Okay ladies, flameful confession time

Amanda&Chris

This board needs SOMETHING going on at night.  It's pathetic around here these days.

 I'll try to think of a better one, but for now...  My cousin is getting married in a week and a half.  I'm not going because I didn't get a personal invitation, my parents got one for the entire family.  I think that's tacky once someone is out of college.  I also think their marriage will last 5 years, max.  They are so, so, so wrong for each other that I can't even pretend to be happy for them.

I bought 2 pairs of designer denim on Monday.

I might buy another pair tomorrow.  I think designer denim should be a human right, hahahaha.

I like to shop.  Yes, I do.

A flameful parenting confession is that I use the F bomb a lot.  I know it's going to be Jackson's next word.

I didn't go to a cousins wedding because I couldn't stand the guy she was marrying.  He treated her like crap, had two DUI's (that we knew of) and was unemployed and just stayed home and played video games all day.  I didn't think it would last more than a few years...they filed for divorce before the wedding pictures came back from the photographer.  I'm still bitter that I spent $100 on a gift card for them.

I have a fake name on facebook and have been checking out profiles of old boyfriends and dh's old girlfriends.  Good times.

eclaires

Oh here's a wedding related one.

I want my brother to get engaged soon and I want my SIL to get engaged soon, b/c I want to plan when we have our next kid.  I was pg at several weddings with Jackson and it sucked.  So I want to be skinny and not pregnant at these weddings.  I think it's clear I am a) kinda shallow and b) an alcoholic.

My Mom wanted to know how tall DD was & I tried to measure her & she kept freaking out so DH was trying to help & he got all mad at her so I told him to quit being a d*ck & DD kept repeating D*ck, D*ck*, D*ck all night.

REOM

We are having a big party for emi's christening. I agreed to invite all these extra people to keep the inlaws happy and b/c I thought they wouldn't come. well, they are coming and I am so pissed b/c they are so effin cheap that it is going to cost us so much extra to have them. blech

Amanda&Chris

Eclaires-- I feel the same way about my brother and sister.  I refuse to be a pregnant bridesmaid!!!!

 

SumnerBride

I haven't had sex in almost 7 months, and I can probably go another 6 and not care.

I want a glass of wine tonight, and I'm about to sneak one before DH gets home...

Shelly203

eclaires-I am totally with you on the being pregnant at wedding thing!  I was pregnant with my Jackson through too many weddings and bachelorette parties too.  I guess that makes me shallow and an alcoholic as well.

eclaires

Being a pg bridesmaid is cruel and unusual torture.  I was a pg bridesmaid in 3 weddings.  At 6 months, 7 months and 8.5 months pg.  NEVER again.

Effing miserable, let me tell you.

eclaires

We should start a club of shallow alcoholics.  It'd be a blast.

LauraMiller

I can beat you Eclaires:  I have bought 7 pairs of designer jeans in the past 2 weeks . AND I have 10 pounds of baby weight left to lose.  I blame my obsessive shopping on hormones.  At least I bought them tight so that they will fit if I lose weight.

Yet another reason for me to you.

I'm in the shallow alcoholic club!! Sign me up!

Here's my shopping confession...  I've spent over $1,000 on shoes in the last month.  For me.

1.Noah is having a pickle for dinner and I am fine with it.  At this point, whatever he will eat I am fine with b/c he will eat next to nothing.

2.I think this board totally sucks lately and 90% of the posts bore me.

3. MH is going to the UT football game this weekend.  I am pretty pissed about it and was pretty close to telling him he couldn't go.  (It's 3 hours away.)  I plan on doing some heavy retail therapy on his credit card instead though.

eclaires

Hello fellow shoppers.  Welcome! 

Brew, you def need retail therapy. DEFINITELY.

If my MIL buys my kids one more piece of ugly clothing, I'm going to go off. Sure, I'm supposed to be grateful, but FIL has been out of a job for over a year, and she continues to spend way too much money on junk that I would never put my kids in. It kinda annoys me that she can't seem to notice how I dress my kids and the fact that I've never put my kids in an article of clothing that she bought. She went and bought Ethan's christmas outfit this past week...it looks like one of those outfits that you would buy at cracker barrel.

