Re: *~*Flame Free Confession Friday*~*
I am a bad pregnant lady...I have two cups of coffee a day, I ate prosciutto the other day (a lot of it), and do some other things that would have women looking at me sideways if they knew I was pregnant. (not smoking and not drinking, I swear!)
DS-11 years, DD-3 years, DS-born 9/15/10, DD-9/09/11
You're just giving birth now, you're not mother Earth now
Alright, I've got 2 today:
1) I am way more judgmental and closed-minded than I like to think I am. TB has really brought this out in me, but it has also brought it to my attention, so I'm realizing more that it something I need to work on. But I confess that sometimes I'm a douchecanoe.
2) Also, I pee in the shower.
I didnt wish my mom happy mothers day. Yesterday I told my mom she wasnt a mother (Or grandmother) feeding and housing a child for 18 years doesnt make her a "Mom". I dont feel bad about it at all and glad I finally got it off my chest.
I made an appt. to get my hair done
BUT My hair lady is using all non - permanent - amonia free dyes on me. alittle better. maybe. euh.
This may go more under UO, but I hate the mentality that once you get pregnant/have kids your life is over. DH and I are still going out with friends every weekend, staying out till 2/3 in the morning, and being active during the day.
Granted when LO gets here we obviously won't be going to bars/staying out that late, but if LO is a well behaved baby he will be coming with us over to friends houses, out to eat, to the movies, etc. Obviously if we have a baby who has trouble sleeping, crys all the time we will be staying at home.
Going off the earlier post about fast food...
I completely judge my friend who gets fast food at least 2 times a week for her kids. She's always complaining how they are "too busy to cook" and says "just wait til you have kids". This is one thing I can pretty much guarantee you I will never do. On occasion, of course. Twice a week, absolutely not. I'm sure life gets busy at times, but I feel that there ways to make a quick healthy dinner. If you can't make something, there are definitely options healthier than McDonalds and Pizza that you can pick up for your kids.
I've dyed my hair when pregnant with DD.. I havent yet this time but fully plan to before he arrives..
Also for Womancake- I have peed in the shower as well..
Not so much anymore since I shower with DD..but it has happened prior to having her.
Oh and another:
I've "taken care of myself" more than once this week while DH is asleep in bed next to me.. I'd rather handle things alone than return a favor..plus hes been super tired all the time due to work..I have needs!
Me, too. Different pipes (Seinfeld, anyone?), my arse
After hearing that my OB won't let me go more than a few days past my due date (b/c of GD and potential size of baby), I was really bummed. Not because of the induction itself, but that I will have to go back to work earlier in December than I wanted to. I really wanted to be a week or more late, so that I could come back to work the week of Christmas and be given the rest of the year to slide back into my routine. It is beyond slow at that point in the year and most, if not all, of my clients are not available anyways.
I can't stand people who complain about their jobs. Get over yourself, there are a ton of other opportunities out there and if you're too lazy to go find one of them that you liek better, then keep your mouth shut. If you've tried finding them and nothing has worked, then still keep your mouth shut because there are millions of people without jobs. I can understand complaining about your boss or coworkers (because we all know we won't like everyone), but it really sets me off when people constantly complain about how much they hate their job.
Also...I ate cotton candy for breakfast....and it was delicious.
bahahahaha! ME TOO!
I completely agree with you. One of my friends who has kids still has a social life, and the other doesn't. I am definitely not the type to sit home all the time and do nothing. Luckily we have family nearby who I'm sure would love to watch our son so we can still go out with friends on occasion.
I have a couple this week- some of which I voiced in my junkfood post.
- I think super high heels to be walked in is stupid. I shake my head every time I see a girl teeter-tottering down the street with her knees all buckled in, ankles shaking. No shoes are so cute that you need to walk like a weirdo. Wear the 6 inch heels if you are going to stand in one place. If not, be sensible.
- I sneak food and drinks in the movie theater. Almost every time. I am a pro at this.
- I get super annoyed when people post in the third person, or third person singular on Facebook. It drives me BONKERS.
Mshrader: Totally agree with you on your FFFC. I really do. Not 2-3 am, but yes, my kid is going places, for sure.
My boss is gone for the day so I am going to take an extra long lunch break and enjoy the sunshine.
THANK YOU! I've done this on numerous occasions in the past few months. So much easier than sexy time at this point.

You're just giving birth now, you're not mother Earth now
I'm tired of traveling with my husband for his work and I just want to stay home...but I'm not sure I can be on my own without him at this time in my pregnancy. I'm scared I'm going to freak out and go into a depression. Which embaresses me.
I also pee in the shower...and wonder if DH does it too. Then I get grossed out and think 'he better no be' as I continue to.
1. So far today I've had 2 donuts and 2 bowls of frosted flakes. Not sure what's come over me but I'm out of control this morning. Definitely eating a healthy lunch and dinner and NO MORE SWEETS for the rest of the day.
2. I dye my hair, drink caffiene, and don't drink enough water.
3. I only clean our master bath about once a month and the sink and shower are super gross right now. The guest bath that other people use gets cleaned weekly.
My confession this week: I am sick of hearing all the vent posts about people getting stupid comments from friends/strangers/co-workers about their pregnancy. Some people are rude. Its a fact of life. I think we need to just take a deep breath and either ignore them or confront them and tell them you don't think their comments are appropriate.
