Drinking my second cup of coffee of the day. But that's a lame confession, so I will also say I am making DW apply the shellac to a lamp I made for a friend so "I don't inhale the fumes" but really I just didn't feel like doing it. The stuff has literally no odor and I don't think she's fooled. The lamp is this fox one: https://matsutakeblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/electrified-fox-lamp-tutorial-and.html
Preach about the coffee! Drank my second cup this morning. Do not feel one bit guilty because now I'm awake and no longer in a foul mood.
I'm justifying laying around on the couch all day because I'm going to a prenatal yoga class this afternoon. That's seriously all I've done today besides eat.
Regarding the poop issue... I NEVER poop in front of DH nor do I ever want to be in the same room as him(or even within a half hour of him doing his business)! I also refuse to poop in public or even at work. I would rather be uncomfortable for hours than do the deed in a public restroom. Pathetic I know, but I just can't!
My FFFC - I live in a coastal state and I pretty much hate everything about the beach.
My friends and family who don't live near the ocean can't understand how I'm not at the beach all the time. It's pretty and all but I can't just go and sit there. Can't I just do that in my air conditioned living room and not get skin cancer?
@jessfragione Exactly! Plus - sand. Eff that noise. Oh, and people. Large crowds of people wanting to be in the same place is not my thing.
It is nice to look at. I like going at night when it's almost dark and walking (to exfoliate my feet the lazy way with few people) OR going to watch the sunrise. Other than that - I'm cool with going whole summers without stepping foot on a beach and I'm about 20 to 30 minutes away from some decent beaches by New England standards. Even if I went to the west coast - I would be like this is cool but where's some nice cold drinks and AC/Shade?
Ugh totally disagree about the beaches!!! I'm currently on a 27 hour car ride with DH and a 15 month old to get to the keys!!! This Chicago summer has sucked ass.
I'm a Minnesotan and I *think* I'd be at the beach EVERYDAY!!! if I lived in a coastal state. Realistically I would be for like 2 weeks, then I'd be like ugh sand/heat/crowd/etc... But I'd love love love to be there for 2 weeks! (Especially during a MN winter)
My FFFC is that I want to punch an ex coworker in the face for always posting about how much money they have and how they're "upgrading" (not remodeling) rooms in their house, getting new (used) vehicles blah blah blah....when in actuality they have jack shit. She used to complain constantly to me, still while writing these posts. She posts "thank god we have so much money to help out family AND friends when they aren't able to help themselves." WHO DOES THAT?! Someone they obviously helped commented "yeah thanks for "helping" me buy our McDonald's the other day because I FORGOT MY WALLET AND PAID YOU BACK THE NEXT DAY" it just kills me. She also has PCOS so whenever I see her she has to chime in how it "must be nice to have so many children and how she wouldn't be able to afford 3!" (Not knowing about our 4th) I'm sure she does feel that way and I'm not trying to discount that, but I don't need to hear it like some guilt trip EVERY TIME I see her. If they're rolling in it, why not try other alternatives for having the children you claim to so desperately want? I just don't get it and it makes my blood boil every time! All about helping others when you can but there is no need to boast on freaking FB. GET OVER YOURSELF!
Regarding the poop issue... I NEVER poop in front of DH nor do I ever want to be in the same room as him(or even within a half hour of him doing his business)! I also refuse to poop in public or even at work. I would rather be uncomfortable for hours than do the deed in a public restroom. Pathetic I know, but I just can't!
I was this way re: office or public pooing until my first pregnancy. The relief from three days worth of constipation will make a public pooper out of anyone.
I would live on the beach if I could. We go to a pretty uncrowded beach every year and I look forward to it all year. Nothing like sitting in a chair by the water with a good book and baking your stress away
I loved going to the beach until I had kids. Can't just sit and relax at the beach anymore have to constantly be watching the kids. I would love to go to the beach and sit and read that would be heaven!
Who hates the beach? That's like saying, "I hate puppies" or "I hate things that bring me joy in life." I'll take you ladies to some LOVELY beaches in my neck of the woods. Native San Diegans know where the non-crowded, non-touristy beaches are. I have beaching down to a science. Plop yourself under an umbrella (no skin cancer, no sweating), pack yourself a cooler with delicious treats/drinks, and bring a good book. Keeps me happy for hours!
Agree @shaunahf I love playing with my kids at the beach (with a large supply of cornstarch on hand!) but I really miss just relaxing in the sun, reading a book and people watching with a nice cold beverage! If I try to read now it's like x is throwing sannnnnd, y is running to the ice cream man and z has his sandy paws in my snack bag!
FTM @Snoopylovesbelle ? Sounds like a dream! I agree though, that's the best way to spend a day at the beach. (With no children)
No pregnant with my second! The beach this year was not relaxing lol. My 18 month old has no fear and went straight for the waves all day. I was exhausted chasing her. I'll be able to relax again one day.
My husband is taking DD for the weekend of my birthday and I'm going to the beach by myself for a few days of peace before the new baby comes
I'm jealous, enjoy!! I can't wait to see my 2 and 3 year old at the ocean this year but at the same time, im exhausted just thinking about it. Hoping my husband and I can sneak away for an hour or two and just relax while the boys are with my in laws....wishful thinking
I've had a migraine nearly all day, DH stayed home from work to watch DD. Totally going to use the fact that I can finally keep food down now to get out of helping with her bath. Eta while I bump and nibble saltines.
