Tuesday Confessions

1. We're deep cleaning our house because we've had mice off and on for months and I let MH do everything while I relaxed and cuddled Lo and let MH think I was busy.

2. I think Lo just said cnt and the only person who she would have heard it from is me. I don't say it often but I was really worked up about something. It's possible she just said cat though...

1) No matter how many times I watch it, I can't figure out the AT&T commercial about the parents watching their daughter's ballet recital on their phone.  I'm not sure if it's supposed to be funny or cute or what.

2) I also don't get accent nails AT all.

WTF I didn't know that about deodorant! I just assumed it would smush it like chapstick and a cap.

This. I have leftover cream cheese frosting in the fridge and I have every intention on sneaking into the kitchen throughout the evening and gorging myself on it.

I really want to bake a cake, but I'm irrationally afraid eating cake will cause me to fail my glucose tolerance test tomorrow.

I didn't know that about deodorant either!!!

My confession is that I wanted so badly to spend the day doing something with Gator just her and I for her birthday since SO had to work. The problem is he works from home and I know he would be upset if we did something without him and left him home. So we officially have no plans today, other than we went to part of his great aunts memorial service. Makes me wish he was at the office and not home so we could do something without him really knowing so he wouldn't feel left out.

I have always pulled the plastic cover off of the deodorant.

Halloween was cancelled for tomorrow, but I am still dressing Li up.

Oh I have another...

I'm really annoyed with a few family members. My SO and I always go to everybody's events or birthdays. We feel that they are important to us and we should be there to celebrate and show them that we care about them. I had one family member say they were coming two days before Gator's party and then never showed. She said she forgot. Then several family members didn't come because they wanted to watch football. I know it's petty but my feelings were hurt after always going to their things and them not really caring enough to go to Gator's birthday. I even had 30 people RSVP and not show up.....most of them family.

I know how you feel. Every time I plan a party, everyone bails on me last minute. I never do that. It is very upsetting.
When I graduated college, nearly everyone canceled on coming to my party. I expected thirty people and only four showed up. I was livid. I worked my azz off and no one cared. My ILs still owe me a make up dinner and that was two years ago.

My confession is that I fb stalked my ex to see his wedding photos. A mutual friend posted a few so I looked at them. I wanted to see more because the wedding was a train wreck. The bride is goth and has half of her head shaved and she wore a Black dress. The wedding cake was white and topped with a bloody heart with blood dripping down the sides. The theme was him giving her his heart. I almost died laughing.

And I busted my rear making enough food, plus some extra, because of how many RSVP'ed. So I could have done far less work in the kitchen had I known they weren't going to show.

A lot of times I just think "F it! I'm not going to go to their crap anymore!" But I don't want to stoop to their level. Bushes.

No one can cancel Halloween!  It's an offical holiday.  It'd be like canceling New Years Eve!

last time I tried to fb stalk an ex, I found out he had taken his life just a couple of weeks prior. It had been a few years since I did a little hunting on him, and at that time, I found out he had committed 2nd degree sex offense just a few months before I dated him (this was 10 years ago when we dated).  I had to follow up, and that's when I found out he took his life.

I'm LOLing at you girls and your deodorant shenanigans.

I confess that I'm an a-hole somewhat regularly at school. I know there are probably plenty of people who dislike me because of it, but I just can't make myself care. I judge the fruck out of these kids for being in their final year of college and not being able to do simple math, properly cite a paper or present coherently in front of people. And I'm not afraid to say so. It makes me so angry on so many levels. Interacting with them makes me so pessimistic about the future of our society, and I'm bitter that I have to spend my precious time away from my own children surrounded by these immature brats.

Second year in a row it's been cancelled. I don't care where we go, Li will be dressed as a cow!

It took over a year, but I finally gave up and we now have a changing table in our living room. As in I bought one and have set it up in my living room.

For the longest time I kept changing Alastair on the dining room table.....and cleaning up the changing station every night. I was sick of it and now we have a real station down here. Pretty? No but oh so convenient!

Dude,

I have no changing table-I change Ronin on the floor (I put a receiving blanket down).  If I was changing 2 little ones regularly, though, I'd probably get a table too!

It's been such a long, hard day.  I had to wake up C from his first nap to get to JCP for his portraits (disaster) and he never took a second nap.  Towards the end of the evening, he was beside himself, screaming.  I yelled at him.  Later on, I said "Goddammit Carson, why did you do that!"  In my defense, I am so freakin' tired and I needed a break so bad.  In his defense, he's just a little baby and he doesn't know better

Chunstad, don't beat yourself up. I don't think many moms can honestly say they've never lost their patience and said something they wish they could take back. We're all human. You have a lot on your plate with YH working so much, and being "on" all the time can really wear you down. Do you have family nearby or someone who can watch C while you take a muchdeserved break?

This. Today Gator did her high pitched scream squeal more than enough times and SO yelled "God! Stop Fing doing that! Shut up!"

And today is her birthday. Happy birthday kid.....sorry your dad is lacking patience today.

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that.  No, my parents are about 90 minutes away, we don't see them very often.  I do have some friends, I need to lean on them more, especially when I am feeling like this.  At least it was close to bedtime, and he went right down.

The floor would be fine by me, but for some reason it doesn't work for DH. And then all the crap that collects in the wake of it.....I am not sure why I didnot do this earlier.

We moved Olivia to a nanny share last month and because of this we put a changing station in the living room.  It is fantastic.  I am going to be so so so happy when #2 is here and we don't have to go upstairs to change diapers.  Good for you Nita!
