Confessing that the student or teacher who looks at me wrong today will be facing my wrath. I woke up stabby, feeling ultra stabby after I got to work and someone stole my parking spot (on a Friday...where I have been parking since LAST YEAR...who the eff do you think you are taking a spot the same car has been in for over a year?!?), still feeling stabby about the large amount of people I saw breaking traffic laws yesterday.
Here's another confession concerning those crappy drivers...I honk at drivers who are texting and driving and when I get their attention (which sometimes takes a bit because...they're not paying attention anyway...) I make a "phone" with my hand and "slam" it down angrily. DH tells me I need to stop because people are crazy and someone will come after me. But I'm sick of people putting not only my life in danger on the road unnecessarily, but putting my DAUGHTER'S life in danger because their phone is just too important to focus on driving...
I judge peoples food choices at the grocery store when they are checking out in front of me . 99% of the time people don't even have one single item that I call " real food" . It's all garbage and that's why there's an obesity problem in the U.S. .
I called off work today because it's the first day in weeks I woke up and actually felt normal. Not to mention, it's perfect fall weather today. I felt a little bad when my boss said "Hope you feel better!" Oh well. I'm going to enjoy my day off guilt free.
I bought a big grab bag of candy (warheads, sour patch, bubble gum, sweet tarts, other deliciousness) for the pinata at my sons birthday party this weekend. I've eaten WAY more than I'd like to admit.
3 miscarriages - 1 DS (6) - 1 DD (3) - #3 due March 30!
I flame Grey's Anatomy. I have watched loyally for 11 seasons. And it has been going down hill for awhile. And now it is just terrible. I hope this is the last season but they don't have any plot lines left.

I quite watching when I heard they killed off McDreamy. I watched it on DVR, so when I read on Facebook the next day that he died, I didn't watch the one I had saved and I cut it from my list of shows to record. Haven't watched a minute of it since.
@Jonesl12 - YES Yesterday I went food shopping and was thinking the exact same thing!!!
YUP and YUP!
my DD brought home a fundraising kit and it's full of SUPER OVERPRICED CRAP. I'm appalled. Like opened it thinking I can totally find SOMETHING to spend money on but 32 sq ft of wrapping paper for $9?! Does it wrap itself?! Even the chocolate, the sweet sugary goodness - $10 for 15 tiny, prob shitty tasting PB cups?! PSSHT. FTS - I'm all about helping out schools but jeezer find something relate-able! I told my husband I'd gladly donate a check to the school and skip the overpriced junk!
We did a mini session for family pics with a photographer on DS' first birthday, I just emailed them yesterday to claim our 10 pictures from the shoot. DS will be 2 on the 26th of this month.
I forgot DD's lunch at home this morning ( I know I am not the first parent to forget their kid's lunch, but in daycare/preschool they don't have the option to buy lunch. I felt like a horrible horrible mom as she stared at me with her big blue eyes when I carried her in...she's not even 2 so she didn't really understand, but I wanted to cry because I felt like I failed her (it had already been a long morning, and her daycare/my work are 25+ minutes from home).
FWIW to me, she had two containers of yogurt left in her classroom fridge she hadn't eaten earlier this week, plus some fruit, and several snacks that are kept in her cubby for her "hungry" days...I feel like she deserves pizza tonight (her favorite food).
My confession is that I secretly feel envious/annoyed when women come on the site complaining that they have no pregnancy symptoms. Really?!?! You're complaining that you aren't worshiping the porcelain throne like the rest of us?!?! I know it's not their fault that they aren't feeling anything but still I want to tell them to quit whining. I'm just having a moment today..

I generally agree, but then i remember i had minimal symptoms with my first pregnancy and ended up misscarying, so im glad ive felt much worse this time. I think i would worry more if i had felt good like i did last time around. I do hate brag-complaining about no symptoms tho...

Yeah, I had a lot of awful symptoms with my first. That ended up being ectopic.
I get stabby when I see people announcing pregnancies earlier than 12 weeks at a minimum. I think people are naive and don't realize that having had a healthy pregnancy in the past doesn't mean you won't miscarry in the future. I get that some people say "oh I wouldn't be ashamed of a mc" but that's not the point. I'm not ashamed of mine either and I even blogged about my first once we had privately mourned it. I just think the majority of early announcers don't realize how common it is and that if they do have to endure one, they probably won't want social media asking how they're doing until they've had time to heal on their own.
First BFP 12/2012, MMC at 9 weeks
Second BFP 6/2013, resulted in DS, born 2/23/14 :-)
Third BFP 5/2015, natural MC at 6 weeks
Fourth BFP 8/2015, hoping for sticky little brother or sister to H!

I once yelled at a lady for doing this, and the beauty of it was, if she got to wherever she was going and told anybody about it, there's no way she could tell that story without sounding like an a-hole... "I was texting and driving and some crazy lady yelled at me..." LOL

I definitely judge those who announce on FB super early. I had an acquaintance (also due in April) announce at the 7 week mark, which was extra awkward because they came out and said they weren't trying and this one was an "oops" before dad was able to schedule a vasectomy. I saw another one on the CSFTL site where they announced that they were due in June 2016 - that was a week or two ago so she would have been 5 weeks along at most. That's just crazy early! I had a CP and I'm not at all ashamed, but I also wouldn't want to announce to the world and then be questioned about it every day.

