It's Friday! - FFFC

Who has one?

I pumped while driving to work today.  I was full and hurting - don't worry, I didn't have any kids in the car

Last night I didn't want to eat dinner late so I told DH we'd better order pizza because the roast I was cooking wouldn't be done at a decent time... my pizza sat getting cooling off while I finished the roast cause they were ready at the same time.

Our baby class is having weekly playdates and we're hosting next week.  Only 1 person out of 9 has said they're coming over and I'm feeling self-conscious about it; like I'm the kid in school no one wants to hang out with.

I also used the playdate in conjunction with Em's birthday as an excuse to pick out a couple of toys for DD

I think Petunia Picklebottom bags are ugly. I would never pay that kind of money for one of those.

MOHjen

This morning Maeve was standing next to one of her newborn pictures and I thought to myself - Wow who would have thought that such an unfortunate looking newborn would grow up to be such an adorable toddler. 

I love my kid and think she's gorgeous but man she was not a cute newborn.

The other day my H sat in one of our camping chairs. It was half broken before he sat in it, but he was in the chair for a couple of minutes when it buckled under him. I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I started crying. Another one is I have to work at various times this weekend so I can't help chaperone a baseball tournament for the youth group we work with. My H is taking C with him for the weekend. I am nervous because my H has never had C alone for more than a few hours.

DH works 1/2 day every other Sat, so he gets a full week day off on those weeks.  Since we still have to pay for daycare anyway, and to keep DS in his routine, we send him to daycare.  I would love to have a full day where I get the house to myself, even if it's just to clean and run errands!  By time he gets home from work on Sat. we are all up, dressed, and ready to go do something so it's not really like working that day is too big of a deal.

I totally hear you! I am going away for a girls weekend starting tonight and DH will be home with T all weekend alone. He hasn't been alone with him more than overnight.  Should be fun. Buahahaha

Me too. I also hate backpack diaper bags.

• I sometimes think the same as MOHjen

 

• Twice, N has heard Queen?s Fat Bottomed Girls.  A few times he?s said  ?they make the rocking world go ?round?.  Yes, they do sweetie. They certainly do.

 

• I love the one sneak peek Amy sent of the boudoir session last week and it was a good reminder that even though I?m 36 and a size 16, I do look good and I should make more of an effort to look my best everyday. And that I need to stop putting myself down. And I should wear thigh-highs more often.

I went to Target last night and saw a bunch of toys on sale and told DH I was going to start Xmas shopping for DS and just store the toys away so we didn't spend so much all at once.

I am excited about our upcoming camping trip to Idaho but mostly because we decided to break up the drive into 2 days and stay at a hotel in the 1/2 way point.

I HATE Uggs on adults (I think they are cute for little kids) and terry/velour track suits. I dont think that either should be worn in public no matter how much you spent on it.

I don't know what I would do without a backpack diaper bag.  I hated having both a bag and a kid hanging off of me.  I like having the bag out of the way.

I had a dream about my friends hot husband. We were only hanging out in the dream but I still woke up feeling kind of guilty. I've drank every night for the past week or so after the kids have gone to bed. Not a lot but man it feels good to have a drink and unwind.

My mom is paying for the boys to go to the daycare at the club from 1-4:30 today so I can help her in her closet, and I'm excited to have a 1/2 day off.

I hate this weather, Cruz has been playing way too much xbox!

Ohh and I spent entirely too much at the nordstrom presale but I love my new marc jacobs leather jacket so much I could sleep in it!

I had a cheaper messenger diaper bag. When G was nearly 1 year old DH got me a PB bag. I have no idea why. I still have it, I need to sell it. Cute pattern really, but the bag is a stupid desgn, the top doesn't even close or snap shut.

I love backpack diaper bags. I use a sling backpack now (a sweet g-sale find) for outings. It's perfect.

I took G to the drive in. Cars 2 was horrible IMHO. Oh well. We were all buckled in ready for the movie, snack etc. I had to pee so bad and no way was I unbuckling him to take him all the way back to the restrooms. Huggies are impressive I must say.

I periodicly stick my tongue out at security cameras. Makes me feel better for some reason.

Sometimes when I'm having a low self-esteem moment, I think that with my awesome name, I should look more fit and put together.

I took today off of work to spend the day with my teenagers.  I had work to do at DH's shop this morning so I left them a chore list with the promise of a "surprise" - I'm going to take them to the movies.  I came home to them fighting and now I just want to send them to the movies and take a nap. 

But this is the last day I get with them without a newborn distracting me. 

and my mom just gave me a PPB diaper bag because the $25 one we bought at BRU wasn't "good" enough.  I'm going to giggle every time I put a poopy diaper and breast milk in it.

Although I really appreciated all the Birthday wishes I received on FB (especially from acquaintances and people I don't know IRL) - I am a little sad that none of my closest friends and only a couple of family members actually took the time to call or text me on my Birthday this year.  It just seemed very impersonal.  

