FFFC!
Yes it's early but DS woke me up so here we go...
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!
I got nothing, SFL.?
I'm still irritated about silly things that happened on the camping trip 2 weeks ago. I need to just let it go, it's SO not even a big deal. . .but I'm irritated with SIL #1 for bringing so many freaking animals (3 dogs, 3 horses - one being a brand new horse who was nervous and had no business being brought around children, got spooked, kicked down the fence she was tied to, and went running through our campsite and other people's campsites - and 2 cats. . .seriously, who takes cats camping? I can see dogs and horses, but cats?!).
I'm irritated with SIL #2 for complaining about the animals SO much, yeah, I was irritated too, but I didn't try to let it ruin my vacation. The only justifiable thing to complain about really, was the horse tearing through the campsite (but luckily DS was in the PNP in the tent playing).
I'm irritated with MIL for throwing a silent fit and going to bed early because nobody offered her a camp chair one night, ok, so maybe one of us should have let you have a chair. . .but maybe you and FIL should have brought chairs instead of only the married couples bringing chairs and only getting to sit in them half the time since there were 8 adults and only 4 chairs (2 were DH's and mine, 2 were BIL's and SIL #2's).
There are other things, but I'm just focusing on my pettiest irritations.
One of the sales managers at my work keeps asking me to do something that isn't my job. It's something he could (and should) do, but he's lazy and doesn't want to. So, I have purposely been forgetting elements of the job each time. It harms nothing, other than causing more work for him later.
Someone IRL spyed on me here and announced my twin pregnancy. I am so angry I can't even pretend to be ok with it. Normally I suck these things up. ?I may never talk to her again unless she apologizes, but I'm not sure she even knows she did anything wrong. If she weren't my cousin's wife I would probably write her off over it. It counds stupid, but it really pisssed me off. Especially b/c I've had so many m/c's and she told people when I was really early in the pregnancy. I haven't even told my friends yet! And she told my cousins! SHE told MY family!?
?
?
She deserves to be punched, IMO.
BTW, how's your mom doing? I remember you posting a looooooong while back about her.
BLOG THE BABY STANDARD FLICKR VIDEOS
I am sick and tired of DH making comments on what or how I am doing with the baby....BUT at the same time does not take over the task to do it his way himself.
He did this four times yesterday. First was when LO was crawling over chuncks of rock (too big for her to even pick up) - but even though he was closer to her, he did not get up to move her out of the way.
Second time was when we were all sitting around in the living room. He picked her up and noticed that her hair was sticky. He actually asked me why. Now...if we were all there.....why would I know something he doesnt? And did he get up to clean her off? NO!
Third, as I am packing her food/bottles up for a day out, was to TELL ME not to forget that we have yogurt in the fridge. If you want the damn yogurt, they why don't YOU pack the damn cooler!
And the straw! We were out to dinner with hsi family and we were packing up to leave. Let me rephrase that. I was packing her up to leave, when the bench I was on tipped (with her in my arms). He is standing there looking down at me while I am trying to balance myself, her and the bad. So I say to him "Take her".
He has the audacity to tell me "You need to relax, she can feel your stress." Well, hell! Of course I am stressed. I am trying to pack up a 7 mo baby at the same time not fall on my ass. Why not stop PLAYING perfect father and actually start ACTING like a perfect father and DO something.
Maybe he doesn't even realize what you want from him? I can totally see me saying those things to dh and it's not be being lazy. I don't see what's wrong with saying "Hey, what the heck did he get in his hair?" or "Hey, don't forget that yogurt when you're packing up the bag".
I've learned it's better for my nerves and marriage to just ask him to help instead of expecting him to read my mind.
Lemme see....
hmm sfl
I would be PISSED and make it very obvious!
Tomorrow is DD's birthday and I know I am going to cry at least once.
I am making a ladybug cake and a giant cupcake. ?With the amount of money and supplies I have spent to make them, I could have just went to an expensive bakery!?

I'm really mad at my mom, but I won't say anything to her because I don't want to start World War III. I'm also pretty sure that I'm probably overreacting because I'm so upset about the situation in general.
About a month or so ago, she called me to tell me that she was putting my dog (who lives with her because we can't have a dog at our place) to sleep because he was in a lot of pain.
Backstory: My dog was my little sister's wish from Make-A-Wish, and when she passed away she gave him to me. It may sound kind of weird, but having him is like a having a little part of my sister. They were inseperable when she was alive. He's now 15 years old.
Anyway, so she told me she was going to make an appointment to have him put down. I was devistated, I cried for days and nothing ever came of it. Every time I asked her about it, she said she was getting ready to make the appointment. For weeks, I waited for her to call and tell me what was going on and she never did. Fast forward to 2 days ago... she calls my DH and tells him in passing that she's going to have my dog put down this Saturday at 10 am. She doesn't talk to me, she doesn't even tell him that she hadn't told me yet.
I'm really mad for a few reasons. Firstly, because she cried wolf. Secondly, because if my dog was in that much pain for her to think he needed to be put down, what changed that it could wait for a month? Nothing. Thirdly, because she made my DH do the dirty work because she knew I'd be really upset and she didn't want to have to deal with it.

