Wow, where did this week go? And what was with the weather -- yikes it was HOT a few days this week.
Welcome Fall, I've missed you 
Now confess and give me some good reading for the day!

Re: Friday Flame Free Confessions
1. I'm totally jealous of my DH right now. He's going to Morovia over the weekend because the Pope is leading Mass in a town there on the 27th.
2. I almost set my alarm to go off at 9 PM last night so I could watch the Grey's premiere. I didn't though. Now I want to go home so I can watch it. 4:30 can't come fast enough!
3. Sometimes the ladies on the 1st Tri board annoy the crap out of me.
Unable to even.

I've gained back about 15 pounds of the weight I lost and am having a really hard time motivating myself to get back on the straight and narrow.
I am so freaking sick of my SIL and her complaining. She should be incredibly grateful that she is able to have a baby when many women cannot.
Although after a year I still pretty much like a lot about my job, it is boring me to tears and I am sorry I chose to work for a non-secular organization.
This one is really dumb, but I am annoyed I had to come on this stupid work retreat and a) miss Grey's last night and b) miss perfect BD timing with DH. All for something that was pretty much a waste of my time anyway.
Audrey and Ryan both had big blowouts this morning. I got Ryan changed just fine because DH was here to distract Audrey. But then DH left.
Let's just say Audrey peed all over the living room floor and Ryan, in his last pair of clean pants, sat in it. His pants are now in the dryer and he's wearing them to daycare anyway today but everything else is in the washer already.
My daycare situation change is just eating me up inside. Somtimes I want to cry and somtimes I just don't know what to do. Then DH reminded me that one of his friends daughter was just diagonsed with Lukemia and that at least we have a healthy child.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad DH's grandma is leaving this weekend. She has been here visiting from Hawaii since before Jackson was born and her plan was to stay until SIL gave birth (2 weeks ago). Although she is very helpful & sweet, she is very opinionated and thinks I am already creating a monster by holding Jackson too much.
The straw that broke the camels back was on Tuesday, she tried to give SIL's 2 WEEK OLD BABY a pepperoni stick to eat......seriously! When SIL said, "WHAT THE HE** ARE YOU DOING?" She replied, "Just a taste for the baby...."
Bon Voyage Grandma!
1. I realized at 9pm last night that I wore my shirt inside out all day.
2. I am so over SIL staying with us. I know we are trying to help her, but I cant do this much longer. I am slowly losing my mind.
3. I really want to poas but its too early. Next week cant come fast enough. And even tho it might not be the best timing, I am going to be really sad if its negative. DH and I are so ready for a baby, even if the rest of our life is chaos.
4. I convinced DH to get Frost doughnuts the other day. They were awesome. I really recommend the vanilla glazed one. mmmm.
I am in complete denial that I'm going to have a baby in about a month or so. Complete and utter denial. Although I guess I have started making lists of things I *should* do to get ready. I just haven't started doing any of it.
I really wish my mom could come out and kick my ass and get our house all ready for this baby. But I feel like a loser asking her to do that.
For the first time since I've been supervisor, I let someone go this week. I keep trying to think of ways that it could be my fault, like I'm somehow responsible but I really did give this person every chance. I feel bad but some people dig their own graves I guess.
Anyway, I bit myself in the a** with it becuase now I'm short 1/3 of my staff. Fan-fraking-tastic. Good thing I got a double tall breve this morning.
That was really more of a whine that a confession.
I got home last week after wearing a really cute new skirt all day at work only to realize that the price tag was still attached and had been hanging out.
lol, that's hilarious, although probably to not you
I'm glad I'm not the only one who still has "mommy brain."
I'm right there with you... I make lists every weekend and some stuff gets done, but the nursery closet is still full of other stuff and we haven't moved the bed out yet. (still waiting on the crib to arrive too) I count out the weekends till the baby comes (since that is the only time anything gets done) and am scared at how few are left knowing how much there still is much to get done.
I'm worrying cause I don't feel we have much clothes / essentials for the baby. Just a few onesies and sleepers. We do have the carseat so that is one thing off the list. I think this may be a busy weekend for the credit card. My shower is Saturday and DH is gone on Sunday so I have a massage scheduled and will probably go shopping before and after ...
lol, when Ryan was born, they put him immedietely on my belly and had me help wipe him off. While I knew I was PG, and I knew I was having a baby, it was surreal. I saw him and thought "WOW, there is a real live baby on me" It hit me, that it was really happening. so I know EXACTLY what you mean!
I pretended to be sound asleep last night so DH would get up with Jules.
Her birthday party is in a week and I have procrastinated on so many things that I'm going to be busy busy Sunday making cupcakes and food. Sunday is DH's birthday and we are supposed to go do something fun.
I haven't bought DH a birthday present. What he wants I need to order online so it won't be here for his actual day.
My Blog
I'm trying really hard not to see pregnancy symptoms in the somewhat unusual issues I started having in the last couple days (tired, gassy, sore breasts). I'm usually so realistic/pessimistic that I really never even think I could be pg. This time it's different since we had help and all stars were aligned. haha :-) Anyway, I refuse to POAS early (I'm so not a tester). I'll be at 14dpIUI while in Seaside, so we'll test there, if there's no sign of AF.
DH's friend lost his mom recently and we just found out that the memorial is tomorrow morning. We're going, but a selfish part of me was hoping it was going to be the following weekend, so we had an excuse why we couldn't make it. I did send a sympathy card, so that should count for something. We have plans to paint our bedroom and get DH a haircut tomorrow. Looks like we'll be rearranging that.
Since I'm from Chicago, I wear both Seahawks and Bears stuff to the game, when they play each other. I get a chuckle out of irritating the Hawks fans. Last year, I was wearing my Bears visor, with a Hawks jersey, and a guy yelled: "Get that herpes off your head!" haha Classy!

