Re: FFFC---spill it, ladies!
I don't like babies very much. I liked mine, but for the most part, I don't want anything to do with babies. Weird since I wanted mine for so long, but I am SOOOO glad they're older now and more mobile and chatty and NOT babies. I love my boys, but 2 babies at once is HARD freaking work. I was not prepared for how hard it would be and it was scary and a lot all at once. So now, I don't want to hold anyone else's baby (i.e. 0-4 months, older than that? sure!), I don't want to change anyone's baby's diaper, I don't want to soothe it, nothing. I want nothing to do w/ babies. I'm done! Babies are cute and all, but there is no way I want any more. They're just TOO MUCH! Plus, they're loud and they don't do anything you want them to do (<-that part is sarcasm)
At the GTG yesterday, seja's little girl was crying and all I thought was "Oh, poor baby girl." but made no move to pick her up and soothe her, b/c her mom was occupied. Feisty did, however. WTG, Feisty! Way to do what a good mom is supposed to do!
it's not bad to not like babies, is it?
A 21 year old male secretary (eye candy) walked into my office as me and my co-worker were talking about our "toy" party tonight. He walked up to my desk and asked it I "could look at something for him". I said, "Sure." He showed me his elbow (which was red and swollen). I said, "you need to call your dr and be seen, that's infected, is it hot?" He said "yes".
I said, "wow, it's red, hot, and swollen".
My co-worker burst into laughter as I tried to hold it together. Luckily he's more eye candy than brainiac.
Now each time I pass his desk, he wants to tell me about his elbow.
The hubs? Yeah, nosomuch.
Joyco - I don't like babies, either. I didn't even think my own daughter was all that cute until she was about 9 months old or so. I mean, I loved her and everything....
As you can tell from my earlier post, I've effing had it with my cats. I might pay someone $100 to take them and give them a good home, without any dogs around. They do great with kids...just no dogs.
My cousin got his girlfriend knocked up. She can't make up her mind if she wants to keep the baby or get an abortion. He's devasted, he's 30 years old and feels he's ready to be a father. She's only 23 and is pretty immature. All I can think of is how freakin stupid they both are because they've been together for a year and never once discussed what they would do if she happened to get pregnant.
Let's see...what else can I come up with today....
#1
I think everyone should get off of Kate Gosselin's asss. Is she the first mother EVER to appear on DWTS? No, so shaddup about how she's neglecting her kids to be there. Pammy has kids, Kate's dance partner has kids, Brooke Burke has kids ... nobody's questioning their parenting.
#2
On a related note, I spent all morning going "OMG ANDERSON IS COMING HOME!" and being ridiculously excited, peeking out the windows, etc. I kind of forgot all about the fact that DH will be home later tonight, as well. Clearly I missed my son more than my husband.

I am not sure if it is hormones or what, but I got upset because I told him the nursery furniture is in and ready for us to pick up this weekend. And he changed the subject and didn't even seem excited..Am I wrong to feel sad that he wasn't the least bit excited???? I want to pick up the furniture tomorrow, but he is not too into that idea...I am pretty upset at him right now, but I shoud know that he didn't hurt me on purpose. Maybe I am being over sensitive. ia m cursing my hormones right now!!!!
SPILL IT! You have to! It's FFFC, and you're not inflammatory being all tactful like that.
Unless you're going to say Toyota Sequoia drivers are a*holes. Then keep it to yo'self.

