FFFC 11/20

Let's move on from those UO's from yesterday and dish out those confessions.

Charla1224

I haven't shaved in a really embarrassing amount of time. It's so unlike me too. But I get overheated in the shower and don't like spending long periods of time in there. So, shaving hasn't been happening as frequently as it should. 

Yesterday I got a pedicure, today I have a doctors appointment, and hubs scheduled for me to have a massage this evening. I'll be a prickly lady through all of it and I should care but I don't... at least not enough to shave.

From my double FFFC post:

I decided while I was peeing today that I don't want to change my last name. Why? Because its a pain in the ass. I don't want to go to the SS office, I don't want to go to the DMV. I know that I can mail in my application, but I don't feel comfortable in mailing all my original documents and drivers license. So I am telling DH I am just going to have his last name in spirit. I really wanted us to have a "family name" but why should I spend time and money changing licenses, passports and everything else?

I ate fast food twice this week :O The fries were so good!

@charla1224 the no shaving thing has gotten to the point where I am considering it a lifestyle now. MH joked that I was participating in "No Shave November" too, but really it is "No Shave Since the Summer and No Shave Again Until After This Baby Comes Out of Me" I can pretend to be a crunchy granola natural woman until then. BURN ALL THE BRAS!

This is pretty tame, but I'm embarrassed about it.  I usually don't download any games on my phone because I don't need another time suck in my life.  Lord knows I spend enough time on TB.  Anyway,  I've been obsessed with playing Trivial Pursuit.  I play it in bed before I fall asleep and right after I wake up.  I've even been answering questions at the stop light.  I just need to delete it.

During a Grey's Anatomy break I watched Privete Practice on Netflix to hold me over. I just recently finished watching the entire series a second time, so basically yeah, I'm lame.

I have been playing Christmas music for 3 weeks.

I'm getting tired of feeling like I'm spending all of my energy teaching and feeling like I'm running on empty when I get home. Also, count me as part of the Addicted-to-The-Bump Club. I check this way too often many days. In the morning, while I eat breakfast/lunch (at work...not so much at home), sometimes when students are taking a quiz or working on an exit slip, on my prep when I hit grading-overload and need 2 minutes. It's bad.

I just got back to work after being out for a week with pneumonia. I watched the entire third season of Girls on HBOgo. I have the biggest love/hate relationship with that show. Sometimes I get so uncomfortable I take the headphones out of the iPad, but I can't quit that show.

My FFFC is that I'm the only one who knows how to do my job at my office and because I've been tired lately, I keep saying I'm busy so I have more time to finish easy projects (in between researching baby stuff and bumping), and everyone is still so impressed.... I can never tell them I could have done that in 30 minutes vs the 2 day lead time I gave them.

Jesse835235

Also part of the addicted to the Bump club. TB just makes conference calls so much  more bearable. 

On that note.  I'm logging off and will not return until lunch or later because I am swamped.  Happy Friday everyone!

I also have been bumping way too much.

My confession is this: My daughter likes to hide from me or play by herself very quietly when she had a dirty diaper because she doesn't like getting changed. I used to make her change it right away, but now I play along and let her hide for 10 minutes or so... Because, well, that's 10 minutes of peace and quiet for me.

mrstmoose

Almost daily I hope my clients don't show up. I just don't have the patience right now. I'd rather bump and doing other things. 

My little brother is proposing to his (extremely awful) girlfriend within the next two weeks and I really wish she does something so awful that he dumps her. I know it won't happen but I can hope. I can't believe our child will have to call her aunt. It's going to be a hot mess of a marriage. I also don't have the patience for her stupidity so I'm afraid I'm going to say something.

Charla1224

@laurenmdrn16 I could definitely pass as a crunchy granola... maybe that's the route I should go because shaving isn't happening any time soon. 

I have a second confession:

My H and I have decided that I'm staying home after LO comes therefore I have absolutely no motivation at work. Basically it's become a 6 month place holder where I can bump and research all things baby.

I'll join you here!  I love having Netflix on in the back, and my favorite show is Grey's Anatomy.  I've watched the entire SERIES about 7 or 8 times

My FFFC:

DH has to leave for work in 2.5 hours.  He has to finish writing a paper for school, and pack his hunting gear since he is leaving straight after work to head up north.  He is currently sleeping on the couch.  I refuse to wake him up. 

autumnlynne1221

As a Flordian I have to say that I hate the snow birds! I know they are great for the economy and all but they drive so slow. I have to drive to an island that doubles in population during the winter. It takes almost double the time now to get to work. 30mph in a 50 mph zone in both lanes, why? At least I have job security in the medical field down here. Lol

I confess I am still going to bed at 830 every night exhausted. WHERE ARE YOU ENERGY??? So i am totally out of the first trimester now... VERY ready for all the energy to come back and hormones to simmer down.  Ready for the second trimester full of glowing skin, energy and friskyness!