I have wished this many times.
Someone did that to me too. I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
Oh I would be LIVID!!!! I'm soooooo sorry!!!
I had a dream a few nights ago that DS#2 was born without eyes! It was scary and in the dream I remember thinking that he was a monster and how could I love him?
I think this is my subconcious worrying about things being wrong with him. The dream made me sad though.
I'm so sorry. What a biitch. She should know better than spill the news. I'd have some words with her and then not have much to do with her after that.
I've been thinking lately about getting some work done....on me. I feel awfully vain, and I think it is selfish to spend money on my vanity that I could spend on something for Delilah, or save for her future education. But I am daydreaming about Botox...
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
Have you tried the Nuby ones with the silicone spouts? They are awesome.
sorry, food confession. and not flameful so much as embarrassing.
my PG craving this time around? DRY white rice. seriously, i polish off a huge box of minute rice a week. there is no way it's good for me or my teeth.
i'm in the same boat, punk...beyond frustrating.
i started him on the nubys (nubies?) smiles mentioned. they were awesome to start with for us, because when DS bites on it liquid comes out. unfortunately, he never picked up that you can suck to get liquid as well. as a result we always have a dribbley mess on our hands, and he doesn't get other sippy cups that you HAVE to suck...he just bites them and gets pissed when nothing comes out. i don't know what to do.
yeah i have 1 of probably every kind. but i mean, i just really don't care. LOL she won't hate sippies forever. so im really not freaking out about it like someone people do "OMG MY CHILD WONT DRINK OUT OF A SIPPY!"
I am terrified to get married for a few reasons. On one hand I worry about the wedding day. I want everyone to have fun and I will freak if anything goes wrong. I hate being the center of attention and I hate making final decisions. I will be really upset if people aren't having a good time and I worry that people will talk about my wedding as the worst ever or something. I always worry too much about what other people think. I was the same way with my bach last weekend. I just wanted everyone to have a good time (which we did, thank God) and when people asked what I wanted to do, I just kept saying, "let's do what everyone wants!"
On the other hand, FI and I are so happy right now, I'm scared to mess it up. I have never trusted anyone in my life as much as I trust him so I know it's meant to be, but I'm just nervous what could happen in 15 years. People change, marriages don't work, whatever. I just don't want anything to change between us.
I'll probably be a wreck for the next month until this is all over and we can focus on the next chapter of our life...buying a house and making more babies!

I am screwed, I have been with DH for 7 years and of that time I worked maybe 3 years. I had a a great medical billing job when we met and 6 months later I let him talk me into leaving the job. What im saying is my resume looks like sh!t and I never continued my education.
Now things here are bad, I mean bad and I cant even pack up my DD and leave because my chances of getting a job( expecially in the local market) are slim to none
My SIL did this to me too and I was really upset. Mostly because it was my first and I'd already been hospitalized twice and told I was going to miscarry. I would be FURIOUS in your situation. NOT her news to tell!
ETA: I was referring to this:
I didn't know this and do not think badly of you for it! Who cares! I lub you!

I am still really mad at my grandma. She came to visit me in the hospital after DS was born. let me just say that i was in hard labor for 24 hours and ended up with a c-section. she took pictures of me when i was in my hospital bed, printed them off, and came back the next day to show them to me.
in one of the pictures i was extremely bloated, and looked awful. i was shocked and said "oh, my..." and she said "yeah, maybe next time you feel like eating you should look at this picture." i couldn't believe she would say that to me. and not to be petty, but she really shouldn't talk. she has a lot of extra junk in her trunk.
do you have friends or family you can stay with until you get yoru job situation worked out? if it's really bad, don't stay. there is always another option. i'm sorry this is happening, i know you must feel helpless. you can do this, you just have to take that first step.
Honestly, the word wh0re doesn't even enter my mind when thinking of you J4D. Don't let some lameass AE bring you down. You rock!

I'm sorry. I'd suggest contacting a woman's shelter to see if they have any advice on how to get a better job so you can leave. No one should have to stay in a bad marriage because of lacking funds.