 

I took a PG test yesterday even though I knew it would be a BFN in hopes of a miracle positive - especially since I have been feeling completely exhausted and constantly hungry lately.  Unfortunately it was a BFN and I have no excuse/reason for how I've been feeling I just wish I would start a cycle .. sigh ..

new one- my friend just posted a FB status update about how she's excited to go away with her boyfriend to a music festival and she's excited about a "jazz filled weekend."  But I read it as "a jizz filled weekend" and I choked and now I have coffee coming out of my nose.

When I put away or pack stuffed animals, I will rearrange things if necessary so that they are "comfortable" (not squished, head up, nothing over their faces).  I am 36 years old.

Ugh, stupid Bump.  Dup post.

I don't expect anyone to slog through this, but I had to get it off my chest.

I love my MIL, especially since she raised a great son. But the woman is driving me batty. She's needed her tires, brakes and rotors done for the last half a year, and instead of preparing for it financially or even logistically, she's been asking my guy to do them.

Hello...we have a family, two busy work schedules (he's been working 10-hour days almost seven days a week), a toddler an a pregnancy. And you lady can't keep a job more than six months, act like a teenager, and create whirlwinds of drama wherever you go. If it wasn't for the fact that were still paying off a school loan that she cosigned for, it would have been a NO.

There are other things like her changing her career dreams every two years...first it was jewelry, real estate in Brazil, then it was cars (with her soon-to-be FOURTH ex-husband), now it's nutrition. Thats especially ironic since shes very unhealthy and has issues her doctor keeps getting on her about. She keeps jumping from thing to thing hoping it will fix her, but she's the one constant in everything.

She has almost nothing for retirement and her health is declining, and while I have an agreement with my mom about taking care of her when she's old (she wiped my butt, so I'll wipe hers), I have no agreement with MIL. And it sucks because I can see it coming, her son, her dad, and her brothers see it coming, but she just keeps up with the unhealthy lifestyle she has.

I'm pissed she was so insistent about her damn car during my last month, and even worse, I see how much it stresses my guy out. He's carrying everything right now with me being out of commission, and she's too wrapped up in herself to see how she affects others.

My guy ended up putting the repairs on his credit card his to get it done.

I'm packing up and getting ready to leave for the weekend and realized that I'm not bringing much food. 90% of what I am bringing is alcohol, I'm afraid there might be puking involved (on my part) this weekend.  2 huge bottles of champagne, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of rum....who do I think I am? LOL My poor liver.

MrsEditorJax

I am kind of wishing that I had instituted a rule on the Seattle Bumpies FB page that to be approved, you have to actually post on the board -- or at least have posted reguarly in the past. I'm not overtly thrilled to get people signing up who have never even posted on here (and then don't post at all over there) and having access to all of our actual names and locations, given the AEs/weirdness around here as of late.

Spinning off on this.....DD was a really cute newborn. I'm nervous/scared (and have been since she was tiny) that that was her one shot at being cute.

This was me on my girl's weekend last week!  Just make sure you put the ingredients for my magic hangover cure elixer in there - bottles of Gatorade and a box of Alka Seltzer.  Put a packet of alka seltzer in a bottle, let it dizzolve, then drink.  Not tasty, but you'll be back to normal in no time!

Totally.  I can see lurking over here, gaining information from the discussions on parenting, local resources, etc., but I don't feel the same about lurking on the FB page.  It's a social networking site.  If you're not going to, well, be social or network, then WTF are you doing on that page?  If you want to passively watch something happen, sign up for Netflix.

I don't wear deoderant. I wash my hair every 3 to 4 days. I swear I am not a hippy.

All of this.  I am fine with past regulars who are known to many/most of us even if they don't come around often, but there is enough personal info there that I am not super comfortable with just anyone who says "I'm a Bumpie" being admitted.  We've all paid our dues around here, don't see why other people shouldn't have to do the same.

Mine: I am going to beat DH to a pulp if he doesn't effing call our accountant to get our taxes finished and filed.  It "stresses him out" when I ask if he's talked to the CPA yet...hello, it stresses me out that I have been waiting months for our refund, and that you cannot remember to call or e-mail this guy when he contacts you, AND you refuse to let me just take over so we can get it the fvck done.  I want my money, goddamnit.

Yep!  You should have them tell you their bump name before you let them join so you can see if they are legit.

My FFFC :

 

1. DH gave his 2 weeks notice today and I was hoping they'd tell him to not come back because I have at least 2 weeks of odd jobs around the house to keep him busy. No such luck though.

2. My fffc last week was about weight loss and nobody noticing. Apparently getting a new bra fixed this situation. Who know my poor girls were in that sad of shape.

Huggies are impressive I must say.

I tried this once when we were stuck in accident traffic for like 2 hours. I couldn't let go enough to pee. I also can't pee in the pool. I physically can't do it. Even if I want to. I guess I am gun shy when peeing anywhere but a toilet. (Or the shower).

I don't mean people like you at all, S. You're a regular poster over here and people know who you are. I am talking about people who don't post at all over here and then join the FB page and no one knows who they are. A Bump name a poster does not make. That is what makes me a bit nervous.