I am 14 weeks and still haven't really told anyone. Don't plan to ever put it on FB. I get a little stabby when people do.
Maybe I am a bit bitter, though because my first pregnancy was ectopic, so I really haven't gotten to enjoy this one.
Seriously, the girls at work and I usually cover each other when we need to leave early or come in late (our surpervisor doesn't work in our building). Well, I need to leave early today because I have a physical therapy appointment for SEVERE back pain, and low and behold my coworker gets a call from her son's school saying they are getting out early (due to lots of rain and flooding potential) and she calls me from her lunch break and says, "Sorry, I'm not coming back! Got to get my son!" OK, so go get him and bring him home and freakin' come back to work! He's 13, he can stay by himself for a few hours, and YOU LEFT EARLY YESTERDAY!!!!
A coworker said to me this afternoon, "You look tired." I said, "Gee, thanks." How come people think this is okay to say to people you're tired looking? What if they're not and you just insulted how they look? Confession: I am tired.

I get this from my parents ALL the time. Pretty much whenever I see them. You know what? I am tired! But stop using it as your way to tell me I look like hell

I almost announced mine before 12 weeks because I honestly didn't care if I have a miscarriage. At one point I thought I was about to and that only made me want to announce it more. Then this lady I know lost her child after 16 weeks right after they announced the sex. Which made me feel like man I can lose this child at any time, so why wait. I know it's extremely common like 1 in 3 women have miscarriages and if I'm that one then I'm that one. The only reason I didnt announce before 12 was because I was holding off for my cousin to have time to take my the pictures we wanted to use as announcement.
I have been completely worthless at work this week to the point of if my boss were here I'd probably get fired. Finding it hard to find motivation to care about work.
I love my SIL dearly - totally awesome person and we get along great. She has a little business on Etsy for jewelry and she is always asking for me to promote and pin and share and post etc etc etc... and I do.
But I have to say, I think her stuff is ugly and overpriced. Now she is trying to expand by doing these jewelry candles and I just don't get it. She is so excited but I can't seem to give a crap about it because I think it's dumb. I have never, and will never tell her this - like I said, always willing to support and promote, but dang her stuff is terrible!

This was my thinking too originally. But then I also know I felt so alone because I kept it a secret. I wished my friends, coworkers or others knew what I went through. I had to secretly heal through numerous losses and I regret ever having to do so because my parents and husband can only do so much. So while not everyone finds announcing in the first trimester favorable which is okay by me. This article I read helped me see why it also can be a good thing to do depending on your preference.
We are waiting until after we get all our results back before we're saying anything with this one. But thinking about to when I carried a baby secretly up to 18 weeks only to find out he was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 and he was guaranteed not to live jacked me up and I still regret not letting anyone know. One of my friends who recently had a miscarriage posted this article on her facebook which I thought was a good read.
My confession is I want to B**** slap my SIL and her husband. We told her we were pregnant and then two weeks later found out they were gonna start trying for a second child as well. What bothers me about this is ever since she had my nephew, four years ago, her and her husband always said they were done. They said one and done, and everybody in the family secretly agreed because ever since they had him they have had serious financial problems. The filed for bankruptcy less than a year after having him. Currently live in an awful house that isn't even theirs, it's his grandparents, and just got approved for house loan plus another $40,000 remodel loan to fix up the house. They used MORE THAN half the $40,000 on debt from passed do bills, credit cards, etc. WTF!!!! What did they spend it on? Because it wasn't their son, the house, or a car. Oh!! AND they bought a brand new motorcycle for him when he doesn't even have a car to get to and from work. They have to share her car, which isn't even paid off yet. That motorcycle will do him zero good in a month when it starts snowing!! Do they really think bringing a second child into that situation is smart? It just irks me soooo bad and I just want to slap them both and say , seriously morons?
Earlier, I made a s'more in the microwave using my son's graham crackers, a dark chocolate candy disc that is intended to be stirred into coffee, and a very stale marshmallow. I guess my nausea is improving and my cravings have started up, because I needed to have a s'more, like, that second. Shame spiral.
I have eaten nearly 3 cans of refried beans this week because I've eaten 2 bean burritos every single day. (Shockingly, this has not made me any more gassy than normal.)
I think the last time I ate refried beans pre-pregnancy was probably several years ago.

Oh my gosh a bean burrito sounds so good right now!! Not even a good one though... like a Taco Bell one! **drooling**
I dropped my phone into the toilet filled with pee this morning.....
That really sucks! I'm sorry! If it makes you feel any better my almost 2 year old clogged the sink with a towel and turned the water on high while I was making lunch. I didn't know until my bathroom, bedroom, and hallway was flooded...total mom fail. Only bright side is it's laminate flooring so easy to pick up.

Ugh right there with you! After all the years I've invested in this show I'm not going to stop watching, but damn they need to pull the plug already!!!

I did it... Got two on my way home from work and it was glorious! Not even ashamed!
Let me clarify. I don't think anybody should ever have to hide a miscarriage. I just think a lot of people don't realize how many people are actually their friends on fb. I have no idea what the average is but I can guarantee that you're not close and have a support system with 500 plus people. I've absolutely told a few close friends about this pregnancy and would go through a potential loss with them. I also publicly posted about my miscarriage but I waited until I had gone through it first. I just think people don't realize that if you announce it to everyone and then miscarry, that everyone is going to have something to say, everyone is going to want to know what is going on etc, and usually when someone miscarries they aren't ready to discuss it immediately.

I have disowned my BFF yesterday because she announced she is pregnant, due in June but she won't accept she's pregnant until she has had one more drunken night. She is no lightweight by any means. Not to mention we had a girls weekend a two weeks ago and she got so drunk she blacked out. To make matters worse she miscarried in April, but refuses to see that maybe her drinking caused the mc. Nothing I've said in the past has done anything so I give up. I wish 8 could call CPS
Ummmmm miscarriages are usually inevitable in the first trimester, most of them are chromosomal. I definitely agree, she needs to cut the drinking. That said I don't think it is a likely culprit that caused a miscarriage.
