My boss has been kind of an asshole lately. Piling on the travel and overtime and refusing to give me or anyone else comp time-- even when we work weekends. So I making that lost time up at work. I refuse to feel guilty about Bumping at work and this week I went to a conference I had a 14 hour day but I totally skipped a session and took a 2 hr nap. Guess who is totally counting that in her work hours? <- This lady.

ETA: Oh, and he is out of town this week so I'm leaving early today because I hit my hours at 2:00. Leaving at 2:00 today.

Last night when my kid saw other kids doing shit that he isn't allowed to do i said it was sad because their parents probably didn't love them as much.

As we were getting ready to leave this morning, I noticed my left boob had leaked a little and so I dropped off my kid at daycare with Kleenex stuffed in my bra just in case. It was so obvious that one boob was bigger and oddly shaped. Lol, whatevs.

We have a ton of medical bills and money is kind of tight until the first pay period in January when MH gets his quarterly bonus. I found some basically empty gift cards to Starbucks, the movie theater, Toys R Us, and Game Stop and will be giving them to the kids for Christmas in their stockings and to kind of "boost" their presents since they won't be using them until after we get the bonus.

@cantalopes24 I know that feeling. DH and I have just reluctantly finished paying our portion of the estimated bill for this birth (about 2000$ aka all of our savings), but we switched insurances during this open enrollment so come January 1st when we get our new information, we're expecting that they'll have to refund us a large sum of money. (We were on a high deductible plan and now we're on a normal PPO with a small deductible.) Until then it'll be tight, but at least we'll have nice nest egg coming back to us after the baby's born.

My FFFC: I never got into Game of Thrones. I'm a super nerdy person, but I think I just wasn't interested enough in the first season to chug through it.

1. I pretended I felt sick so I could work from home for the afternoon but I'm actually just feeling mentally overwhelmed.

2. I'm not that into wall decals.

3. I was pretty mean to H this morning about the fact that he left dishes in the sink while I had a late meeting last night. I shouldn't have been. It happens.

Instead of cleaning anything in my neglected house last night (or my purse that still has maple syrup dried in the bottom), I spent the evening in the nursery sorting through shower gifts. Then I worked on trying to figure out how many of the massive pile of NB clothes we received we should keep. 

But we still had a home cooked dinner, so I'm good right?

Today I was scheduling the last of our pre-baby classes. I purposely picked a day I had to work, just so I have an excuse to leave an hour early that day.

I pulled DS from daycare in the end of October when I quit my job. He had school pics right before we pulled him so I've needed to go back and pick them up for weeks, but I've been avoiding it because I was afraid DS would want to stay at daycare with his friends and I would feel rejected. So we finally went today and he waved to his friends but wanted me to hold him and was ready to leave after a few minutes. It is completely shallow but it made me happy that he didn't want to stay. 

I'm a child who needs validation that I'm the favorite.

I'm eating the Reeses that I put in my husbands stocking. 

But he started it.

I have decided that I'm not decorating for Christmas this year...  no tree, no reindeer candle holders or other assorted knick knacks, nothing.  I'm justifying this several ways: DH already put his blow up Star Wars characters out in our yard (so we look outwardly festive in a tacky way, lol), my mom is usually the only person who visits us for Christmas and it's a lot of work for one person, I'm tired, the room I usually decorate is full of baby stuff boxes until we get the nursery painted, all our Christmas stuff is in the basement and I can't really carry it upstairs by myself anymore, and finally, did I mention that I'm tired?

@ChaoticWolf We haven't even started paying for the actual birth yet but I'm hoping by then we'll have hit our max OOP for the year since our insurance doesn't roll over until June. If we do my husband is getting the snip sooner rather than later so we don't have to pay for it. He has a work trip the week after NYE and he has to front like $1,100 until he gets back. It is literally the worst timing.

@MLRocha I'm with you on that!  I haven't done and won't do any holiday decorating this year, and usually I love it!  I'm just tired, and feel like I have so much baby stuff to get together and organize, that I'm just weirdly uninterested in decorating this year.

I'm pretending to be a good housewife and sort laundry but I'm actually sitting on the floor of my 
closet Bumping.

No but now I want some

H walked back here and I hid my phone under the laundry.

The secret is to always start a task but don't finish it, that way you can always look like you were "in the middle" of doing something. Our box Springs make weird noise and our back door is squeaky so I always hear my H coming and always look "busy" haha

PerraSucia

I basically have the whole afternoon / evening to myself and $150 of secret monies and no game plan. 

lemieuxk

@PerraSucia I have a hundred suggestions but none that a third trimester pregnant woman can/should do. Have fun!

@PerraSucia get a massage and then go watch a movie by yourself!

MissMerciBeaucoup

+1 to go get a massage!  Only I vote for lunch instead of a movie afterwards.  Massages and eating are like my only pleasures in life right now

PerraSucia

I feel like every time I get a prenatal massage I'm sad and it's just a stranger uncomfortably touching me for an hour but I still feel sore.   I'm more of a facial person if I was going to go in

I decided to not try to accomplish anything at all this weekend. I'm really used to having a list, so I'll go ahead and make one.

Sonic for happy hour
Take Emma on a walk
Go out to eat (so I don't have to cook til Monday)
Put the duvet cover on for the guests coming over tonight (boo; work)

The confession; My husband has been working 12 hr days in PA since Nov 7. He will probably be back late next week... and I'm going to run him ragged. Tree's going up, 4 or 5 nursery woodworking projects, and then the actual priorities like building the vanity drawers, door faces, finishing them, and installing them. Plus he should probably take me to a movie. I could contribute by un-trashing the nursery or painting the 6 interior doors that need it this weekend, but nah.

Did he question why you were sitting in your closet floor? 

Also, I want chips too now.

I was "sorting the dirty clothes". 
He eouldnt question me, and could actually give no fucks if I was doing nothing. BUT I have a ton of shit that he needs to get done today, so I'm trying not to LOOK like a hypocrite.

I hid a bunch of my kids toys over the summer, and I am now wrapping them as Christmas presents.

My fffc is that I cleaned out my cabinets today and realized I have more pretty decorative casserole dishes than any normal human should ever need, but my southern roots are the driving force behind my adamant refusal to part with them. Casseroles complete me.