my bff's wedding is in less than a month and a half. she has yet to:
- figure out flowers
- figure out what to do about a dj
- hire a photographer
- register
- i'm sure there are loads of other things but whatev.
all that's fine, whatever, her wedding not mine. however, when i (along w/ about seven other people) got an email from her this morning asking for us to help her find a particular tie, i thought it was a bit weird.
i called her (after not being able to find this tie locally) and asked if she had tried X store. she let me know that they already had back up ties, but they just really wanted these other ones.
umm...yeah. i'm sure that's what everyone will take away from your wedding, that perfect shade for the ties.
Ok I got another one.
I want to get a tattoo. No particular reason other than I want to.
Except I can't think of anything to get. I can't think of a single thing that has any significance or meaning to me, or even anything that I really like that would work as a tattoo. I don't really care for flowers, I'm not a butterfly type of chick. I don't want to just get the kids names.
How lame must I be if I can't even come up with a good tattoo?
I need to lose 20 pounds but can't stop freakin eating. I'm a stress eater first, then when I get really bad I stop eating. It's weird. Yeah today I haven't eaten a thing, so I know I need to go back to the doc ASAP. I called DH saying leave work and come home, he's been gone since Sunday. He says he can't. Which makes me mad.
My little sis on the other hand is a saint. I called her and she said she was leaving as soon as she packs
At least I'm number one in someone's life right.
And I'm going to make DH feel bad for it. Not once has he ever left work when I needed him. Not even when I had to go to the hospital for surgery. I'm dealing with stress from work, trying to sell the house, students being sexually assaulted by family members or family members dying, I miss my dogs, and DH went and royally screwed up last week. Like screwed up big time...like could lose his job big time. I'm stressed and depressed and all he can say is well sorry, gotta work. I can't go running because it hasn't stopped raining since Sunday.
I hate Laredo. I know just 6 more weeks, but I hate this hell hole. I don't see how anyone can live here. It should be declared a disaster zone.
Joyco ... I think that's more common than a lot of women want to admit. I'm sure it's EXTREMELY common to any mother just getting her TWO children into toddler-hood.
And I'm sure you rememeber that's pretty much how I feel about cats. I know it's apples to oranges, but I don't like touching cats. They're cute, sure. But I don't want to own one, and I don't like to touch them. Not sure why ...(and this from the girl with two giant, hairy, dirty, slobbery dogs).
MrsRosie ... I think it'd be an excellant time for the trip! It will take your mind off your husband and alligators! I know I'd rather be busy than sitting at home worrying.
Thinking about my confession ...
I agree that it's not a big deal that she is doing dwts and has kids. Plenty of people have been on the show who have kids. But what bugs me is the people who say "she needs to do it to support her kids - she has no other choice". She always has choices. Sell your huge mansion so you dont have a huge ass mortgage and get a job. She used to be a nurse, didn't she? Why can't she do that? She just wants to maintain her fancy lifestyle. Which is fine, who doesn't want to have a lot of money? But don't try to sell it as "I have no other choice". There are always choices.
Glee. I don't get it. Maybe it's b/c I watched a random episode in the middle of the season so I didn't understand who people were/story lines, but it did nothing for me. This is flame free, right?
DH is doing the MS150 bike race/ride this weekend. He left at noon today so I'm at home alone until Sunday evening with a 9 month old with an ear infection and a hyper/loud 2.5 yr old and it's supposed to rain the whole time. God bless you, SAHMs of 2+. How do you survive rainy days?
Oh come on!! Spill it!
I drive a gas guzzling, ozone killing car. Offend me!
sorry. they are ALWAYS asleep when we are out and wake up to eat and go back to sleep. yesterday was the first time i have gone out alone with all 3 kids. sorry.
mine is from the same gtg. i felt so out of place there. i am not too sure why. maybe b/c i think most of the lovely ladies already had an established friendship. maybe b/c our kiddos are so far apart in age. maybe b/c i was super stressed with the babies crying and DS kinda acting out. i had only slept an hour and a 1/2 and spent most of the day before in the ER b/c of bleeding and passing clots (after not bleeding for 2 weeks and was 5 weeks pp) and the OB was worried about hemorrhaging and got put on a bunch of meds and stuff. i had been looking forward to this gtg for a while and made sure i made it out of the house to be there. i felt bad b/c i was late and b/c the babies were crying when i was nursing or feeding the other and when i was trying on swimsuits and i felt HORRIBLE b/c it seemed like other people were being forced to watch them while i selfishly tried clothes on and they were unhappy. M spit up on the really nice lady who was helping (and it was ALOT...she rarely spits up too so i was very surprised)
all in all, i felt sooo horrible about how yesterday turned out...idk if we will be able to go to another gtg anytime soon. i guess it was pretty retarded of me to expect to have a smooth day with 5 week old twins and a 3 1/2 year old out on my own
idk i think i made the gtg bad for everyone else. :-( i am sorry ladies
vent over
Yeah, but she has EIGHT kids. A nurse's salary isn't going to go far. How much is it to feed eight kids? To clothe 8 kids, even with thrift store clothes? And they can't hardly go to public schools now, with how notorious their family has become it wouldn't be safe, so who's paying for private schooling? And how much would after school childcare cost for eight kids?
Sure, they could move to some podunk little midwestern town and probably make it work if they pinched every penny, didn't have a car, and crammed 3 kids to a bedroom ... but is that fair at all to the kids? To uproot them from their home and move and have them never see their mom because she's working 7 days a week to put food on the table? At least with the job she has now when she's home, it's for at least a few days nonstop.
I don't think there's much of a choice there. I don't love Kate, I think she's annoying and watching her dance makes me cringe ... but I don't think she's doing anything wrong.

