FFFC 9/8

This morning I ate some sour cream/onion chips and cold scrambled eggs from Damien's plate when he was finished eating. Breakfast of champions.

Last Thursday I finally took the girls medical forms to the Dr to get signed for school. Only problem was the Dr was out of the office until Tuesday, the first day of school. I showed up Tuesday at the exact minute the office opened and of course the Dr wasn't in until about the time of her first appointment and they wouldn't quickly give the paperwork to her to sign (seriously only two check boxes and a signature) because the receptionist claimed she had to look at their charts and familiarize her self with who she was signing for. I was pretty annoyed because the Dr definitely knows who we were, I don't know how many 33 week 3lb twins she has had in her care since birth but it can't be more than a handful. We had to leave the office and I had to explain to the girls that I had dropped the ball and they didn't get to go to school that day but could go Thursday, they were so devastated! Anyhow, thankfully the school said it was highly unlikely that the state would show up to check paperwork the first day of school so they let the girls go. So here is my confession, I dropped the ball yet again...

My (random) confession that popped into my head earlier today. When I was little I didn't like peanut butter so Inused to make BUTTER and jelly sandwiches. I think about it now and can just picture my mom rolling her eyes and thinking "at least she's making her own lunch..."

I used to eat butter and jelly sandwiches too. In fact I still do not like peanut butter that much.

Haha! How funny! I've never met anyone else that did that. Everyone always thought it was weird, even though you put butter and jelly on toast.

As a kid the only sandwich I would eat was lettuce and tomato. I didn't like pp&j, and I hated lunchmeat

Alexandria loves tomatoes, I never realized until I had her that little kids will actually eat tomatoes lol.

As a kid, I wouldn't eat meat unless I was told it was chicken. It lasted until I was 5 when my Dad mistakenly asked if I wanted more turkey by accident. Didn't matter that I just ate a whole plate of it, I wouldn't touch another piece. After that I was always suspicious and a super difficult eater.

We used to have an old lady at the nursing home like that. The word fish couldn't be mentioned or she would think anything she was eating was fish even if it was green beans or something else completely unrelated. Lol! She was a hoot!

Here is a Saturday confession..  I just remembered my anniversary is tomorrow lol. Good thing that neither my husband or I is overly sentimental so he won't be offended with something simple I pull together today. On a better note his birthday is on Friday and I did remember that, and have a gift for that already lol.

AmberLiz99

My Saturday confession, it's my birthday today and it's also opening day for a hunting program dh is part of. I'm kind of ticked he's going hunting all afternoon. No idea when he'll be home. No plans for dinner or anything either, despite us agreeing to have dinner together last week. Guess the kids and I will make our own plans

@AmberLiz99 Happy birthday!!! Hopefully he will bring home a surprise.

the cake was chocolate with raspberry frosting, and it's pretty awesome. Also, my brother sent me an Anthropologie gift card and called me today to talk! That was definitely the highlight, we hardly ever get to chat. And now I'm kind of excited to go shopping some time, lol 

meggyme

@AmberLiz99 Oh Anthropologie?! He's a good gift giver! That's someplace that I love, but can never bring myself to buy things from.

Me too, and I think he knows it. I never shop for myself anymore, but I love fashion, so this is such a treat

My (day late) FFFC is that my libido has been pretty low which is odd cause I'm done BFing, but I'm drinking a whole lot of wine tonight b cause I know DH wants sex and I need something to get me in the mood :P

meggyme

@laurenm2123 girl same! I'm still bfing, but my libido has tanked. Which is weird because the sex is consistently way better than it used to be. Maybe because DH is trying so hard to make me want more. We're trying to make some tweaks to help build a better sexual connection to help, like going to bed early and cuddling in bed and trying to watch more compelling tv (something to spark a convo instead of mindless crap). We'll also start doing regular date nights once DH is in town long enough from work.

Yeah we've been trying all summer (since Sav started STTN) to have date night at home. I started playing video games with him which I never did, we've been drinking some wine, watching TV, etc. What's weird is I feel like my libido was higher when I was still BFing! (We just stopped last week). Maybe I'm just tired from going back to work last week. I hope that's the case!

Your hormones may be readjusting too. Hopefully they'll bounce back.

You all are doing better than I did while I was pregnant with/ after the girls. We didn't have sex for 20 months! Yes, 20 months! I was so not feeling it I probably would have sent him to a hooker if he needed it lol! Thankfully I have a good natured husband who took care of business himself when necessary. After Cameron thankfully the sex is the best it's ever been. I don't know if it's age (we are both 32) or the fact that we can no longer get pregnant (Yay!!!) That makes it so much better. Anyhow there is hope that your sex life will bounce back.

My sex drive seems to be low/non-existent until the babies wean, but it has been even worse this time around with the twins.  Now that they've started sleeping better and only wake once at night, I've had the energy for more sexy time.  My husband was feeling neglected, but things also improved when I explained to him that he needed to put in some more effort too.  I needed more intimacy from him on a daily basis and small signs of affection for me to put in the effort in the bedroom. 

vintagevix2016

My husband and I have been working on our intimacy, making more of an effort to cuddle in the evenings and just doing little things like a hand squeeze or a simple touch as we pass one another. It was something I talked about with my therapist to be honest. We, my husband and I, came up the idea of starting "from the beginning" with innocent gestures of affection and over time, letting it develop to more intimate and sexual moments. I found the gradual increase to be pretty effective. It got us back to where we wanted to be, took ages, but was worth it. I was just having trouble jumping right back into our old sex life once I was physically ready to be intimate again.

This! Often I pick up Jackie from daycare, take care of her until she goes to bed (DH usually comes home sometime in there) and then by the time she's in bed I come downstairs and DH is passed out in the couch. So I sit by myself watching tv for 3 hours before deciding to go to bed, at which point he wakes up and suddenly wants to cuddle and have sex when I'm trying to go to sleep. It's like I'm alone except when people need things from me and my body. We talked about it and there are aspects we both need to work on.

laurendiaz02

Meanwhile, DH and I are back to sleeping in separate rooms...so that's a good indicator on how much sex we are having  . It honestly is so convenient because (1) he hates our mattress and I love it, (2) he stays up late watching TV and I can't sleep with distractions, (3) he snores like a freight train and I am not about to be awake all night listening to that!?  Haha. But, when he does get lucky, it's worth the wait
