FFFC!!!* 11/4

Time for some confessions, ladies!!

*may not be flame free*

PerraSucia

I'm nesting so hard and want to spend all the money but am the fiscally conservative member of my household so am just fucking myself. 

This is the lamest confession. 

WinchesterGirl

Mine is also lame. I refer to us to DH as "The Febuladies". The first time I said this, he almost spit coffee out his nose.

musicinmysoul17

My boss and I just had a meeting and discussed plans for mat leave and leading up to it. My confession - I dread going to work everyday because I sit here and think of everything I need to do at home. Also we're dealing with this big change that affects a lot of people and I just don't want to do anything. I've got about 3 more months to deal with work and I'm already on vacation mode.

@becbec28  amen...i have no fucks left to give about anything work related anymore. i have to travel in a couple weeks for a work project and as soon as its over i plan to do pretty much absolutely the bare minimum until mat leave.

WinchesterGirl

@becbec28 I feel your pain... I have a running countdown on my phone of remaining workdays. Currently I have 68 remaining work days until my EDD!

ETA moved original text to randoms.

Business trip in the first week of December. Added another day's stay purely for the heck of it without telling my parents (who are taking care of DD). The flight connections are slightly better, but I could have made it back in 2 nights instead of 3. Lame, I know.

Watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast last night, after 15+ years since the last time.

Totally underwhelmed. Pixar has ruined me. Pretty much the only part I liked was the "Be our guest" song and the Snowball fight scene.

Okay them are fighting words.... :P

Eeep! Moved it to randoms! Sorry. Thought it would go better there....

It was just so weird. I remembered loving that movie when I was younger. Guess I'm too cynical in my old age

Also, I just filled an envelope with stamped envelopes because apparently this client has zero access to stamps and envelopes. *rolling eyes*

While I am obviously not happy we're dealing with issues with the baby I have more than passed the point in my pregnancy where I just don't care about work stuff and I am not mad at all about the amount of time I am spending not at work. Also my FIL drove me to my appointment this morning and I told MH to have him stop and get me an iced coffee even though we had to leave the house at like 7:15 and I let him pay for parking.

It sounds like everyone has a case of senioritis!

I have an FFFC this week!

2 nights ago, I woke up in a coughing fit and peed myself a little. I knew it would only get worse because the coughing wasn't stopping anytime soon so I grabbed my bottle of water to help soothe the cough and sat on the toilet to prevent more accidents. 

So i was sitting on a toilet, coughing like mad, sipping my bottle of water while peeing here and there. Wow, #classy.

tishb

I spend about 75% of my work days playing on my phone. Games, The Bump, Facebook, Pinterest....

cantalopes24

@WinchesterGirl Febuladies sounds so much better than "Bumpies" and I am totally stealing that.

varimama

I also am having trouble finding motivation at work, I just can't wait to be at home snuggling this little guy. Sadly I just found out that in a month I need to do a presentation in front of all the bosses and my peers showing my accomplishments for the last 6 months and I'm starting to worry that it is now going to be quite obvious that work was not on the top of my priority list lately...

I am so sick and tried of people asking me how I'm doing/feeling. I might lose it on the next person that asks. I know they mean well, but jesus, I don't need to be asked 20 times day. "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggings came on the radio this morning and it was such a perfect fit.

LivingLaVidaGinger

Today in the car, the "baby" had some gas. What I hadn't realized was that I passed a textiles factory at the same time. So gross rotten-egg smell came wafting through my vents and I sat there thinking "dear God I need to seek medical attention. I have never smelled something so pungent and horrible emit from my body." 

Then I realized I had just passed a textiles factory. H says it smells like that every morning. Whoops.

Me. Too.

@WinchesterGirl I'm stealing Febuladies. That is happening.

+1 to not wanting to be at work. But one of my campaigns is hitting a high point so I am going to be working overtime until Christmas. #ugh

I have no FFFC. I am boring.

Mamallamallama

I dress way more fashionable while pregnant than I do while not pregnant. 

WinchesterGirl

@cantalopes24 & @gretchypoo Febuladies perfectly replaces "single ladies", if you happen to make up words to songs like I do. Just saying.

Oh man, not me. Everything I own barely fits.... I'm anticipating wearing my husband's clothes in the 9th month. Oversized tshirts and sweats.

scifichick09

+1 to dressing way better preggers than not. My fashion sense is way more on point with maternity clothes apparently.

