  • What the hey????  Man, I do not want to think about it being friday already....And (while I have actually studied all week w/o bumping, I did sneak a peak at todays madness) hasnt there been enough drama already w/o tossing the gasoline that is FFFC into the burning pit of the nest??  (I have been cooped up with nothing but texts and allie for a week, its liberating to use dramatic words)
  • Dang it, now I want to... I was so pissed at DH for ongoing idiotry that I took my wedding rings off this am when I was cleaning up after him-again- and have yet to put them back on... I know, passive aggressive much.

    Yeah, and by the time I'm awake, the last confession was post hours ago and I'm one of the last to post. And I only post SFL!

    you are still hours away from friday!

  • My lame as* confession: we are NOT ttc -using protection, and  I day late and i freak out! Poas today: 2 lines! My confession is that I'm feeling hella selfish and sorry for myself instead of being excited about it. I'll pass, i think I'm just in shock.  I feel horrible even writing that...bad mommy

     Oh and I gave ds a girl scout cookie...mmm

  • Just cause I want to play?

    ?

    sfl?

  • Christ, this is early even for the East Coasters. 

    *rubs sleep out of eyes*

  • I'll play:

    The story about the nestie who left her baby in the car reminded me of something. I was at the gas station one day (when DS was about a month) and I pumped, then pulled up into a close parking spot to run in and pay. I locked the door and ran in. As I stood in line, a lady walked in and said loudly "People who leave their baby in the car shouldn't be allowed to have children." I was embarassed (even though I had the car in my line of sight) and paid and ran out of there. I have NEVER done that again. I felt stupid.

    And my silly one....

    I ate almost a gallon of mint chocolate chip icecream yesterday (substituting  it for actual meals) I didn't want DH to know what a piggie I had been so I bought another carton before he got home.

  • oh, but here's the difference b/w my story and hers. I'm not claiming to be rich or go to church or to have forgotten him. I figured I would just be a minute...now I just use my credit card at the pump!
  • I caught Lily's stomach bug yesterday and spent the afternoon throwing up. ?Although my DH was there, he might have well not been.

    This is the first time I have asked him to stay home from work and he was a huge disappointment as a father and husband. ?

    Congrats! Is this your BFP announcement?

    Mine: I totally judged dh as a father..the way we're not supposed to on here. DD scratched herself in her ear and she had dried blood all in there and he didn't notice. She has long hair, so maybe he didn't see, but I was pissed.

    Also, I believe the nestie who left her kid in her car and feel sorry for her.

    A revolt! OK...well...

    DD and I split a Popeye's Chicken Strip Combo.  She even had some of my Hi-C fruit punch.  I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right...

  • Or crib could probably somehow be rigged to be safer, but since it's second hand and I'm paranoid, I spent 2  weeks talking DH into a new one.

     

    I'm glad DH worked today *soesn't normally* he is on my nerves lately

  • One of the HUGE problems I have with religious people (not religion) is their inability to follow their religion unless it's convenient for him. 

    Lets take Lent for instance.  Sure it might be HARD to give up chocolate.  You may really want some chocolate when you only have 15 days to go until Easter, but that's the point.  The point is SACRIFICE.  If you say to yourself, well I haven't had chocolate for 25 days and that's good enough so now I can have a little chocolate, you are totally negating the point.  The point is 40 days, no chocolate, or no diet coke, no cookies, no tv.  You are supposed to give up what you want the most and understand the weight of that sacrifice.

     And while we are on the subject. WTF is with the deep fried fish on Friday.  Trust me...that's no sacrifice either.

    I used to give crap up for lent. I didn't cheat.  Then again, I actually understood why I was doing it. 

  • Although I would give anything to stay home with DD if I had the choice, which I don't by any degree of sacrifice short of letting the house go into foreclosure, I truly thinks she benefits from daycare.

    It's really beginning to piss me off when people say "what do you do with her during the day?" and I say "daycare," and they get this sympathetic look on their face and say "is there any way you could stay home?" No, dumba$$, there's not. And then I'm compelled to explain that I really love her daycare, she's really happy there, she loves to play with the other babies especially her BFF Abby, blah blah blah. And they give me this look like I'm just trying to make myself feel better. Vomit.

    CONGRATS! Don't worry - - I'd freak out too and probably cry first.

  • I love DD, I love spending time with her BUT I am not cut out to be a stay at home mom. ?I never want to be a SAHM. ?Currently I work 4 days a week which is good. ?DH and I plan on having 3 kids but even with 3 I think I will want to keep my job and just hire more help. ?I love having a family but I need my me-time which these days is generally at the office.

  • I think that pimping out pictures of your kid, or your belly or whatever, on the internet, to win a contest is strange.

    Do you really need the validation that is seemingly provided by such contests? Validation that your child is the cutest?? Or that your belly pic won the most votes??

    I don't get it.

    I can understand the cutest kid pics, but NOT the belly pics when you have a kid in the 6-12 month category.  WTF?

    I feel the same way. And I don't think this is flameworthy at all!! Different strokes for different folks. I <3 my job, and what it provides me.  It really helps me stay sane!! I have so much respect for SAHM's. I could never do it.

  • We found out the sex yesterday, but since I have NO idea if my SIL's are lurkers, I can't announce it until we tell everyone tomorrow at Rylee's birthday party....

    DH would be pissed, but I called my sister last night to tell her... I just HAD to talk about it!  

     

    And I am excited and sad that my daughter is ONE tomorrow... ONE.  Holy crap!

    I agree, even though I love nbjenni. ?You didn't see me pimping out my kid on here when DD was in a contest.
  • we did CIO with Brock beginning last weekend. It was the best decision we made as far as his sleeping goes. since Sunday he has been sleeping through the night... granted it was probably a modified version of CIO...but everytime i would go in to soothe him he would quit crying instantly and smile...he's a sly little boy :) So im not at all against CIO (the modified version)...under the right circumstances.

    Congrats!! It is very scary when you first find out- but the shock will pass soon :)

  • I think I have kind of a good one today.

    I "know" a nestie on this board. But she doesn't know that. I've never met her IRL but I recognized a pic of her DH once that she posted - I used to date someone in his family, and I knew him and the family quite well. However, I'll never say who because I post a lot of personal stuff about my family/DH that I do not want my ex to know about. Sorry Nestie Who Must Not Be Named!

    I always read her posts though obvs. Does that make me a stalker??

  • I am pissed that I should be ovulating the week before my "fun" OB/Gyn yearly appointment.  I am a C-Sec momma that was hoping to get the OK to start TTC sooner for multiple reasons.

    Because of the timing, even if I get the OK (new OB/Gyn), I will still have to wait a month.

    I actually agree with this.  I gave up sweets/dessert and it has been difficult, but to me that's the point.  My DH is driving me nuts  because he said he was giving up the same thing and then it changed to "just sweets after dinner" and then to "ice cream"  which would have been fine if that's what he had decided on in the beginning, but it wasn't.  I haven't said anything to him really as it is between him and God, but I'd like him to start setting a better example for Mikey.

     Kind of a similar situation.  I recognized a nestie who posts here from her bio pic (and the fact that she listed her location as my hometown) at the grocery store the other day.  I felt so weird looking at her because I know she didn't know who the hell I was. And no way I was introducing myself as stalkerish nestie!

    It's a small, small nestie world...
