I love Fridays. And no. That is not my confession. Here is my confession...

 

I honestly could not care less who Shoe is or isn't. And yet I am entertained by the endless speculation. I am a walking contradiction. And I actually think that I would prefer that Shoe's true identity never be revealed.

I have another... I am really uncomfortable AWing or PWing here. But I CLEARLY seem to have no such problem doing it on FB.

1.  I hate hate hate one of my closest friends' husband.  I love her, but I find that I don't want to go see her or invite them to anything because he just grates on my nerves.  He has never done anything directly to me (besides "forget" to add me to the only mass text sent out when their baby was born, which resulted in me finding out on facebook) but his posts on fb and the way he treats her just make me not like him.  I should be more accepting because he is her problem, not mine, but I just can't get over it.

2.  I lost my cool with Logan the other day when he hit me and I threw a plate at the wall!  I threw it in the opposite direction of him, and Kellen was asleep but... ugh, it was the worst mommy moment ever.  He is still mad at me for breaking his santa plate    He has just been such a little sh!t lately and I honestly feel like it saved me from hitting him back.

I was supposed to wash dh's uniform before he went to work but I forgot because i was doing my nails so I just threw it in the "rinse" cycle with some fabric softener and then dried them. Hey at least they smelled clean;

I am in the middle of my shift and just took a break to go pick up food because I hadn't eaten much today (not nice on a 10 week old pregnant belly.) Well, I got back to work and checked my bag to find 3 sets of plasticware. Yep. I ordered so much that they thought I was 3 people.

its so hard to keep your cool when they are constantly pushing your buttons.

Try not to be too hard on yourself. Everyone loses their cool once in a while and the action that you did take was an expression of your frustration and probable exhaustion. I bet you can turn it into a learning experience for your son with some honest conversation.

I can honestly say that Logan is lucky to have a mom like you. Ok. so you took it out on a plate. Better a plate then him - anyday of the week. And the fact that you feel terrible about it is really important. I am willing to bet that you have had a long talk with him to help him understand what happened too.

I am scared to go into our basement when I'm home alone. I don't know why I have this irrational fear. Our basement is not scary. Our laundry room is down there so I don't do laundry unless DH is home. I really need to get laundry done today and I'm already having anxiety about going down there while H is at work. Sometimes I take a pocket knife with me just in case. Yes, I'm crazy.

Jlobebe2012

H worked late last night, so it was just D and I until about midnight. D went down around 8, and I shortly followed. I woke up at 11:30 to go pee and realized my front door was not locked. Yea I was home from 5 to 11:30 with our front door unlocked. We live in the city, and that is not safe. I didn't tell H to avoid a safety lecture, but I felt guilty enough. If he would have came home to an open door, it would not have been the first time, and I wouldn't have heard the end of it.

I like the nights hubster works early because I get to sleep with Grant instead of him and I get a much better sleep. He sleeps on the couch because I need Grant close because I still can't carry him anywhere

preggersINschool25

My speech therapist was feeding Grant and she wanted to try some puffs. Now I had puffs but we haven't opened them yet because I wasn't sure he was ready. My husband exclaimed he knew where they were and went to get them. I was surprised because the were in his room with plates and silverware for when he is a better eater.

He returned with a bag of marshmallows. I lost it and started cracking up. He got mad at me for laughing because it made him feel stupid. My confession is I knew he would feel that way, but I didn't care. It was too funny!

 I use sex as a manipulating tool to get DH to do more around the house. I am sure he knows but he never mentions it. It works wonders.

just wanted to say that I love your ecard siggy! But where did your ticker go? That's the only way I know exactly how old Alex is, since they have the same bday!

Up until, oh, about 3 weeks ago, I thought that GBCB stood for GoodbyeCharlie Brown. I have no idea why. 

MrMrsandBaby

I can't understand why it is such a big deal to leave your LO for a night.  If you don't have family or someone to watch LO then ok, that I can see...but I just can't understand why it is so hard for some moms (on this board and IRL)? 

DH and I have been away three nights and honestly, I loved it!  Sleeping until 8:00, not worrying about MOTN wake ups...and Allison had a ball with my parents, she slept better there than she does at home.

If you haven't done it yet...I highly recommend it.

I really have no desire to leave Asher. Plus, I'd have to pump and I hate pumping. I'd rather feed him. I'm sure I'll be ok with it someday but for now, I don't want to be away from him. Maybe that's weird. I don't know.

Not weird at all!  I don't WANT to be away from Allison either, but I have been and it was NBD when all was said and done.  It just baffles me that some people (I have one friend in particular) who makes it seem like it will be the end of the world if she leaves for a night...and I have heard stories of people not being able to do it, having to go home early, etc...I just don't get it.