@rlworzalla Just curious, why won't you wake him up? I would be so panicked if I had all of that stuff to do and someone didn't wake me up knowing that I had to do it all. I am having an anxiety attack on behalf of your H! I am also an extreme planner so that could be why, too...

I was sick on Wednesday and watched a season of Are You The One? on MTV...

He has been laying on the couch, in and out of sleep.  When he's awake, I remind him that he needs to get up, but I'm also not his alarm clock.  I'm the planner, he's always waiting til the last minute.  He can work on his paper at work, and he has everything laid out for hunting in the spare bedroom.  He'll be rushed, but he knows what he needs to do and has the ability to set an alarm to wake up   He just doesn't want to!

Edited: He is now up

@rlworzalla Ahhhhh it is all making sense now! H is the exact same way and it drives me CRAZY! But, of course, I can't relax until I know he is up and moving. So frustrating.

I don't know what reddit is or understand how it works. I feel like I should since I run a blog. I feel old.

Yes, he does it ALL the time.  He knew he had stuff to do, and now tells me he needs to be into work early.  I should be thankful that he has some of his stuff done!

It feels like a big, forum monster to me. DH and I constantly go back and forth about reddit. He has found some subreddits that he likes a lot-- some for entertainment, others for things like finance and he has repeatedly encouraged me to try to find some that I like. I have tried several, but never have felt a positive sense of community in them. In some, I have felt unwelcome as a woman; others just feel like a bunch of drive-by posts. I do like the AMAs though.

I am horrible at remembering dates and MH is way too good to me. Flowers at work? Yes please!

I don't feel like putting up Christmas decorations or a tree. Especially because my toddler will probably just break everything

I can't stand my two dogs.  Ever since I had my daughter 6 months ago I know they don't get the attention that they need and deserve but we're so busy with her.  They're always crawling all over us while we try to feed her or get her to sleep because they want attention. I don't know what to do about it but they're seriously driving me crazy.  I'm to the point where I want them gone but I know most of it is just pregnancy annoyance.  It's not their fault but I just can't stop myself from dreaming of them not being a problem anymore.

Are you exercising them? I know my beagle acts up like a little demon dog if she doesn't get enough exercise.

I'm losing patience with my 11th grade students a bit more than usual. I haven't lashed out or anything, but I've been clenching my jaw/taking some deep  breaths. Yesterday, we spent 50 of the 80 minute block discussing 1)  how to break down an (in-class) essay prompt 2) How to effectively compress the brainstorming process and play to the way your mind works 3) Reviewed how to form a thesis statement, and how a thesis statement impacts the structure of an essay 4) Reviewed a sample student essay on the same prompt that I gave them. Last, as a group, we brainstormed and charted a step-by step process for what to do to attack a timed essay prompt in order to summarize. They had the last 30 minutes to write. 10 minutes into their writing time, a student (without learning disabilities) complains to me, "I can't believe you expect me to write a page on this. I don't even know where to start. You need to give us like a step by step breakdown or something!" Luckily, in the time it took me to smile and take a breath, another student laid into her that that's exactly what we had been doing. She replied that she was thinking about her Friday night plans. *Sigh* TGIF

Every time I see FBF, I think "fro back friday". And why is this necessary when there is TBT?

I have been a hateful b**** lately. I'm normally really good at controlling my emotions and being polite to strangers even when I think they're complete idiots. Lately though I have no patience and have been snapping at people. I should feel bad because this isn't like me, but I don't. At all. I didn't have any of this anger when I was pregnant with DD so I'm not sure what's gotten into me!

yogahh

I like when we get get "numb" and "skull" theory posts...I like an excuse to pull out the good gifs!

Sunshinebins

Lame one: I had pizza dipped in ranch for dinner last night and purposefully saved the leftovers for dinner tonight but now I can't stop thinking of it. It's all that sounds good and I'll probably eat way too much of it when I get home. Oh well.

Better: the UO yesterday was the best one yet. The political stuff became a snooze after a while but at least it brought some excitement

HA! This is relating oh-so-much to me. When you work too efficiently it really opens up a lot of time to do research and plan. Like bust ass for 30% of the day so I can be lazy 70% of it. I wonder if they'll catch on when I'm on mat. leave though...hmm....

(sorry I can't quote properly...my comments should be below, oops)

I'm also this way- I finished my to do list for the week in the first 3 hours of monday. So I've been doing things as they come up and pretty much not stressing the rest of the time.

I feel you sister. This is me for sure. My hormones have been wack lately, and I am have been a moody B. I hope it gets better soon or I can learn to check myself better.

A neighbor and I planned that we would split up driving our kindergarteners to and from school because it's 8 miles one way. So I take them every morning because I have to drop off my preschooler anyways. Plus they aren't that reliable to wake up for the morning. Well they were supposed to pick up my son in the afternoons but their son only goes half days because of behavioral issues so they pick him up earlier and that leaves me driving their kid to school and me picking up my kid. My fffc is I don't mind taking my kid to and from school but that even though it isn't out of my way to take their kid I hate doing it. And it's probably because the kid annoys the heck out of me... He doesn't listen.
