My confession of the day:
I'm holding back tears and debating about what kind of mean words I want to scream at my husband right now . . . Sitting in the lobby of the body shop waiting on an estimate.


. . . Oops! Posted before I was done typing.


So they came back with the estimate and are saying that this car will need almost $4,000 worth of repairs. To fix a hood latch that broke loose. They said its from collision of some sort, which I know my husband has hit some stuff but mostly this was before I even knew him; he rear-ended someone about 3 years ago so I don't know why this is happening now.

We don't have $4,000, or we'd be replacing the car. It's an '04 Civic with just over 155,000 miles on it, KBB value on a similar car in fair condition is about $2,000.

So I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I cried, UGLY cried all the way home. This is our only car and DH's only way to get to and from work (and our only way to get things like groceries).

I have a feeling DS is going to get more screen time and more fruit juice than is normal healthy for a 2-year old today because I don't have the emotional capacity to respond to tantrums today.

Uh oh. That sounds bad. TGIF, right?

I've cancelled plans with friends twice to veg out at the pool. I feel terrible about it but I have zero energy and these 95+ degree days are not helping.

SweetnSassy23

I am completely over today. I want to be home already. Between tiredness and people bitching on the bump about comments, I am over everyone.

Looks like were using this one? OK! 

I'm extremely unhappy about dh having to fly out to california on business next week. I dont like the idea of being alone here while Im not allowed to drive. Terrified something will happen and I just know no one here yet so its not like I could get a ride if something were to happen to me, baby, or the pup. 5 days is too long right now, since im bascially house bound without dh.

I'm up early on my day off to go buy donuts . I've had a rough week at work.

It's 10:00am.  I've been up since 6:00am.  So far, I got dressed, ate breakfast, and...that's it.

My FFFC:
Yesterday I walked two miles and then on the way home stopped for a cherry slurpee

double2rouble

My inlaws wanted to come out this month.  They are super bad with electronics so I thought if i waited long enough they would just not come.  Nope, now i'm responsible for finding the ticket at a 'good price'

My confession... sometimes I like to lurk on the baby shower board because people post the most ridiculous questions and there is a whole posse of women who just comes in and smacks them down. I find it highly entertaining.

If anyone thinks our board is rude or b*tchy, please go read the baby shower board. You will find we are very friendly in comparison.

tate62610

Lol! Shower board is hilarious

shannond21228

I totally lurk on other boards and read all the snarky goodness.

DeeGreer

It took me 30 minutes to fill in my eyebrows today. DAMN YOU ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS AND THE PRESSURE YOU MAKE ME FEEL TO HAVE FABULOUS EYEBROWS ALL THE TIME! I didn't even do my hair. Helloooo headband.

Me too, but I'm happy when it stays on other boards.

lol. I told my husband as soon as I pass, we're going to get ice cream! I'm not sure if holding out on sweets for two weeks will make any difference, but it makes me feel better. But in the meantime, what I wouldn't give for some froyo.

alinic916

I like to look at the june/july month boards to see what we have to look forward (or not look forward) to!

@baconlady I was just thinking I need to go to dunkin to get donuts and iced coffee!!! It's becoming a really bad habit.

We ordered Mellow Mushroom last night since we have visitors who love it and don't have one locally where they live. My husband and I ordered a medium pizza which was cut into 6 gigantic slices. I ate two which was the equivalent of at least 1/3 of the entire pizza. It tasted super good, but man did I feel it afterwards. I've been eating healthy so far so at least it's not part of a bigger pattern, but I definitely can't keep that up!

@MirandaC1984 that sounds like a glorious way to spend your time.

Sbrouwer0706

I haven't worn any makeup all week. On Monday, I spent $70 on makeup. My husband called me out on the irony but I don't care. I want all the pretty things but I'm too lazy to do anything with it. 

rhiannonbaca

It's 7:40 and I have be at work by 8. I am still in bed, dog is licking my face. It's Friday, I go on vacation tomorrow, and I'm SO OVER WORKING.

satori15

I feel super fat but have a really hard time controlling the crap going in my mouth (which I previously was actually quite good about). Sigh, I'll lose the weight. I just don't understand why it was so much easier with DS.