I thought I read somewhere that Kate made so much money off the show that she's definitely not hurting for cash.
I already thought she was a crappy mother long before she signed up for DWTS.
Charlie wakes up about 2 times per night now. It sucks, but it's not that bad, especially since he doesn't wake up for the day until 7am, now that we've moved his bedtime back to 8pm.
I play it up for DH and make it sound like the worst thing ever, because he gets up with both of the kids and has to get ready, feed Leo, and occupy Charlie, until he leaves for work at around 8:45. I don't want him to know that it's not really so bad, because if he did he might want me to get up earlier and I really like getting that extra hour or so of sleep.
DH had the day off yesterday and I told him that I needed him to watch DD because I was going to have to spend all day cleaning. The reason I had to clean was because SIL and BIL are coming into town this weekend and we're having DH's work team over on Sunday.
Well, I ended up trying to put DD down for a nap and he said he would clean while I was doing it. I came out of her room finally (she was still crying) to see that he had done jackshit. So I got pissed and told him he was in charge of getting DD to sleep and cleaning the living room. Then I got into bed, put the pillow over my head and took a nap for an hour and a half. It was the best nap and I don't feel bad at all.
You have to spill..it's flame free.

my BFF from high school and I are on gChat talking soooo much trash about people from high school while looking them up on FB. how ugly they are, if they've gained weight, gotten skinnier/look like their on crack, etc. some uncharacteristicly mean things have come out of mouth but i meant them.
i think our new church pastor is cute
The thing with Kate hate is that she has a crappy attitude. I know it's hard with eight kids but she has it a lot easier than other single moms so can we stop with "poor me" attitude? I'm over the ugly looks she gives to the judges or while she's waiting for results. She just needs to get over herself. And her dancing is REALLY bad.
As for my FFFC, nothing really. I haven't done ANY work today and I have A LOT to do.
I actually like Kate. I guess because I am a b!tch just like her? I don't know?! ;-)
For lunch I ate Doritos and my 2nd Diet Coke for the day. Oops!
TLC bought the house as a thank you gift. There is no mortgage. I am pretty certain she gets child support as well. She also has a book coming out and receives residuals. They aren't hurting for $ now but I am sure she's milking her fame for all she can. I don't care if she does or doesn't do TV. I think her attitude in general sucks and always have.
I have a client coming over in 3 hours and my office is a disaster. I have no motivation to clean it and am tempted to ask to meet at Starbucks instead so I don't have to waste naptime cleaning up my crap.
Yeah, I'm being supremely lazy today. I think I need to stop nesting now and get my office clean

I let the boys have "independent play" much more than I think most moms do.
There, I said THAT.
I'll name the ones I hate....Kia and Scion. Really everytime I'm yelling at someone on the road it's usually a Kia.
Will gets lots of independent play too. And you know what? He's independent. And he loves to play by himself. And I have no shame about it.
I think it's good for 'em! Plus, the boys have NO stranger anxiety. They will go to anyone, people always comment on how friendly they are, so there.
(glad to hear someone else does it too!!)
(me too!)
I think independent play is great. He's already learning to be creative (I mean, what else would you call putting Tonka trucks in Noah's Ark and then pushing it around the house like a race car?) And it's not like I abandon him or anything. I'm always there and I talk to him constantly. I'm just not always down on the floor playing with his toys with him. When I do play with him I usually get the "WTF are you doing playing with MY toys?!" looks.
Damn- didn't really think it'd be that hot of a topic. Flippin' Friday work has kept me busy.
BMWs- why do they think they're the fastest car on the road- seriously? Lots of cars are fast, get over yourself. And stop trying to fly around everyone like a jackass going 60 in a 35. You just look stupid.
Prius- Good gawd some of them are righteous. Then they drive all stupid- either slow in the fast lane or they nail it and drive stupid overriding the intent. Just get out of the way- for real!
This definitely does NOT apply to all drivers of both cars. Just my bitchy observation. It doesn't help that my coworker I despise drives a Prius and never shuts thehellup about it.
I drive a volvo S60. Feel free to flame my car if I offended you.