My neighbors little girl is over playing with my dd and she is being so mean to to my dd.  My dd just hit her because she keeps taking toys away from her and I did not tell my dd anything, secretly I hope she hits her again!

Not to mention I am in a pissy mood tonight and have little to no patience, maybe I will just go and drink a glass or two of wine.

Oh and another one.

Sort of parenting related.  I'm currently a SAHM, but my son has MMO on Mondays and spends Wednesdays with my MIL.

Sometimes it makes me feel lazy or at least self indulgent (b/c I spend wednesdays shopping and doing stuff for me).  It definitely makes me feel guilty, even though I think it's good for my sanity.  Sometimes, I think, man this is the life.  And then I feel guilty.

DevonPow

I can join - I just bought two new coats, had a slight "problem" at J Crew, and a new Coach bag.  All this with the stock market in the crapper.

Oh, and DS is also in daycare 2 days a week even though I stay at home. I love it.

eclaires

DevonPow, if we could put aside our political differences, I think we could be BFF.  LOL.  Only my slight problems are Anthropologie and MAC makeup.

I remembered something else I need to confess - I have misplaced my keys THREE mornings in a row.  I kid you not.  And each time, I've called to yell at my husband b/c it's totally his fault.  Not really but I like to blame him for everything.

Amanda&Chris

Eclaires and Devon--that's not flameful.  I am jealous!  I keep talking about finding a babysitter for one morning a week, but I haven't done it yet.  Don't feel guilty!

DevonPow

I am ALWAYS willing to set aside my political differences for shopping friends.

eclaires

YAY, me too. 

Amanda, seriously, DO IT.  I think I feel guilty because our care is basically free, since it's MIL and she LOVES it.  If I work and then stay home again w/ another kid, I am SO finding someone to keep the kids a day or two a week (since we're moving).  It really makes me a lot happier mom and person.

Amanda&Chris

Beth--thanks!  I just need to find someone and do it instead of talking about it.  I know Lila would be fine and I would appreciate the alone time!

Shelly203

I have another one that all this talk made me think of.  I was a teacher before Jackson was born, and now I am a SAHM.  Sometimes I will go sub for friends of mine that are teachers just to get out and have my own sanity time.  I know it's work, but it's what I like, so I really enjoy that time away from home and sort of to myself.  My mom watches Jackson, and sometimes I tell her that school gets out later than it does and I sneak off to get a coffee or go shopping for a little while.

I just bought myself a bunch of things because DH was late coming home and I didn't get to go to my running group tonight.  And it was too dark to go out safely alone. 

 

Oh, and i poured a big glass of wine as soon as I realized he wouldn't be home in time.

And, I committed us to 2 more weekends in 2008 that are ALL about me and my running. 

michaeltrish

Have you done this too, Belle?  I know Wan-naBe would confess to it as well.

2.I think this board totally sucks lately and 90% of the posts bore me.

 

I agree completely with this statement. I have spent an enormous amount of money lately on shopping for the kids and myself, and that's the only reason I've started selling on ebay again. I just want to offset the cost. Otherwise, all of their outgrown clothes would still be stashed away because it's so time-consuming for me to ebay.

 Also, I have no idea where this pee in the butt tagline came from, but I hate it. It's gross and trashy. 

eclaires

I think we are twins, xti!  I agree on the pee in the butt thing, it makes me want to barf.  No one can pee in my butt, not even Tom Brady or Chace Crawford.

Also, I hate ebaying, but I'm going to do it b/c I'd like to offset some of what I've spent.  It just takes soooooo much time.  Wah.

pincushion

I am 100% shallow and I don't care!

pincushion

I am also ebaying DD's wardrobe to offset my costs... and to also fuel my addiction!

luckyluvr

I'm insanely jealous of the moms on here who get to be SAHM's. Unless we win or inherit some large sum of money, it's never going to happen for me. I have one more, I hate my job; I've always hated my job, and lately I don't even fake it around my co-workers. The idea that all teachers just love their jobs and are these great martyr human beings is a crock. Most of the time I really don't care if the kids are learning anymore--they sure as hell don't care either . As long as they know what they need long enough to pass the test and satisfy the principal and the API scores, that's all CA high schools care about!