On another note, I love you guys! Started reading the two most recent inflammatory threads (didn't finish) but there are so many well-informed and thoughtful women on this board. And I love the gifs.

jlculpeps

I woke up reallllly wanting McDonald's for breakfast. I gave in and got my egg mcmuffin meal, and I'm completely unsatisfied. I'm still hungry and just want another egg mcmuffin.

aah1013

My daughter asked to bake cookies at 7:30 this morning. I was only willing to because I figured, what's better than fresh baked cookies and coffee for breakfast? I ate far too many and feel sick to my stomach.

On the plus side, I've got a load of baby stuff in the wash.

Edit: because autocorrect sucks.

adriennerose80

I've been playing on this board way too much this week because it is slooooooow at work. And I just ate a bagel but I really want to grab a doughnut, and I don't even like doughnuts, but I think I am going to eat one anyway.

jstmbgh

Now I really want a donut, a huge one with cinnamon swirl and caramel icing. That might be lunch today.

FFFC -I never wear makeup and now I stopped doing my hair too. Laziness has taken over! :-(

I am a pretty passive person. I love this board because of all of the differing opinions and respectful discussions. I would like to channel some of your assertiveness. (seriously something that I am trying to improve in myself ). I have learned so much from everyone. Even when I don't agree I like to consider other viewpoints. So THANK YOU O15 BMB.

Sorry that was all over the place!

My confession- I hate vegetables. I eat them maybe 1x/day...and thats it. I even told my dr I have vegetable guilt, and he said its ok...try to do what you can but know the baby is getting what he needs. I STILL feel bad though but I just...can't. The 1st trimester aversion still lingers... 

baconlady

@aprosch lol that good stuff is addicting.

I confess I've been totally slacking with physical activity. I was told to only walk/swim for two weeks due to a pulled muscle in my stomach and I haven't done shit all week! Its been 2 weeks so I dragged my ass to crossfit this morning and although I felt exhausted I feel slightly accomplished again. Now if only I could get donuts and McDonalds out of my head that would be great. 

devonsd315

now the only thing I can think about is how much I want a donut. Thanks ladies.

I have two more:

1). I will get seriously ragey if I go on Facebook today and might end up having to block some people. I can't deal with the comments coming from the news that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. I believe in free speech and all but this is one area where I think the "if you don't have anything nice to say, shut the eff up" adage applies.

2). I'm seriously considering going to Krispy Kreme for some donuts.

I found out the repairs needed to fix the car DH and I share will be 10 times what I thought and twice the value of the car.

devonsd315

@MamaOwl15 I hadn't heard the news about SSM being ruled legal! wow what fantastic news!

This week, to save my sanity, I have used the lovely "hide but remain friends" feature of facebook many times for this reason and for the countless ignorant confederate flag posts (God bless the South). 

Krysta6

I also want to confess that the supreme court ruling actually brought me to tears! I'm so grateful this is finally a reality for my friends and loved ones!!! 

@mamaowl15 I went through my Facebook when Caitlyn Jenner stuff happened. I had to decide who I wanted to completely unfriend and who would notice so I just removed them from my feed but remained friends with them. It upset me so much that I almost posted equally hateful stuff on their posts but luckily my husband encouraged me to take a deep breathe and get them off my news feed.

baconlady

I didn't mean to be bad influence with the donuts guys ! do enjoy! For lunch we shall all be healthy- Veggies and all. @MamaOwl15 oh em gee ... We have no Krispy Kreme around here . So jealous those are some of my fav!

I've done that with a couple of friends and family members I don't want to unfriend but who constantly post inflammatory political stuff.

I guess the news came out today (no pun intended). I agree this is fantastic news.