I don't know if this counts as a confession but...
I was bump-free all day (aside from my poop post this morning) because my mom took me SHOPPING! I had a complete meltdown last night at her house because I'm moving away next month (which is going to be tough for me because my mom is my BFF) and my mom thought it would help to buy me a pair of Birkenstock's, four SUPER CUTE maternity outfits for later in the pregnancy, a mani and pedi, three pairs of pants for my SO, and a cute belly-friendly yoga outfit. Today was fantastic and much needed!
I'm glad my husband is out of town for the weekend. I've been in a shit mood all day and while he's done absolutely nothing to irritate me, I don't feel like dealing with anyone.
I am 14w 5 d. I haven't had true MS since about 12.5 weeks. My husband is still making his lunches and bringing me breakfast in the morning because I haven't told him I feel better (just fruit and some almonds).
My FFFC is that I don't know what two of the three F's stand for. I assume one of them is Friday, but I guess I could be wrong about that too.
My other FFFC is that both sets of parents are coming today because they are painting the baby room tomorrow. They think I need to be out of the house, bless their hearts, so we are staying at my parents'. The confession part is that we don't need to leave until tomorrow but I am just DYING to ditch my SS on the gpas and leave tonight, as soon as they arrive... (before you judge too harsh, SS is not a weekend child; he lives with us full time.)
My new FFFC is that I just told SO that I want to go tonight (he just got home) and he said, "I don't really want to go tonight" so now I'm crying about jt like the 27 year old I am.
Since I chimed in with the poop talk this morning I thought this was as good of a spot as any to share my mortifying evening. Warming- it's gross. I'll try to keep it short. Background: instead of ms, I get diarrhea attacks that come out of nowhere. I feel queazy and my mouth waters like I'm about to hurl but then it blasts out the other end. Tonight I went out for a family friends bday party. I had to stop at the store for a gift. Half way to the store I feel an attack coming on. I rush to the bathroom but it's got so many other people in there that I just sat and held it in. Finally the feeling passes. Get to the party. It's in the basement of a skeezy bar and it smells like mold is floating through the air. We joke about how we feel like we are in college. We are there for an hour when i get super dizzy, start sweating and think I'm going to pass out. Then it hits me, Its coming now and there is no holding it in this time. I run to the bathroom. Thankfully it's a one room deal. But it's awful. There is standing water on the floor and you have to walk up 3 stairs because the toilet is on a podium. I barely make it and am sitting my bare ass on the nasty seat (that's a confession in itself) and am getting so sick when someone opens the (locked) door. Thankfully it's just my sister checking on me but there she stands, holding the door shut in the room while I sh@t my brains out on a raised disease ridden toilet. She just kept saying 'oh I'm so sorry..." I probably have every college disease from the damn seat!!! Horrible. Horrible.
No poop stories (and I don't poop in front of ANYONE!) but my FFFC is that I'm pretending to be asleep so DH has to look after my DD. He has come in the room a couple of times and quietly asked if I'm awake and I've ignored him and pretended I'm sound asleep when really I'm catching up on the bump! I love my DD immensely but she was up all night sick as anything and my DH just put earplugs in and left me to it!!!
My FFFC - I live in a coastal state and I pretty much hate everything about the beach.
We lived in Myrtle Beach for about 3 yrs. I like the setting and the ambience that the beach gives , but I do not like the sticky sand and the ocean water. Now when we go I like oceanfront hotel with an ocean front pool!
My FFFC is my DH. I'm a teacher so I'm home all day everyday with a 2yr old for the summer. It has rained almost everyday. My 2 yr old is very used to playing with his friends at daycare. But I thought it would be nice to be a SATM this summer. Fail. Husband comes home and I'm happy for the break but don't get one! He's on his phone or sits in the chair and watches tv. He does t want to get on the floor and play with our kiddo. I know he's tired but I am too. I honestly can't wait for school to start!
I would live on the beach if I could. We go to a pretty uncrowded beach every year and I look forward to it all year. Nothing like sitting in a chair by the water with a good book and baking your stress away
This - for those of you who think you would be at the beach everyday, because you love it, probably would! I lived in Colorado (also beautiful) but now live in a small beach town in California and I can honestly say there is rarely a day that goes by that I'm not at the beach. Everyone told me I would get tired of it but 3 years in and I still play there with my dog or on a surf board or just in the sand and relaxing every day.
My FFFC is that I secretly LOVE when DH gets out of bed every morning an hour before me so I can stretch out and take up the entire freaking bed. He very sweetly sets his alarm twice, once so he can snuggle for 15 minutes and once that tells him "ok seriously time to get up". I love him, but I also love that second alarm.
So I know it's Saturday, but it's still really early so I'm still counting it as Friday!
My FFFC: Someone responded to a post I wrote on a very neutral topic as "horrifying" and I literally LOL'ed at that one. What I said was not "horrifying." Racism is horrifying, rape is horrifying, forcing children to fight in war is horrifying. My respectfully stated and honest opinion on a pregnancy board is not horrifying. Opinions are like butt holes. Everybody has one and if you don't like mine, go sniff somebody else's.
(Side note: I must be maturing or something (or finally learned to use this board correctly!) because where I once may have been mildly offended, I now find to be absolutely hilarious.)

Leaving? ! You're missing today's heat advisory and tornado watch!
Do you know what we could use though? More RAIN! UGH! so lame.
