I ate 5 pieces of bacon and a bunch of cherry licorice for breakfast... at least I fed DS something healthy!

I plan to buy a Victoria?s Secret bathing suit today to show off my new worked out bod while on a family vacation this weekend.
I am mainly doing it to show off in front of my overweight, snobby, and drama-queen filled SIL who says ?babyweight fat is forever?. Mean, I know, but she deserves it.

I had a meeting with my daughter's guidance counselor and the head of the math department yesterday afternoon. Jordan has had major issues with the teaching styles of her last two math teachers and I went there to make sure that she gets a good teacher next year, because I refuse to have a repeat of this past year. Long story short, they are recommending that based on her grasp of the material that she re-take this class next year...and I totally agree with them.

I talked to her about it last night and she freaked out, is absolutely refusing to do this and won't listen to reason about why it's in her best interest to do so. I'm going to email the guidance counselor and math dept head and request that we have another meeting to see if they can talk some sense into her. If not, I'm going to tell them to go ahead and schedule her to re-take the class anyway. She will be furious and probably not talk to me for a few days, which will kill me, but this is what I have to do as her parent because I think it's what's best.

Ok, that wasn't really a confession, but I needed to get it out because I'm upset about it.

You're such a good mommy.

If I had skinny hot bod I'd do the same. Enjoy.

My sister is considering holding my 15yr old nephew back this year because his performance throughout the entire school year has been complete and total crap. He doesn't study, do homework and is disruptive in class. He's not learning anything and does not deserve at all to be promoted to 11th grade. He does the bare minimum required and at the end of the term asks for extra credit so that he will get a passing grade.

He will be 100% mortified if he has to repeat the 10th grade but he needs to learn that there are consequences for his actions.

Anyway, you are doing the right thing and years from now she will appreciate this, she really will.

I have a better one. DS smooshed peach in his hair this morning. I couldn't get all the juice out, so he's going to his DCC with slightly peachy hair.

DD did this last night and I was too tired to bathe her so I got as much out as I could with a wipie and then brushed it too.

I also don't strap DD to the changing pad...never have...

MrsRichardson915 · May 2009

I bought a box of Peanut Butter Oreo Cakesters yesterday and hid them in the back of the pantry so I don't have to share them with DH! They are delish!!!

DH and I are waiting until September to TTC #2, but last week we had a moment of weakness and had unprotected sex. We talked about trying now and in the heat of the moment went for it! Well, of course the next day we changed our minds and are preventing again. But I am secretly hoping that I am PG. We were waiting until September b/c we're going on a cruise and I wanted to be able to have some drinks and not suffer from morning sickness...etc. But I keep seeing all these teeny-tiny babies and I want one!!!

My kid is usually in her PJs until ater her nap - she usually gets up at 2 or 3.

destea1 · May 2009

I'm so sick of DH working from home 3-4 days a week. I won't tell him he needs to go to the office more because it's a 45 minute drive each way, but it's seriously driving me nuts. We've talked about it but there's no clear resolve, I just like having the house to myself (and DD) during the day w/out interruptions or 'suggestions' on things I "should" be doing.

I'm looking forward to him going on a 3 day trip for work next week so I can do whatever I want at night and not worry about cooking dinners for once!

In a non-related note to me, my best friend (I was his 'best man' at his wedding almost 3 years ago) got totally screwed over by his wife, and is probably splitting. I'm really pissed off, friends with both, but ultimately closer to him and feel so bad. It's tough biting my tongue reading her self-pity facebook updates, when I know quite a bit of the real story behind what's going on (including in her words things he printed out verbatum). I'm just extremely disappointed in her, and heartbroken for him. DH is annoying me further by trying to say they should just work it out, when frankly, I think even i would draw the line at infidelity. I've always told him that...

1. I absolutely want to bail today, but I have to be at work because I have sputum to process. Bleh.

2. I really don't like how DH makes my egg in the morning, but I can't complain because he is being nice in making it. Actually, I'm not a fan of how he makes scrambled eggs in general.

3. I think I am getting into depressed mode again (mildly) but I lack the motivation to do anything about it.

ckolak:-) · May 2009

Ooh I thought of more.

I, too, don't strap DS to the changing table anymore. He's too damnwiggly.

My SIL has some ILs that are at all the family functions that this SIL hosts. I hate them. I cannot think of two people less deserving of children. They didn't want kids at. all. and now have two. The mom *claims* that her doc told her to keep smoking during both pgs because quitting would hurt the baby. She also claims that she had GD real bad with both pg, but with the second one it just sort of cleared up and went away after the first few months. As someone who actually had GD, this infuriates me. I seriously want to throatpunch her. Also, their son is 3 months older than DS and he is seriously the biggest brat EVER. His parents have never enforced "no" and he throws a tantrum every 20-30 minutes whenever I have been around him.

I don't really have one. I start my final major research portion of my degree tonight but would rather just hang out with Jo. Instead I have to swoop over to daycare, take her home where my mom will watch her and drive an hour back to school. I'm beat.

And Seans I think repeating math is a great idea. Even if she hates you for a time. It really is the best thing for her in the long run if she gets a good teacher and can get a better grasp.

Hippinski · May 2009

I just stopped myself from finishing an entire Chipotle by myself. I'm not hungry still. It just tastes so good.

Ok, I have another.

I've posted about this before, but at the beginning of October, I was paid my quarterly bonus. It was based on performance for July, August and September and covered the period of October through December. Two weeks after I got the bonus (and the money was gone), my bosses decided that they didn't want to continue to pay me for a full day for WAH on Mondays. So, they told me I had to repay the bonus and I was given a 10% cut moving forward, since I would be taking care of Ben and not putting in the same hours were I at the office. Fast forward to a month ago and the administrative staff all took a 10% cut because of the economy. So not only is my salary down 20%, but I have had money being taken out of each check since January to re-pay the bonus. I feel like I'm practically working for fucking_peanuts at this point.

Given all this, my attitude and motivation around here are in the toilet and I don't care. So, if I spend a lot of time on here and not working, so what. I'll be here for 11 years next month, have busted my ass and gone above and beyond, time and time and time again...and this is the_bullshit I get. When I was 9 months pregnant, I was working 12 hour days because they kept giving me more projects to do, when all I was trying to do is wrap things up to be out on maternity leave. Ridiculous. When Ben goes to daycare (after his 2nd birthday), I can't wait to look for another job because I have such a bad taste in my mouth with this place.

WTF is wrong with this company? Asking people to take paycuts is the stupidest thing. Eliminate the non-performers and give everyone remaining a raise. And asking you to PAY BACK a bonus? Wrong on so many levels. I am sorry.

I had cheez doodles and coke for lunch. How's that for a lame confession?

Tess12 · May 2009

Oh, I have another one. Ever since I got my anxiety under control, my house has been a lot less clean. I guess the OCD tendencies are a thing of the past.

Is it lame that my mouth watered? I rarely drink soda but every once in awhile I really want one.

No, not lame. Cola is really yummy.
