FFFC

ashleymarie1027

Saw this was started yet and I've got one this week... So here goes!

LO had a Bad tummy day on Tuesday and threw up lots, everywhere. He was doing good Wednesday morning, so we thought we'd be in the clear for his two month check up Wednesday evening, which includes his first round of shots. Well he got SUPER mad about the shots (who wouldn't) and DH scooped him up to comfort him.

FFFC#1: I was really jealous that I didn't get to be the one comforting him. I get to spend more time with LO and I should have been happy that DH got this moment with him

FFFC#2: DH gave him milk (maybe an ounce?) from a bottle to help soothe him and the second DH put him in the car seat, he threw up everywhere. I didn't feel guilty watching DH clean up the mess then or washing the car seat later

I'm considering giving my dogs to a family member....I'm emotional about it. They are small dogs and bark at everything and it wakes up Baylor. This morning one of them jumped on him and woke him up at 5am when dh opened the bedroom door. They pee and poop in the house every night because dh doesn't take them out or put them in their crate. This makes us argue andI'mtired of arguing about the dogs. All of these are totally trainable behaviors but it's impossible to get dh to get on board and be consistent. Which we also argue about....it just sucks.

This may or may not be convenient but, have you thought of an at home trainer? Someone who comes to the house and trains them with you one on one. Your DH may not be on board but, maybe you could get the job done with paid help?

Whatever you do, don't pull a funnibunni

My FFFC

I thought I put on Chapstick today but, it made my lips stick together. So, now I'm not sure if it was really crappy chapstick or a fancy looking glue stick....either way I had to get my lips unstuck.

Nichole8787

@jensavicci‌ I haven't considered that. It's worth a try. The only way we'd give them away is if it was tho his parents who love them or my dad who literally lives in a farm...if my brother wasn't in college I'd give them to him. My brother loves the dogs more then the baby....I'm not giving them to just anyone.

FFFC: I had at least 3 confessions through out the week & have been happily waiting on Friday to get here. Now that Friday is here, I can't remember any confessions. I'm tired.

Skeemer

oooh oooh! I remember one!

FFFC:
I joined Planet Fitness just like I suspected I would because their new gym in my town is AH-MAZING & super affordable. However, I still think they are just ridiculous for their stupid "Lunk Alarm", Pizza Mondays & Bagel Tuesdays. So, I feel like a hypocrite. But yesterday I was a hypocrite sitting in a luxurious massage chair after my upper body workout.

Yea, give it a shot! We had plans of getting a puppy this year but decided not to because it was just going to be a lot of extra work especially with a newborn. So, my sister decided to keep the little guy and she's paid a house trainer to come and work with her. He's doing very well and actually caught on pretty quickly. Plus, the trainer has a very loving attitude towards the little guy. So, for you, it could be worth it!

I'm one of those people that overplay music when I find something I like. Ed sheerans new cd has been in non stop.

Got pulled over in a school zone going almost 20 over (wouldn't have been speeding if it wasn't school hours though). Told cop we were on our way to an apt for DS as he was crying in the back the cop looked at me and then DS and handed me back my license and insurance card and said, "Drive safe and slow it down".... We headed to our "apt" at target for diapers and coffee.

BARF.

My FFFC: I don't have child care today because my mom is taking care of my neices. I'm supposed to be working part time from home (3 hours a day) to get caught up before I go back full time in a few weeks. Instead I'm watching Kelly and Michael, bumping, ordering groceries and planning my walk route/schedule between feedings and picking up DS from school.

Pimples. scabs. And peeling skin. I secretly love peeling away all the skin and try to get the biggest piece possible. It's like a game.

So when you ladies see a whitehead you don't have the urge to pop it and get satisfaction when white bacteria oozes out? I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE

ashleymarie1027

I have another one (which might also be a UO): the "all natural ", "organic" trend really bugs me... The terms are just so ambiguous. Technically, every carbon-based life form is organic. And when did "natural" become anything a human didn't do? Ugh.

I mean I get the point of it all, I just get the impression most people jump on the bandwagon without thinking.

So I guess my confession here is that I'm a super nerd/ intellectual smart ass.

Yesssssss. All the skin. I peel my lips and while it burns like a mutha afterwards, I am so satisfied when I get a big piece.

I have made every attempt to gain weight, eating all the carbs because they are so delicious. I don't even care. I just tell myself I'll work on it when I start work.

I ate so many delicious Reese's pieces yesterday it made me sick.

Oh man I do this too! ( with the lips) it's terrible and DH hates it but it's so addicting. I really need to grow up and break that habit.

DD has a diaper rash that probably merits a trip to the pedi but I haven't taken her, choosing instead to try and clear it up at home (Triple Paste, wiping with only water, hydrocortisone, diaper-free time, etc). The prospect of hauling all three kids 30 minutes each way to the pedi and paying the $20 co-pay for him to tell me to just keep doing what I'm doing isn't at all tempting.

darkangel42

Background: LO was sleeping 8 hours a night, not quite through but good enough for me. Last few days she's been up every 2 hours so I'm tired. Last night, she'd leaked so I had to change her outfit as well and she screamed because she was cold. OH woke up, insisted it was a pain cry and stared at me like I should do something. I told him he was wrong, she's fine and to leave me alone unless he's going to feed her. He swore at me (he does when he's woken up at night).

