Re: Friday Confessions
I stayed in my pajamas (underwear and t-shirt) all day yesterday and got nothing done! I'm fixin' to do the same today.
The baby isn't sleeping and I'm to dang tired to get dressed!!

I am seriously going to punch the next person who, after talking about my weight loss, says, but you'll gain it back when you get pregnant.
Yes, I will gain weight when I'm pregnant. That's a given. But why does the fact that I will gain weight when pregnant mean I can't/shouldn't lose this weight now and get healthy? I'd much rather lose my 80 pounds now and be happy and healthy during my pregnancy and then tackle the pregnancy weight instead of trying to lose 100+ post-baby.
People really irk me.
1. I'm jealous of Misha for her weight loss accomplishment.
(You're doing great, Misha! Keep it up!)
2. I don't think I'll ever leave the house again without at least some cat hair on me.
3. [TMI warning] I've never shaved, waxed or trimmed my bajingo hair. I don't care if it's 70's porn-style and neither does DH.

Thank you!! And ditto to 2 and 3!
I haven't taken care of my lady business since my last PG appointment @ 39 weeks!

I can barely get my legs shaved on a weekly basis never mind the girly parts being kept up...
DH wanted some this morning and I was not interested, but in the interest of being "more present" was fine with it... just not into it and actually asked him "you done yet?"
opbiviously got nothing out of it for me....
my house is a mess and I am online while babies sleep... i really need to get my ass in gear this morning but have no motivation
I should go back to WW and follow it... it works great, when I actually log my points.
I am jealous of people with one baby... I love m twinkies to pieces, but miss having consistent 1-1 time with them, or needing to run in 2 different directions at playdates like yesterday... but still I ADORE them and wouldnt trade them... it just makes it tough (like needing to go to tjs and safeway today and drag a cart behind me as I push them in a BOB double stroller because none of the stores have double seats in their carts... its just plain HARD and tiring some days)
I really wish my husband would be more of a partner with daily household stuff without being told.... he sat and sipped coffee this morning for 30 minutes while reading the costco magazine (?!) while the dishes need to be unloaded and the kids fed... sigh.
I miss coffee
I miss wine
I miss good drugs for bad headaches
I miss having engery in the afternoon
I do love being pregnant again but I still miss those things.
There are quite a few of you who I would love to invite to Norahs birthday party even though we've only met once, or not at all..
But I dont want to come across as "weird" so Im not going to do it..
I go between wanting this baby out NOW and not feeling like I have enough time before my life changes and my priorities. I pray for labor but am not disappointed when i can still get things done.
It's only taken me 38.75 years to realize I apparently CANNOT control everything.
Don't let them do that too you! I hate people who do that, erks me too! I lost 20lb or so before I got PG and it was the best thing I ever did. It made me feel so much better and healthier. And then gaining that baby weight wasn't as hard on my body physically or mentally. You are doing great and don't let anyone shoot you down!!!
Honey you are not weird! It's funny because I would have to say I feel that way sometimes too. Like when planning my shower, I wanted to invite a few more just so I could meet you guys because I am not as able to go to the GTGs. You aren't alone! =]
- For my 36 week appt last week, I knew the doc would be doing an internal, so I wanted to tidy things up down there. ?I can still shave my legs and bikini area by myself, but the actual trimming of the rest of it...... I had to lay on the bed while DH did it for me... with his clippers.
- It's been a loooooong time since DH and I have had sex. ?But I told him that starting Sunday, it will happen every day until I go into labor. ?I'm more than a little nervous.?

This is my work life most days. We have been so slow and now next week my co-worker is gone so I am all alone next week here in my row of cubes. I fell like I post so much even though I am at work.

More of a rant than a confession...
I almost throat punched FIL last night for the following reasons:
-He came over for dinner and complained that we were watching the news coverage of MJ's death (my house, I'll watch what I want!)
-He told me that when women are pregnant its the only time you can call them fat and get away with it
-When I got quesy half way through my dinner and didn't finish told me I HAD to eat it for the baby
-Started lecturing me about breastfeeding and made a comment about how I probably wouldn't try since it "might hurt your carerr"
If this is how he's going to behave for the next several months it is not gonna be pretty. I told him he better NEVER call me fat and I'd eat when and how much I wanted to. I couldn't even talk about breastfeeding with him.
So, I guess my confession is I will probably be a total *** to him if he keeps this *** up.
I think a throatpunch is in your FILs future. And maybe a nad-kicking.
If he says anything about you weight, just zing him back with, "Well, FIL. I can always lose weight. You'll be a jerk forever.".

