Re: *~*Flame-Free Confession Friday*~*
Alanis Racquel 9/11/11
Which reminds me, I bought a box of the big Oatmeal Pies (Little Debbies), and I hid them in my closet so DH doesn't know I have them.
I hate when people tell me that is is a girl because my belly is high, or a boy because my skin glows, or whatever. None of that works people!
Know it all mommies piss me off. I am not going to eat or drink or do something simply because you said it was ok to do. I will follow the directions of my doctor, the one who holds the medical degree and who I generously pay for advice. This doesn't make me naive or a marytar, it simply makes me a smart patient.
Our parents generation drank and smoked all through pregnancy... and for the most part we all turned out ok. Should we will pick up the bottle and light up to that? (although at times I would like to)
I personally find late pregnancy 3-d ultrasound photos creepy and am disturbed by them when people put them in their FB profiles.
Unless medically necessary, I am not sure why someone would want to see exactly what their baby looks like right before birth. I would think one would want to leave some surprise for that day.
I mentioned this yesterday, but I hate when my husband or I say we are tired and someone says "Oh just wait til that baby gets here!" Um no, it is still possible to be tired when you don't have children yet. My husband is a teacher and coaches two sports, leads a club at the school, does detentions and Saturday schools and is the social studies department head. I am working full time and going to school full time with classes three nights a week. Not to mention we go to church at least twice a week. I'm just saying I think we have a little bit of a reason to be tired NOW.
I also just hate that when you say you are excited about being pregnant, people feel the need to point out every negative thing about it. "oh just wait til you get puked/pooped on" "oh just wait until that baby is screaming at 3 am" "oh you have no idea what youre in for!" What do they expect me to say?? Thank you for sharing this insight with me, what the heck was I thinking? I should never have gotten pregnant!

1. I left this morning without saying goodbye to my husband. When he got home last night, we were getting along great and I was in a great mood, then I disagreed with him over something petty, and he said "GAH, JUST GO TO BED." Ugh. I refuse to talk to him until he apologizes and I can't concentrate on anything else now. Pity party for Nat.
2. I am having difficulty determining where pregnancy exhaustion ends and the laziness begins.
3. If I feel like pushing my belly out I will. I don't and haven't, but I really don't care what anyone thinks about it!
Even writing this I feel petty - but when a co-worker pissed me off yesterday I dis-invited her to my baby shower in my head.
I am so laughing at myself right now and blaming hormones.
I'm totally feeling this, especially now as I'm starting to get some of my energy back, but don't feel like using it.
I completely disagree with you and support every womans right to choose 1000% . I'm guessing you were never raped... My best friend was only 17 when a masked man jumped in her car at a stoplight and put a gun to her head. He repeatedly raped her and terrorized her for hours. She is lucky to be alive. That horror will live with her forever. She shouldn't have to (and no one should) be forced to have a monsters baby because "someone could give it a good home"
I have never seen this but I don't doubt it, very disturbing.
I don't take *quite* as strong a stance as you, but I totally believe that it could be affecting us more than we realize. I try not to be preachy about it, because no one likes a...wait for it...douchecanoe! But yeah, we try to eat organic/unprocessed as much as we can. (Though my 1st tri has been a major fail in that endeavor). We've noticed a real difference in our health.
And Pets!!
I just totally told my boss to chill and give me some space. He loves to bombard me with way too much crap in the morning and his attitude always stresses me out. I couldn't handle it this morning and basically said, "look, let me get through all the crap I already have on my desk, and then I will look at your crap. I can't handle it this morning." On top of that his giant fish-breathed dog won't leave me alone. It's making me gag.
I was going to respond to another thread, but I wanted it to be FF.
DH went out of town yesterday, and he will be back today. When I got home yesterday, I noticed he left a loaded gun by on my nightstand, and it made me smile.
To clarify, he's a law enforcement officer, and he has dealt with some nasty people, such as Hell's Angels. Who knows if someone would ever retaliate against him, but when he goes out of town, he likes to make sure I can take care of myself. By the way, I have a concealed weapon permit and know how to handle a gun. Yes, it will be different when kids are in the house, but for now, loaded guns will remain in plain view for easy accessibility.
Just to be clear, I wasn't calling *you* preachy. Hope it didn't come across that way--I like you! I've just been personally preachy about it, and it doesn't get me anywhere, and just makes me come across as a douchecanoe. (And milk is one of the few things that I never, ever compromise on. Ours isn't organic, but it's local, and hormone free.)
1) I get really annoyed that when people post their FLAME FREE CONFESSIONS on here and yet others want to sit here and argue with them. Isn't this Flame Free for a reason?????
2) I plan on eating whatever I want today and not feeling guilty about it. My Fridays are eat all you want days and I plan to take full advantage of it!!
I am a total B#tch. But I do feel like my hormones have acted as an amplifier for my bitchitude. Or maybe the fetus is using my b!tch filter for something very important.
I hate the term big girl panties. It used to be funny but now it just annoys me.
I told DH we wouldn't tell any friends until we're able to tell his mom. Last week I told 2 friends and this week I told like 5 more. I'm so sick of his mom indirectly ruling our lives. DH has no idea and I feel bad, but I really want to throat punch his mom.
i totally took out one of my coworkers wedding invitations out of the stack when they pissed me off
1. My mind doesn't work in the morning. I get excited to see the FFFC is up, but can't think of the billion things I wanted to post until I read others responses that jog my memory.
2. I get really annoyed with how naive people are to the marketing that comes with food being "organic" or "hormone free." As a general rule, it's not difficult to get that label on a product.
3. Along those same lines, I feel like you can find research to support whatever parenting decisions you want to make. Organic is best/worst, vaccinations are necessary/dangerous, on and on and on.
4. After all the bullsh!t my job has put me through this week (combined with the fact that I've already resigned but am not done yet), I am having a really difficult time finding any sort of motivation.

I don't think anything is really flame free, especially on the bump.
That being said, I just don't have the energy to deal with some of these confessions.
But, I will play along: I am pissed off that I was looking forward to my team breakfast today at work because my coworker who was buying breakfast (we take turns every friday) said he was going to Mcdonald's. Yeah, I was totally disappointed when he showed up with oatmeal and OJ. Blech! Now I will starve until lunchtime.
Your friends frustrate ME! haha! Did you ever get the issues worked out with them not inviting you anywhere anymore?