I agree. I did even when I was nursing.

I have quite a few today:
my kid eats McDonald's nuggets and fries.
I thoroughly enjoy sending cooper to stay the night with my parents. They are the only ones he will be staying the night with for a LONG time.
I will be turning the carseat around at a year. He screams. Nonstop. Every car ride.
I came to this board to escape the cliques of my IRL friends but honestly I find it to be just as bad.
I could care less to ever have sex again. Until August when we start TTC.
Since having Cooper, I despise my job of taking care of other people's children. Especially when I am a daycare director and my own son cannot attend.

Amberrrr

Yesterday I judged.
I was at the store when I saw a mother and her babe.
She asked how old mine was, then I asked how old hers was.
I was surprised when she told me 9 1/2 months, because she had her child in the infant carrier on top of the cart.
Seems really unsafe to me...
Not much of a confession but maybe I can think of something better later.

I'm the same way! And if I *have* to be down there, I get up the stairs faster than ANYONE when I'm done! Lol.

I'm pretty sure I have issues though because the thought of leaving him overnight makes me almost have an anxiety attack. On the other hand, we have friends that leave their baby (who is 3 months younger than our babies) at least one night every weekend with his grandparents. Both parents work fulltime so it's not like they are with him all week. I think that's too much.

If you are offended by the ecard in my siggy you are likely someone I wouldn't like IRL

Yesterday I put my underwear on inside out and didn't notice until well into the afternoon and even thn I didn't bother to change .... In fact I am still in PJ's o they might still eon inside out.

I'm pretty sure the issue revolves around the spanking part, and I think the spanking debate has been covered here before.  Just like everything else in parenthood, there are some people for it, and some people against it.  It's also just one of those issues that people seem very passionate about, and, like politics or religion, it is highly unlikely anyone is changing their mind about it.

Ironically, I don't really care about spanking one way or the other...I love it because I think the participation trophy phenomenon is insane and has run its course.  enough already...not everyone wins.

ETA: And if you don't think it is funny, then clearly you don't have a sense of humor!

ME TOO!! I know I have to go down there today. I need to get this laundry done so I can finish packing for vacation. I'm going to have to work up the courage to just do it!

For me, I feel like I don't get to see him enough with working full time. I really cherish our time together, not to say you don't, and I hate to be away from him when I don't HAVE to. I do work weird hours and sometimes 6 days a week so I might not see him as much as other working moms.

jja0812

Ok I thought of one; thanks MrMrsandBaby!

I will preface this by saying I don't think spanking is going to solve all the world's problems, and it is probably something we will avoid at all costs.

HOWEVER when I hear an anti-spanker say something like, "we plan to calmly sit down and talk about it," or, "I will walk away and come back when I can speak to him calmly," I laugh my butt off at you. Seriously. There will come a time where you cannot remain calm, and I am NOT saying you will spank in that moment, but I kind of hope you have to sit on your hand not to. Just for being so dang sure about your calm self. I really do love you all though and I hope you stick to your guns and don't spank if that's your choice. Smiley face!

Me too. I have found giant spiders in our basement. I hate that our laundry is in the basement.

My confession: I think I'm going to play hooky from work today. I only have to be in for an hour and a half. I haven't seen my husband since before New Year's, and I would much rather spend the day with him. So I'm gonna.

These kind of outfits for little girls are so ugly. If I had a girl, I would never put her in something like this, mainly the pants.

1.  I hate hate hate one of my closest friends' husband.  I love her, but I find that I don't want to go see her or invite them to anything because he just grates on my nerves.  He has never done anything directly to me (besides "forget" to add me to the only mass text sent out when their baby was born, which resulted in me finding out on facebook) but his posts on fb and the way he treats her just make me not like him.  I should be more accepting because he is her problem, not mine, but I just can't get over it.

I could have written this myself! I know exactly how you feel. It is starting to hurt our friendship because I figure the best way to avoid telling him off is to avoid him all together.  This means fewer visits to see her, and her DD 4 months older than mine.

Today is the first day since Monday that my whole body is completely clean.    I usually have great hygiene but this week has been special. 

Monday - showered, washed my hair, brushed my teeth

Tuesday -  PJ day, 'nuff said

Wednesday - woke up late and DH needed to get in the shower because he was working at head quarters.  French shower, brushed teeth.

Thursday - was up all night coughing and finally fell asleep at 5am.  Turned my alarm off and woke up to my husband yelling to try and wake me up at 8am.  I'm a very heavy sleeper.  Showered, brushed my teeth, didn't wash my hair because I was already going to be super late since I'm supposed to be at the office, and not still sleeping, at 8am.

Friday - clean body, clean hair, clean teeth.  Feels great!

Dare I ask what is a french shower?