I just had surgery yesterday (gall bladder removed) & was told to rest for the neek week & no picking things up over 15 pounds. Not even 12 hrs after it I am already struggling giving up my Mommy duties!
Cooper was cranky last night whilst DH was feeding him & DH got fed up and said "Right off to bed now then for you" when I butted in & said "Just talk to him babe, or sing to him" he started to but Coop got cranky again so he passed him over to me so I could give him a kiss goodnight and as soon as I started talking to him & playing iwth him he started smiling & finished his bottle for me! It made me feel good but I know it made DH sad,
It is VERY hard to sit & listen to your baby cry & relinguish all my duties. Hope the recovery is quic!k!!!
We are having dinner with my MIL on Tue and I haven't seen her since April. I'd really rather poke my eyes out with wooden spoons then spend any time with her. FML.
I'm having a little meltdown over Isabelle turning one. Exactly two weeks from today I will have a "toddler".
I hope things went smoothly and that you'll be recovered quickly!! That has to be hard to let go of mommy duties, but I also hope you're feeling better soon, too.

I confess I have never seen: Grey's, Lost or The Office. Feel free to shun me.
I'm a bad kid. It's my parent's 27th anniversary today and I didn't make them a card or get them a gift yet. My mom lost her job in June so they can really use (and totally deserve) something nice.
One of the girls who works for me is complaining about having cramps today. I get it, cramps suck. But I'm not bitching and I'm pretty sure my m/c cramps can kick your period cramps ass.
I also confess that my hormones are either making me a crying baby or a raving b!tch. Today I am in raving b!tch mode and I kinda like it.
(ETA: Bump, you can say bitching but not b!tch??)

Yeah. The ladies that came over from BOTB and GP aren't nearly as clueless.
I appreciate that pregnancy messes with your hormones and can make people irrational sometimes, but holy hell, I didn't think that pregnancy made you just plain dumb.

Aw, that is really sweet! Thank you! I hope you are doing ok; I've been thinking about paging you lately, but I don't want to intrude. I'm so sorry that you are going thru this and I really hope you can kinda get back on track soon (if that is your plan).
Oh, and I'm with you on Grey's. I've never watched it, either.

I've had a fantastic week so I have nothing to confess other than I'm super stoked to have had a fabulous week. Saw my Dr for my back, my lawyer is starting my lawsuit, I got an Ipod for my bday today and today I'm getting a massage and going out to dinner with DH.
Oh here we go, like Jill I still can't fathom that any time now a baby could be in my arms.
I think everyone deserves some cookies or brownies

Co-irker is currently bitching about how awful her trip to Mexico was recently because people were rude...and she's been to Hawaii twice this year also. I want to punch her in the face and tell her to stop acting like a spoiled brat.
Last night I walked the dogs by myself cuz DH is super sick and I kinda liked the alone time. It was nice to be quiet and get some fresh air and exercise and just think.
I feel like I'm way behind on the nursery. Everyone on the 2nd tri board has pics of themselves in their completed nursery...I have an empty crib and a dresser...that's it. Not even a mattress in the crib. I should probably get moving.
We are putting our kitty to sleep next weekend because his bad days are outnumbering his good days (he's been sick for awhile) and it's time.
I cry when I think about or look at him....but when he's howling in the middle of the night or throwing up again, part of me thinks it will be a little bit of a relief.
And I feel super guilty about that.
I had to do this 2 years ago and I still cry about it. Just know that what you're doing is the best for the kitty. It sounds like his quality of life isn't there, any more. The vet explained to me that my cat would likely have died of a cardiac arrest, which would mean she'd be scared and in pain. Sometimes, taking them in is the kindest thing you can do. Hugs!!! :-(

I put J in his bouncy seat so I could fix some lunch. I looked over just now and saw he had kicked himself way down in it, so his shoulders were in the seat and his legs were hanging over the edge, about to kick himself out.
That is not my confession. My confession is, that before I fixed him, I took a picture:?
I'm so sorry IG. ::Hugs::

I'm sorry IG -- it's so hard when pets get older. (((HUGS)))
I'm so, so sorry IG. I know how hard that is. We thought earlier this week that Stella wouldn't make it through the next few months and I seriously cried all night and all day till we got better news. Sending you my thoughts and prayers. You're doing what's best for him by limiting his pain and suffering. :::HUGS:::
At least you have a crib
We don't have a crib yet, the queen bed is still in that room. The dresser and closet are still full of "other stuff" (non-baby related...) There is nothing on the walls...
I do not like sharing the road with bikes. I think that bikes make traffic problems and should have to be in bike lanes or else not on the road at all unless they can keep up with traffic. And it really frosts me when they blow through stop signs or lights, or go straight from a right turn only lane. If you want to share the road you have to obey the rules. I'm so scared I'm going to hit someone and kill them because they are idiots but then I'll have to live with it forever.
