It's 9:30 and I'm still in bed. I was supposed to work today but told my boss I wasn't coming in. I'm using the fact that I have huge bandages all over one boob (that I get to take off in half an hour) and the fact that at some point today I'm expecting a call with the diagnosis as my excuse not to go in. I think those are valid reasons not to go in today BUT neither of those things should be keeping me from being a productive human being while at home. But, bed is cozy.
@RainyDays86 when I saw the notification pop up that you commented on this thread I thought, "I can't think of a single confession that would be flame-worthy from her today." And I was right. You stay in bed. I was in bed until almost 9:30 today with literally NO reason at all. (I work this weekend and today is my last day off before my spring semester hits and I go MIA)
@nda_roxybabe , this is me, too! Every time someone IMs me or asks me a question I get annoyed that they are interrupting my bumping/online shopping/baby prepping. Eek...I am a very unproductive employee these days.
And on that note...I manage a team that is going to a big trade show in Vegas at the end of February. I told my boss that my doctor advised against me traveling so late in the pregnancy. I just don't want to go...a full week of walking around all day sounds miserable.
My FFFC (Probably first of a few, as again, I'm off today with only un-fun things to do like laundry and cleaning) is that I judge you if you continuously make grammar/spelling mistakes that are basic. To/too/two, there/their/they're, and your/you're are my particular pet peeves!

I am so guilty of this ALLLLL the time. Its due to the fact that I'm typing super fast and pressing send before my boss catches me. Or I'm on my phone and doing something else at the same time. Sorry.....

Trade shows are the worst. Used to have to do the MAGIC show and other apparel markets throughout the year and hated all the walking around. After a while it got SOOOOOOO boring and annoying. I would have used the exact same excuse.

Typos are not a problem because we all make them! I'm talking using the wrong form of a word over and over to the point where I start to believe you don't actually know that it's wrong! I've never noticed you to be guilty if that counts for anything

YES! This is MAGIC and Vegas is just the worst, especially while pregnant (and not enjoying the culture, lol). I do so many other trade shows through the year, too. I'm just done. I did my last footwear one with the team at the beginning of December and I was over it like an hour into day 1. I've been doing this for a while, so the novelty of it is totally worn off. My team will be fine without me.
@RainyDays86 , you have a totally valid excuse for doing nothing! FX for you today!
@ShadeofGreen816 , I, too, hate basic grammar mistakes. It drives me CRAZY. One offs? No biggie. But constantly misusing/misspelling basic words that you should have learned to distinguish in elementary leads to me judging you.
I'm cranky today. I feel happy, but I just kind of want everyone to leave me alone. Don't tell me what to do, I don't want your opinion, just leave me be.
Had my anatomy scan this morning (baby looks great, was uncooperative with heart views, is 100% a boy) and discovered partial placenta previa which = no sex for at least the next 8 weeks...and my FFFC is that I'm kind of relieved. Poor DH. Hopefully the previa resolves by the 28 week scan and we can get something in before the kid is born, but for now...I'm pretty pleased to have a good excuse.

HAHAHAHAHA.....My DH was just asking me the other night when the last time we had sex was. My response was "how many weeks am I pregnant? That's how long!!!" With having HG there is no way in hell I feel up to it at all. I don't blame you. Hoping though for you and the baby's sake the previa clears up though.
Sometimes I pretend I had to work late when really I drove around a bit in order to listen to the rest of whatever podcast I am listening to. I hate never finishing an episode or having to wait until the next morning to hear the last 5 minutes.

I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life.

I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
@kayemjay2 I also have a partial previa.. they didn't tell me not to have sex but I was told not to lift over 20lbs... maybe mine isn't blocking as much as yours? also my toddler weighs 30 lbs and I tote him around all the time, its unavoidable.

Weird. They didn't mention anything to me about lifting, and my son weighs 26 lbs, so that wouldn't be happening for me either. From what she said, I don't think it's blocking very much, but I'm not sure.

