It's time...

MrsSinner402

I'll start... don't give me too much grief, but when I first came to TB.... I GBCB'd! X_X
I didn't lurk enough while on TTGP and I came in and said something in my sarcastic manner and apparently REALLY offended some people. I apologized profusely but no one cared and the flames rolled on. So I left. A few weeks later I came back and created a new account and learned how TB works. Now here I am. ">

I had a tiny cupcake yesterday day but felt guilty about it. Thankfully my glucose reading post dinner was good.

I just had to have it.

DH and I used to be friends and double date with our exes before we broke up with them. He had been with her for 5 yrs and I had been with my bf for 6 yrs. I was really drunk one night before we were split from our exes and told him I loved him and took off my shirt when he refused my advances...
He was too chivalrous and didn't take advantage or anything.

Yep that was the start of us. How romantic...and slutty of me.

I regularly listen to The Sound of Music soundtrack when I drive to work.

I watch the Nicholas Cage movie National Treasure every time it's on TV... and this is the source of 98% of my knowledge about the founding fathers and the U.S. Constitution.

DOOD! I love both of the National Treasure movies!

Last night I had an extreme low blood pressure episode and had to go lie down right before dinner. A gaggle of my dad's relatives had just arrived, and I found them to be irritatingly noisy, so I was totally relieved to be legitimately too ill to have to socialize.

Ok, I have a little juicer one. We took DD's binki away this week. Or I guess the binki fairy took it. DD will be 4 in a few months. In my defense she only slept with it and was not allowed to use it at other times. I also bribed her with sour gummy worms to go to sleep last night. My husband said it wasn't bribing, it was positive reinforcement.

I had to read this twice before I realized it was "binki" and not "bikini". I was fairly confused...why would she sleep with her bikini?? 8-}

So glad I'm not the only one.

I'm packing a bottle of wine in my hospital bag. Whether I open it at the hospital will be a game time decision, but I'm giving myself the option.

A man who was like a second grandfather to me in middle school passed away. Things started getting a little creepy for me toward the end of middle school with him so I distanced myself amd basically disappeared from his life. I find myself having mixed emotions of sadness and apathy over his passing. The apathy makes me feel like a terrible person.

This actually makes me a feel a little relieved... I was thinking this week we need to take away the paci from my 17 month old. She's in the same situation, she only uses it for sleep. I'm hoping she just won't want it one day...I can't bribe her with food so I'll have to think of something else! LOL

Not really flame worthy but a confession none the less...

DD still uses her pacifier in the car and at bedtime (and if she is just a crying mess).  DH and I have talked about pulling it for a year now and we just haven't.  I hate that damn thing but I just don't have it in me to take it away.

Also, with potty training....I just don't want to.  I think DD would get it and be ok but I don't really feel any pull to do it.  But I totally tell people we are going to start soon and now my mom is pushing the issue and I just don't care.

My kid will be the one with the pacifier and diapers in college

I totally understand. We have been talking about taking it for 2 years! I think I told her about 8 months ago that this was her last one, and I swear she has been preserving it. I really felt like her "bink" was her security thing...she never latched on to a blanket or stuffed animal but loved her bink.

You are fine! I was not strong enough to take it when dd was that age...she had just started sleeping through the night occasionally and I was not going to mess with any part of that equation!

This is totally gross, but my FFFC is that when I was a kid I used to feed my boogers to our dog.

 I may or may not have fantasized about two women while DH and I DTD a couple of nights ago.

I do this regularly.

I'm very bicurious.

DS is still very attached to his binkie. For him its a security thing...he has to have 2 - 1 to hold and one to suck on. Between moving this month and LO coming, I can't take his security away from him. Maybe we will try after Christmas for that and potty training. I used to think "seriously?" when I saw an older todfler with a binkie, but now I totally understand.

I know this may sound irrational but I'm pretty aggravated about cancelling my cloth diaper service.
My MIL takes care of DD and she hasn't been using the cloth diapers (for months now) when they go out to the library, baby gym, park  etc etc... That's fine and I understand that it is more convenient to use the disposables when out and about but I have asked her repeatedly to change DD as soon as she gets home into the cloth diapers because they are better for her skin (and although I don't say it... "because I said so dammit!") but she's just not doing it so I end up spending money on cloth diapers and disposables so I have just succumbed to cancelling the cloth diapers... rationalizing that I am choosing my battles and that at least DD had cloth for 17 mos and pretty soon I'll be home for maternity leave and I'll potty train her.
But I confess that deep down inside I'm pissed!!
Things like this and a million other reasons why I wish I was a SAHM!

