I always feel like I could write your posts word for word? Every paragraph, this time!

You're doing good just recognizing that you don't want to be a yeller like your mom, just keep working at it. The part about worrying about your neighbors made me laugh because 3 nights ago we were all hanging out the back yard and DD was having a huge meltdown so DH took her inside to time out. I literally sat in my chair silent as I could to try and listen to what others could hear from outside my house. I was pretty close to the house and surprisingly couldn't hear too much. It was lovely news! Now I can keep on keeping on! LOL.

Don't let yourself feel guilty!!

Another non-snark, honest question--how long do Hudson (or other uber-expensive) jeans last with regular wearing and washing?  

Because if they outlast my $20 Old Navy jeans by about tenfold,  I'd consider them, lol.

tinyhumantoe

I will pay an obscene amount of money for a pair of jeans that make me look good.  Thank god I hate trying on clothes.

Sometimes I feel like DH gives me the shopping shake down just because it's what he's supposed to do (his dad does it to his mom).  He grumbles in unison when other dudes bitch about their wives, but I hardly shop.  Him:  "200 dollars at target, my god you have to stop"  Me: "I bought groceries and two pajamas for Winn.  Suck it."

If I were 20 pounds lighter or living in my dream home, I'd really fuck up the bank account.

I don't normally fib about the amount, just don't say anything at all. I spend nearly everything from the joint account and he can see, but chooses not to. I just don't bring it to his attention.

Sometimes I get sad about all of the dead bugs on my windshield.  I never wash my car, so it's like millionzillions.  If I worked local and rode a bike, all of those bugs would be alive.

See, I think that's fair.  If the information is there, I see no reason to announce "I bought Item X for $Y today."  He can read the bank statement, too.  But if for some reason he couldn't, I wouldn't lie if he asked.

I have never thrown out any of my nicer department store jeans, they are all still regularly worn and look great. I have a pair of Levis that I loved that just got retired after 2ish years because they got a hole in the knee. Old Navy jeans don't fit me well so I can't speak to those but my Gap jeans that get worn often usually only last a couple years before looking old. But I have always been a brand snob and would rather buy one pair of nice jeans a year to build up a collection than buy a few pairs of less expensive jeans.

My boss is completely spineless.  She's a horrible boss, but a great person if that makes sense.  Anyway, she called me to talk to me about a complaint she got about me from last Friday.  We only work until noon, and I had a walk in at 1150 that I refused to see due to the fact that I was finishing up my notes and eating a sandwich.  My boss pointed out that on 4hr days we don't get a lunch and blah blah blah.

First of all, I take every walk in that comes in unless I have someone else in my office.  only 1 other advisor at my location does that, and she works 3d per week.  Second of all, I haven't taken a "lunch" in over a year because I have so many said walkins.  I flat out told my boss I'm not apologizing for that and that if it's an issue, I'll just stop taking walk ins since none of the other advisors take them anyway.  She apologized to me.  I've never had a boss apologize to me.  WTH?

My SIL took DD to the local farm/kid's thing last week--apparently they had a rat there that the kids could pet and DD was obsessed. I got a bunch of pictures sent to me of DD touching its tail. DH had pet rats when he was growing up, and was more than just a little excited about this.

Who tells a pregnant woman that they can't take a break to eat a sandwich. Ass.

My BFF growing up had one as a pet and they're super smart.  I've always been more partial to hamsters because of their cute little squishy faces, but DH has a thing with rodents and doesn't want the kids to have any variety of them.

He will concede and get a ferret though, go figure.  Are ferrets considered rodents?

Hyaline

There's a raccoon family living in our backyard.  They occasionally hide out under the deck.  I have zero issues with this.  Watching them scoot up and down the trees in the evening is fun for me and DD.

I never want a pet that I could kill if I accidentally step on it.

No, mustelid.  Think skunk and weasel family. 

I always said it's like putting a cat or dog in a cage for most of their life   I didn't do that, but it's what happens to most of the poor things.  They are so social and it's a lot of work to let them have enough time out of the cage.  A dedicated room is really better, but they still need played with.

If you want to get a ferret, you should talk to me   My guy was the sweetest animal I have ever met in my life, and hilarious, but I won't have another one.  I'm kind of petted out.  They really should have a friend with them.  It's something I really regret not doing for Ernie

Rats are awesome and lower maintenance

MarisaKathleen

@tinyhumantoe, I can't personally see us ever having a ferret, especially with the problems we're having with Mavis.  My cousins had a ferret room growing up and had 3 and they were nuts!  hilarious, but nuts.  DH likes to take Nancy with him when he has to go to PetCo for cat food and she L O V E S the ferrets.  But she also loves fish, so yea, toddlers. :-)  I think fish are a little more up our alley after the cats are gone.

tinyhumantoe

I feel bad that once my dog and cat kick the bucket I might want to be pet-free for awhile. 

We had a hundred pets growing up, and I think they are amazing to grow up with.  I'm just scared to get a psycho again.

DH had a goldfish his ex g/f got him. That thing lived for 9 years! She got HUGE (see picture below.)She was actually a lot of upkeep. Not as much as the cats but cleaning the tank was a b*tch.

DH had rats and a snake growing up. I had pet mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hedgehogs. The only thing I've firmly put my foot down about is the crayfish, that thing was way too creepy to be in the room I was sleeping in, especially after I found out the last one he had got out of the cage.

Aj has a blue crayfish in his fish tank. I think it's awesome. Aj loves it and calls it his blue monster. (They label them as lobsters)

Along the designer jeans convo - the Miss Me jeans are not cute. They scream tacky to me.

I love a good pair of jeans and plan to buy new ones once my body is back to where I want it/am comfortable. So probably after baby #2.DH hasn't seen anything yet in the jeans$ department. But I very rarely spend frivolously and overthink almost all clothing purchases for myself, so he'll just be happy I'm actually buying something and not just putting everything back and leaving the store sad.
