FFFC - 7/18/14 Edition

Forgive me, Bumpies, but I have sinned. It has been over two weeks since my last confession.

I like Jane Austen movie adaptations better than the books. I'm a romance editor; this is a particularly heinous sin in my industry.

I like Aunt Jemima Butter Lite pancake syrup better than real Vermont maple syrup.

I've eaten 6 (SIX!) pints of Talenti gelato over the past month. All by myself.

I don't like maple syrup. I'd rather use jam or fruit. Which is odd cause I don't like eating healthy really...

Also, don't like ketchup.

I am taking both kids to daycare Monday and Tuesday before I start work Wednesday. I plan to shop for new clothes that fit, eat lunch with dh on his birthday, get a haircut, and go to my OB appointment. I'm claiming it's a trial run for the morning routine and for DS at daycare. It's just me time. I'm feeling guilty.

I've been sleeping in a recliner with DS. I would not sleep otherwise.

One more, and it's a doozy. Prepare yourselves.

I once had a dirty dream about Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory. He was wearing pink panties. Fortunately I woke up before things got weird. Or...you know...weirder.

I still haven't looked at my vagina. I'm really afraid to.

I want my MIL to take LO overnight so I can sleep all night... which hasn't happened since sometime during pregnancy.

I sometimes hand express my milk in the shower and try to hit things with the stream target style

LO is 8w1d and DH and I have yet to have sex.

And I'm so happy about it.

I'm just not in the mood. I fear my boobs will drench him. And once I finally lay down at night the LAST thing I want to do is get frisky. I just want to quickly fall asleep before DD is back up howling for food again. Oh and I'm so far from being ready to wind up pregnant. I'm not on BC, we will be using condoms which is unfortunate because they smell like crap. Bleh.

All of this, exactly.

Also I got soaked in the thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday. My shoes, which are still a little damp now make my feet stink like nasty cheese. I still wear them.

I think I look really good today, and I'm a little peeved that nobody's noticed. But that makes me wonder if I actually don't look that good. :-/

I'm thrilled to go back to work on Monday. I was happy that there was traffic on the way home from errands so it took me longer.

This! I am so excited to get back to work. I go back in two weeks. I feel some guilt about looking forward to it, but then I look at my kid screaming his head off for no reason and feel OK with the guilt. For 8 glorious hours, plus lunch, each weekday, someone else will tend to his every need. I'm totally OK with that. And I'm not breastfeeding anymore or pumping anymore, so I'm totally free..... I should stop, I sound like I hate my kid and I don't.... but grown up talk, coffee, office gossip! Yes, please!

I was just told yesterday by a good friend of mine that working makes her a better mother. It sounds like you're in the same boat! Her words stuck with me, because after being home for the past 9 weeks I can totally agree that working will likely make me a better mother too.

@Ocoma‌ and @ebuge‌, I totally agree! And DH will be watching him so I don't feel bad. Being a SAHM is the hardest job in the world and I'm not cut out for it! Lol

jenb_99

DH says he tried to initiate sex last night but I told him I was still bleeding. I'm not still bleeding and I have no recollection of this conversation. So apparently I've become so good at turning down sex I can now do it in my sleep.

I second what @yvanehtnioj and @MK1013‌ said! I have no interest in sex whatsoever and I don't know that I'll ever be brave enough to look down!