Also, I have been known to pee in the shower on occasion as well.
I probably complain about my job more than I should, but I have to tell you that it's really not all that easy to find a job in all areas of the country, especially depending on your field. My DH and I are both attorneys...he was laid off for 8 months last year before finding a new job. I have been looking for a new job for over a year now because I have never been more miserable at a job in my life. I come home crying at least once a week because I'm so frustrated with my job and the lack of jobs to even apply for. When I do apply for a job, I rarely even get a rejection letter because the firms have so many applicants for a single position. My DH graduated from law school 2 years ago and there are still people in his class that have yet to find a legal job. We're talking people who have graduated, passed the bar and are working retail jobs.
I hate my job, but make way too good of money to leave.
I eat deli meat and processed chicken way more than I should. Subway is a girls bff these days.
I totally pee in the shower, thinking of DH doing that doesn't bother me....thinking of DH relieving himself in another way in the shower kind of bothers me. Even though taking care of myself is a-okay!
I plan on getting my hair colored next week, and didn't bat an eye.
I have been contemplating fake baking or getting spray tanned...anything! I'm so sick of being pale! I just haven't done the research and feel like I'm probably not supposed to.
i got my hair done last weekend
I always heard it was ok after your first trimester
I ate a donut for breakfast yesterday and hid the evidence so my admin wouldn't find the donut bag! Then I had fried chicken for dinner! Hello heartburn.
ETA: I pick my zits. I can't help it, they drive me crazy. There I feel better.
100% agree on this. I pee in the shower, and I have also peed in the ocean, so sue me. But the other thing, I am a total hypocrite. Like a few of you, these days I've just been doing my own thing b/c I don't feel like getting DH involved. But, I do get annoyed when I think of him doing it, because I feel like, "I'm right here, just ask me or try to get me in the mood!" I know, hypocrite. I totally admit it.
I hate my job and complain about it several times a week. It really is NOT a case of just sucking it up and finding a new job. The economy, while on the upswing, still sucks and I'm not exactly in the best shape to go job hunting. I stay because I have amazing benefits and time off, but other than that I'm miserable.
This is REALLY flameful....
When I see posters who are like super duper over the top excited to find out their baby is a certain sex and then go out and spend a crap load of money on clothes and nursery stuff that is very gender specific, a small part of me hopes that their u/s tech was wrong and they end up having a baby of the opposite sex. It's evil and bad to think that way but I can't help it.
1. I also don't shower everyday. I usually go every other day. I set my alarm to get up early to shower this morning but I was so exhausted that I said screw it and took the extra time to rest.
2. Speaking of tired. I'm flat out exhausted today because I didn't sleep well last night. I am so tempted to go home and go to bed, but I don't want to leave work because A- I don't want to use PTO or lose out on the money and more importantly B- We usually go to yummy Carribbean place on Fridays and I really want some free delicious food. I may just throw in the towel after lunch. But I want my chicken tacos!
3. I can't bring myself to pee in my own shower, but once I did pee in a nice spa shower. To my credit I was drunk at the time, but still....
First confession is self-evident: I am clearly incapable of centering my signature pic :-)
Second confession: While I'm a very tolerant, live and let live kinda gal, my knee-jerk reactions to thinks are incredibly judgmental and venomous.
1 - I totally pee in the shower. DH thinks it's disgusting though.
2 - I don't always brush my teeth before bed, I'm lazy.
3 - I only wash my hair every 3 days. I have really clean hair and it's really thick and curly and if I wash it too much it gets dry and frizzy.
...this post makes me sound disgusting lol...

* I pee in the shower almost every morning because I feel like it wastes less water then flushing the toilet and then getting in the shower. Plus, I like it. I don't care if DH does it too, just as long as I'm not in there with him.
* I pick scabs and pretty much anything that peels off, like skin after getting a sunburn or even paint in a public building.
* When people weave in and out of lines and drive like an a$$, I watch them an wish they would crash. I don't want them to die or hurt anyone else, but I do wish their car would be totaled. When I had my little car, I used to do this sometimes just to get around a slow-poke and always felt like a d!ck after. BUT it was fun too. It made me feel like a race car driver. Man, I miss that car.
* I'm a hypocrite.
My mom is hosting my baby shower and my bff who lives a couple hours away is co-hosting it. So I am going to make the invites and send them out so my mom doesn't have to.
Also, whenever we have a 2nd baby if someone wants to throw me a shower for that baby too, I will happily accept it. I think it is stupid to turn it down if someone is offering.
Whenever I wanted to get "in the mood" I would watch the movie Step Up to watch sexy ass Channing Tatum dance and it always did the trick. If you can dance and look like he does then you are okay in my book
I havent even begun to start the nursery because
1. We bought the house less than a yr ago. I am pretty convinced the 4th bedroom that is supposed to be the nursery is haunted. I have NEVER even cleaned it and never open the door. I am SERIOUSLY scared of it and dont know what to do.
2. I just dont want to dedicate the time to it. I would rather hang with my kids....and uhmm the bump.
br
Me too...I mean, who doesn't...lol.
This.
Also, am not speaking to her and agree- although in my case it's "clothing and housing a child for 14 years doesn't make you a mom"
Yep habit from ttgp :P I say FFFC too.
ETA: I was at my 20 week appt this morn so wasn't able to post with a bad ass gif...I'll start looking for one for next week for you though lol