These days, I am productive until maybe 10 am at work.  The rest of the day people just annoy me and I want to go home.  Today, I may have been productive for an hour (at most).  I keep waiting to leave for my MFM appointment and think about going to IKEA tomorrow (to pick up the crib/finish the nursery).  

lrobi13

@wildflower75:  No flames there, I would be upset too!  Sorry that MIL let you down but 17 months is a long time and you should be proud!  FX that potty training goes well for you guys!

pinkshades05

My confession: We started potty training this week and I'm secretly enjoying the break from diapers. Of course, DD has only gone potty in the toilet 3x in 4 days and has had accidents all over the house...BUT I love seeing her little tush in underwear instead of a diaper!

I'm with you. I'm kind of over work, and I can get my stuff done in about 2 hours. I am getting really good at faking like I am busy, but I'm mostly bumping or looking at baby stuff online.

I'm not trying to get any pity because I KNOW it's 100% our fault... But DD (26 mo) comes in our room Every. Single. Night. I at first let it happen because when I was working I was SO TIRED I didn't care, I just wanted sleep. Now I'm so uncomfortable/ barely getting sleep I keep letting it happen. I need to suck it up and get her back in her bed!

But secretly I like her being in there because I have this insane fear of someone coming in her room at night and taking her. When we're all in one room I'm so much happier/comforted.

Sometimes (ok a lot of the time) I worry about not being a good SAHM. I feel like we run out of stuff to do....I mean...do other SAHMs have activities planned for the whole day? There is a lot of time to fill during the day.

Don't be so hard on yourself LB! I think it's better to not have constant activities. How would they know how to entertain themselves later?

I have this as a future worry.



It was much easier when she was younger and took multiple naps per day. But now, she takes one 2 hour nap and thats it so I struggle to find stuff for her to do...especially now that I'm huge and pregnant. I'm so freakin tired.

Not that it matters to anyone else, but here's my confession: I most likely won't even attempt BF'ing this time around and I'm surprisingly ok with the decision.

It's sad that I spent more time thinking about what other people, society or the world would think of my decision instead of just doing what I felt was best for MY situation.

To each their own, my dear. I support you!

Gasp! But what about baby's IQ?!?! JUST KIDDING.

I don't blame you. The only reason I'm trying again after my terrible first experience because I'm cheap and formula is ridiculously overpriced. I'm so scared it's going to be awful again.

Yeah, I mean, building on that, I feel like a confession for me is, when I say how PASSIONATE I am about wanting to breast feed, and how I will feel SO BAD if I can't do it, it's probably at least 75% cost-related for me. Formula is expensive, and boobs are free. And I will try like hell, but it's not for all these "breast if best" reasons. It's so I can still afford to get mah hair did.

DD will be 2 on the 13th, we have started making paci go "night night" when she makes paci go night night she gets 2 marshmallows. Paci doesn't come back until after dinner when it's bath and bedtime. If I get desperate during a cranky day I will give it to her. My pediatrician thinks we gave it up at the year mark ">

Awww... My DD will be 2 on the 13th also!

My FFFC:
I ate raw cookie dough last night. It was out of a box mix and I didnt feel bad eating it. It was delicious. I thought of the cookies 'n cream lovers on here. It was Hersheys Cookies 'n Cream mix by Betty Crocker. It had crushed oreo cookies and white chocolate chips in them. I wont tell you how many I ate

I have this terribly irrational fear that this LO will come out bald. I'll be so sad if he does, which is ridiculous (and I mean sad for like .2 seconds because I'm sure I'll be immediately overwhelmed with love for for him). Such a dumb thing to worry about...

I was bald until well over my 1st birthday and I was super cute if I do say so myself! 

At our u/s last Thursday, the tech spotted hair on our little guy.  I think I may be carrying my husband's clone and that none of my genetics will even show up (good thing I like how DH was put together!)

I was bald. (red head) My parents said they used to try to stick bows to my head with velcro so people would stop calling me a boy  ">

@TicketTuesday I have the OPPOSITE fear! I'm afraid this baby will come out with scary hair like I had! I looked like a monkey! So did my husband! Then his hair turned blonde and curly, and I ain't got no time fo' that. I have NO idea how to deal with curly hair. Thankfully, his hair turned dark and straight by the time he was 4 or so, but. I'm gonna feel like people will think our baby is stolen if it has curly blonde hair.

A mini cooler, filled with delicious, ice cold beer, will be delivered to me at the hospital by my BFF. It's already been discussed, and I did the same for her when she had her baby. Beer is the one and only thing that I have craved and yearned for this entire pregnancy, and I will have it as soon as these tiny humans are out of my body. Also? This triplet pregnancy shit is hard, toss in being a SAHM to an insanely active 2 yr old, & partial bed rest...at the end of the day, all I want to do is put my feet up and have a drink. Judge me all you want, don't care!

It is called survival, do what you got to do!  I have so much respect for fellow pregnant women but even more so with those carrying multiples.  You ladies are some tough chicks!

Ay ay ay. I'm not judging anyone for drinking after birth. Drink to your heart's content.