Omg, I haven't the entire 3rd trimester. Do ppl actually expect you to be able to keep up w/that when you can't even SEE that part of your body w/out the help of a mirror? I gave myself a pedicure the other day, and I was pretty damn proud of myself that it actually came out well, considering I can't even bend my knees up w/out my belly getting in the way... it took me an hour w/all the shifting I had to do. I can't even put pants on w/out bending my leg sideways - does that sound like a person who wants to be worried about her bajingo hair right now???
I haven't been to the dentist in 5 years. And I know that dental problems can be linked to prenatal problems... but b/c I've never had a single dental problem, I always push it to the bottom of my priority list. I religiously go to physicals, my OB/GYN, my dermatologist (I have a skin cancer predisposition), always take DD to her Dr. appts and even took her to the dentist already, and I get on DH's case so bad about not going, he eventually does. But I can't seem to just pick up the phone and make a dentist appt. for myself. So ridiculous... (P.S. if anyone has any good recommendations, since I'm new to the area, I'd really appreciate it.
)
And lastly... I hate being "that girl" that always feels the need to correct ppl's grammar, but I have to quote Ross from "Friends" here for a sec... "'You're means 'you are'... 'your' means 'YOUR!'"
1. i have a life changing secret that i will likely take to my grave ( only one other person knows )
2. i have ate mounds of trail mix every night this week
3. i think my sisters are the prettiest people on earth ( i dont think they realize it ) and i often feel like the black sheep.
4. i was lazy yesterday and didnt try to sit bryn on the toilet to go potty. soooo lazy.
You are not alone. This is me all.the.time. I seriously have to try to hold myself back.
Ditto.
Or "u" for you. It's two more letters, people. Just two.more.letters.

I am tired of waking up at 3-4am for feedings. DD used to be such a good sleeper and it has progressively gotten worse and I do not know what to do about it.
DH is going to an all day bachelor party tomorrow and I'm very jealous since the weekends are his days to take care of dd. I wish I could get a full day off from baby responsibilities and let dh take care of her alone. Most times he calls for help from his parents to come visit or he goes over there. I don't do this since it's my daily job to take care of dd as a sahm.
Yep, this is pretty much my office life, too. But I have coworkers here, as well.
I love my new 30-hr work weeks and I wish this could be my schedule until I quit to stay home with a baby. It's so great to know I'm off at 3 or starting later or whatever. 10 hours made a big difference.

Here is my real confession. I like to read gossip magazines. I am ashamed to admit it but I actually like to read them. I don't believe everything in them.
I hardly ever buy them but a co-worker gave me one to read at work.

I was feeling pretty upset the for the last couple days b/c my dad hadnt RSVPed for Ollie's b-day. We talked on Father's Day, and I told him I had sent it, and to check his email for it. He said he would. My dad has been a non-existant g-pa to Ollie, and I was getting fed up with him.
So, I checked the invite website and saw that the email had bounced, b/c I mispelled the address. I'm lame.
And I'm eating the last peice of pie. hehehe.
Yeah, and I feel so bad, but in my head I keep thinking (though I'd never say it out loud), How... HOW do you not know these things? I think it's safe to assume we are all well beyond the 6th grade now. Or ppl who still mix up "there', 'their', and 'they're', and homonyms like that. But the worst is when ppl use expressions wrongly - it's by accident, not on accident. It's used/supposed to, not use/suppose to. It's should have, not should of. If you aren't 100% sure of how an expression is used and what it means, like, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth," or something like that... don't use it! If you don't know the spelling of a word, use a synonym instead. "It is better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
Ugh, I know that makes me sound like such a B!tch w/ a capital "B"... but it sure felt good to let that out!
Okay this is a really stupid confession but:
I hate my computer. I want to throw it out the window! But alas, we cannot afford another one right now.
I swear to the big Kahuna upstairs that if I have to retype one more post (because my computer deletes it before I have finished) it's going to sleep with the fishies!!
(I even had to retype this one! sheesh)

I have a degree in writing and I correct something (or someone) every single day. I'm called the "grammar Nazi" in my family; I handle proofing of all company materials as part of my job. I try not to let it get to me in online boards, IMs, and texts. I would still love to have a giant red pen that I can use to correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, in every avenue.
PS- I love all references from Friends! :-)

What?! Nobody would think you were weird. Anyone invited to Norah's party would just be in for a great time!
1. I am jealous of my neighbor and DH's cousin who are both due the same month I would have been before my m/c.
2. I am SO torn between being a working mom or a SAHM. I feel like no matter which one I choose, I will have to give up something I love and will always think it would be better doing the opposite.
3. I have hardly any friends that are not "couple friends" because I don't take the time to make girl friends.
4. After my m/c, I kept the Phil & Ted's even though I now won't be reimbursed by insurance for it
5. I'm excited about travelling for business this week ONLY because I want DH to experience taking care of DD without me. After doing it twice myself, I have learned to appreciate him more and at the same time, I have much more confidence in myself. I'm hoping the experience will do the same for him.
Geez... I should save some for next week
Even worse... I am the type that commits this grammar sin, knows it, is bothered by it... but is too lazy to go back and change it! In fact, I just did it this morning... ha! I am terrible
Lol. Well, I think I'm worse by being the type who *has* to go back and edit it, or I won't be able to sleep.
Waaay more pathetic.
But you know what? As much as I pride myself on English and grammar, I couldn't understand Physics to save my life. Damn near failed that class. And the guy who aced my Physics class was badly in need of English tutoring. So it just goes to show, ppl's brains work differently - we're all programmed to be better at some things over others like that.
I slept in the recliner last night with Connor on my chest. Every time I tried to put him in the pnp and go to bed he would wake up. So this AM after feeding him I put him in the swing instead of holding him because I wanted a break and wanted to catch up on emails and bumpin.
Whenever I see people on here have birthday parties for their babies, even if Ive only met them once my first thought is always "why didnt they invite me?" When I have parties or gtgs i invite everyone and their brother, my thought is always the more the merrier so it confuses me when other people arent that way...