Hi. My name is kayemjay and I am a toddler shoe addict.
Seriously guys, I can't stop. My son just started walking and I can't stop buying adorable shoes. I don't even like shoes for myself- I own like 5 pairs. But holy adorable baby boy shoes.
Fur daughter: 02/2011 Human sons: 11/2015 & 05/2017 *formerly kayemjay*
I hear ya, @kayemjay2. DD has several pairs of name brand shoes. Right now she has 2 pairs of Pumas, a pair of cons, slouchy boots, and several other slip-on style shoes. We live in the desert and she doesn't wear tennis shoes much during the 8 months of hot weather. I'm sure a few pairs of Keens, Natives, and other summer shoes are on our horizon. It's an addiction.
FFFC: A few nights ago DH tried to suggest sex in a pretty implicit way so I pretended I didn't get it and went to bed. Since then, i've been avoiding sex by bringing DS into our room and letting him fall asleep in our bed while I read and eventually fall asleep with him. Then by the time DH comes to bed and we move DS to his bed, I am half asleep so he doesn't push it. This morning he said he wants to start switching off putting the kids to bed every other night. Haha. If he helps out with that, I'll give him what he wants.

This sort of makes me feel like a bad mom. I am so traumatized by DD's broken arm. Thinking about what it looked like and the sounds she was making when I picked her up at daycare make me feel sick. I very obviously wish it hadn't happened. It was a freak accident and I don't at all blame daycare. She fell from a 2 foot tall sand table she was sitting on into some very deep sand. It could have happened anywhere and do not blame it on lack of supervision.
That said, I wouldn't say I'm "glad" it happened at daycare. But my FFFC is that I feel a bit better that it didn't happen on my or DH's watch. I don't think I could have forgiven myself if it happened under my care and I probably would be pretty angry at DH if it happened in his. I do feel bad because I know how bad DD's teacher feels. She's called and emailed me to check on her. And I feel bad that I wasn't there for DD until 15mins after when I rushed to pick her up at daycare.
I judge you if you leave your car unlocked outside your house. I judge you even harder if you can't park even 1 of your cars in your 2 car garage.
How much do you judge me that I leave my cars not only unlocked in front of my house, but I also leave the keys sitting in it?

I do this too! but I live in the country and everyone I know does this. My husbands garage is next door to us and he leaves the keys in the cars he works on, his dump trucks, and everything else. We leave our house unlocked everyday as well.
And I feel bad that I wasn't there for DD until 15mins after when I rushed to pick her up at daycare.
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot: But you WERE there for her. You held her and comforted her and spent the entire ER/ED stay with her and didn't leave her side! You ARE NOT a bad mother!
You have found it in your heart to acknowledge the accident to the teacher and daycare staff. Now you need to allow yourself to feel gratitude that it is turning out okay and to heal from the guilt over not being there, which isn't even true, because you did show up: Immediately, and promptly, and with all the love and care in the world! You did your best and she's going to be okay!
my job has been super busy lately, because I've only had three day weeks due to the holidays and I've had NO time to bump. I've been lurking but haven't really commented. It's super annoying that I can't bump at work. Don't they realize I have better things to do than be a therapist!
@JCWhitey - I won't go as far as to disagree with you, but I'm interested to know how you know people's cars are unlocked. I'm more tickled than I should be at the idea of you sneaking into their driveways and trying the handles. (I KNOW you don't, but it's in my brain now!)

@emilyalso: I'm gonna jump in here real quick to say I posted this to the Friday ticker page and @nda_roxybabe ran with it. NBR: Are there seriously adults out there in the world who don't lock up their cars at night?! Who does that?! A neighbor said "my car got broken into last night! was yours okay?" and I'm like "wow, did you have to drive around with a broken window today?" and she's all "no, they just opened the door, because I don't lock them" <<facepalm>> WTF!!!
@Jen_Shoes & @JCWhitey: It almost doesn't matter where you live. You need to protect your property/house/vehicle properly, not leave it unlocked. P.S. (Most) Insurance policies won't cover a theft or break-in if the doors are unlocked.

We were talking about it in today's ticker change. Someone said their neighbor was complaining how their car got broken into (through the unlocked door). I always see neighbors complaining on Next Door about the same thing "My car got broken into. I guess I should've locked the doors..."
And I feel bad that I wasn't there for DD until 15mins after when I rushed to pick her up at daycare.

Thank you! The rational part of my mind knows this. The pregnant Mom side is a hot mess. DD is back to her normal silly, cute, and sometimes very frustrating self, so I'm starting to realize she'll be fine.
@SKZW I know, and right now the car issue isn't an issue as I keep my car in the garage. Once we have this baby I know we will start locking the door, but it is something DH grew up with (his sisters and parents don't lock anything either) so it was a given. We also have a relatively long driveway so while I'm home, we can always see if anyone comes anywhere near the house. I also have a gun with rubber bullets that my FIL gave to me because he wanted me to be safe if I were alone and someone came in.