I told him to sleep in the spare room for yelling at me and bugged him until he did.

Confession: I don't care he yelled at me, I just wanted to starfish. I'm also not sorry for bugging him, I'm tired dammit.

If you breastfeed you might try putting breastmilk on the rash, I swear that stuff is awesome. I just put some pumped milk on a cottonball and rub it on the rash and the next morning it was good.

I've also tried Desitin which works better on my DD than other brands. I hate going to the pedi and I don't have three kids or a 30 minute drive so I understand your hesitation!

Ugh, that would piss me off and I don't even like dogs all that much. Are they dogs you got together or were they your dogs before you married? I would think having to clean up pee and poop would be enough incentive to take the dogs out at night.

You know, I may just try the breast milk. I've always heard it's a cure-all but I've never tried it. Thanks!

It's been raining all week. Wednesday I walked to the daycare (8 minutes walk) from my house to go pick him up in his little buggy thing. I totally forgot an umbrella or a blanket to keep him dry. It started raining and we had to stand under an awning for 20 minutes while the rain slowed to a drizzle. I then covered him from the neck down in clean prefold diapers to try and keep him as dry as possible while I hobbled home.

My toddler HATES having his ears cleaned. I told him there were bugs in his ears and I had to clean them out. Now he asks for me to clean them at least once a day. I've probably traumatized him for life, but at least he has clean ears.

I dropped LO as I was picking her up out of her swing yesterday. No clue how it happened. She just slipped! Luckily, she was only an inch or two above the seat and she didn't seem to notice that I traumatized her.

I'm in Boston for the week with LO and DH while he's working. We are going home tonight and he did zero packing of any of his stuff this morning before heading to his confernence. He smiled all lovingly at me, said I love you, will you pack my stuff, I will buy you a massage this weekend when we get home.

I was going to pack all his stuff anyway, even without him asking. Totally not going to tell him this so I can get my massage.

#2 I really wish I could remember last night's dream. I woke with with "Deep in the Heart of Texas" stuck in my head.

Reading that really made me want to blow my nose.....

Just my .02, but if your DH isn't willing to even let them out to relieve or crate them, extra training won't do much good. Training is not really about the dog's behavior. It's establishing or changing a relationship between dog and person. Dogs do what they are allowed to do. You can't change dog behavior without changing people behavior. Without a willingness to change on your DH's end, I personally, wouldn't pay for additional training.

Sorry you are having to think about giving your dogs up!

I returned to work this week and my parking pass still works. I haven't paid since May. I park in a poorly managed crappy lot about a block from my building. A lady sits in an office a few hours a day the last 3 days of the month and accepts cash/checks. I'm fairly certain they have absolutely no accounting system for who has a pass, the pass # and if they've paid. 

I don't feel bad whatsoever that it still works and I'm not sure if I'm going to write a check for October...

MIL came over to show us how to make pumpkin pie with the pumpkin we grew this summer...I could have easily looked it up online and done it myself but I agreed to it for DH...she's being super bossy (ie not letting me use my own pie plates because hers are "better and more expensive") and yelled at DH because I have my flour in the bag it came in, wrapped nicely inside a larger plastic bag but that's not good enough we are going to get cupboard bugs!

LO needed to be fed so I took her up to her room to nurse her and even though she's done now and sleeping I'm staying up here until the ragey feeling goes away

DH and I have been planning on moving down south by mid next year. We had planned to start house shopping in February but I managed to convince him that we should go next week since he has a few days off and I'm still on maternity leave. I told him I can't wait to move so that I can quit my awful job and stay home with DD but I didn't tell him the other reason I'm anxious to move--we need to get the hell away from his BSC family.

I wondered about this last night, as I was eating a bowl of ice cream. How many people eat crap while sitting and watching it?

Normally we have turkey bacon in the house. Well I bought thick cut regular bacon and DH complained. I said I must have picked it up by mistake...

Nope. I fully intended on buying that delicious thick cut bacon. It was amazing and DH cooked it and had to deal with all the popping and splatter  )

I work two 12 hour night shirts a week, typically one week day and one weekend day. They nights I work during the week both kids go to a MDO 9:30-2:30 so I get about 4 hours of sleep while they are gone. This week I got a phone call from my daughters teacher asking if I was on my way since both kids were still there....it was 2:45 and I live 15 min from the church! I felt horrible! I must have turned off my alarm and kept on sleeping.. Thankfully the teachers were super nice and my babies didn't seem to be too bothered by it but I will now start putting my phone across the room on MDO days!

Best part....in my hurry to get out the door I put my husbands pants on instead of mine, I was in the car wondering why the hell they wouldn't button (he's a cross country runner and I'm totally not)