I might be a bad mom for this so it's an FFFC, my 10 year old son just started serious history lessons this year. He told me that he had arranged something for me and DD. (She's 7 in second grade) normally he does a "magic show" or tells us a joke or shows us his super cool new light Saber skill he mastered.... this time, he pulled out an organized folder. He started asking us weird questions about all kinds of stuff, then started giving us a history lesson.  I hated history class and have no interest in relearning it through my son. DD was like "I don't care Taylor." So he started telling us how he put all this work into preparing this lesson, and that he really enjoys it, so wanted to share with us, i mean he really lectured us. About 3% of me felt bad and like I should have listened to his lesson, but the 97% percent won and I told him we weren't interested and to put it up. Now I feel bad, but not bad enough to go through a stinking 4th grade history class. I really am sorry, I'm not sorry lol

Also now I've got in my head "all the febuladies, all the fibuladies, now put your bump out.... or cause if you touch it, then your gonna get a death glare wu uh oh uh uh oh... " oh my

So a few years back my girlfriends and I went to dinner at this sushi place. Afterwards,  we hit up a bar that was super packed. We were hanging out and all of a sudden I had the urge to fart. The bar was loud so I thought I'll go ahead and let it out (my farts rarely ever stink). 
So I let it out and it is the longest STINKIEST fart I have ever farted. 
Not exaggerating. ...it was like somebody threw a stink bomb in the room and everyone in the entire bar ran outside for fresh air.  
Of course,  nobody knew it was me. They all assumed it was a stink bomb. 
I have no idea what was in that sushi but it's not even like my stomach was upset. Just had to let that gas out, man! BTW, I've never eaten there again.

I've done this too

My FFFC is that I don't like my body pregnant.  I know that I should like it, it's doing an amazing thing right now and is full of life, and my boobs are big, and my husband likes the whole thing, and I'm really excited about the baby, but I also just really miss my waist.  I have an hourglass figure, and the waist was pretty important to the whole look.  Also I miss all my nice clothes and shopping.  End of superficial rant - carry on.

That's disturbing.

@missmercibeaucoup its hard to watch your body get all round and distorted even though the rational side knows it's supposed to happen. Im with you girl. 

PerraSucia

@kswiger06 if I can listen to a 20 minute speech about what happened in paw patrol you should be able to pretend your interested in something your kid is passionate about  

yogadevil

@MissMerciBeaucoup I feel you on the waistline!! I do love my bump but I'm scared I'll look like spongebob squarepants even after pregnancy


My FFFC- people assume that since I'm pregnant I must clearly want to be around their kids "for practice." No, I really don't want to spend all my weekends babysitting, you're not doing me any favors (other way around actually)

MrsDramaK

+1 on having mentally checked out of work.  

My confession, is my coworker came in my office to ask me a question and I answered it, then he left, came back cause he decided he wasn't satisfied with my answer and wanted to sit down next to me and me to go through it line by line.  I snapped at him and said "I'm in the middle of working on some stuff and don't have time for this."  I'd done literally nothing but Bumping and Facebooking since I came in and totally had time.

Oh girl. I relate to this on an emotional level so much. If anyone is superficial it's me. It's been that way since I emerged from the womb. I have a lackluster personality and like, two friends because I'm an asshole. But I could always rely on my once-beloved runner's body to keep me warm at night. 

annewheeler2

+1 to superficial with looks. I loved being pregnant with my first but I weigh more this time around and I hate my body. I also hate when people tell me I can't have body issues because I weigh less than them.

Really? The whole bar? Wow.

+1 for not a fan of my body pregnant
+1 for being so done with work

I'm so done with work in fact that my confession is that today I took a 30 minute nap in the "mothers' room" at work not at lunch time. This room is for moms who are BFing but there are 3 of them and no one had them checked out. I don't regret one second of that nap

I am with that dirty b up there. If my kid wanted to school me (in a respectful manner) I would be like, let's do this! Especially if the 20+ minutes saves me from doing housework and my kid from screen time.

Starfish113

Yep. Pregnancy is rough. I've always been small and now I feel like a freaking whale. If I was all belly like last time around it wouldn't bother me so much, but so much is going to my hips and ass and it's just not fun!!!
