Re: Friday Confessions
James told me he doesn't want me to buy him anything for our anniversary or his birthday (Nov. 4th). I normally would buy him something anyway, but not this time. I am selfishly feeling like I do SO MUCH giving all the time that if he says he doesn't want gifts now, I shouldn't feel guilty about not doing it.
I told this to James and he agreed, but I still feel guilty...but I'm still not buying him anything.
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
That's my birthday, too! Yay, Scorpios!
My confession - I snore. Loudly, according to DH. I don't feel bad about it, though, because DH is a sleep talker. He has full-on one-sided conversations some nights.

I'm a Scorpio as well (Nov. 17). I don't think I was supposed to marry one, but oh well.

LOL! I seriously thought I was about to read that you put b/m in your coffee
That's what I thought too!
At least co-irkers won't steal your creamer!
I was scheduled to work tonight (3-close). Dh has to work late, when I called to say i couldn't be in until 5:30, a coworked offered to work my shift I jumped on it! I am beginning to hate going into work, even though It's only 2 nights a week. I then remembered my Mom is off today, and could have watched M, but I am fine not going in, so I didn't mention it.
Tonight is DH's grandfather and cousin's birthday party. I'm bummed about having to go. First of all, it's at 6pm on a Friday night and I am exhausted from a long week. Second, my little one is exhausted from a long week and will likely want to be asleep about an hour after we get there. Third, his cousin is older than I am and her parents are throwing the party. It's not even a milestone birthday (for either of them). And finally, we haven't told them about the pregnancy and I really don't feel like making an announcement. If DH wants to tell them, so be it. Otherwise, they can all just think I'm fat.
Normally, I would pick-up a present and a card for each of them but not this time. DH hasn't gotten them anything but if we show up empty handed, I won't feel bad at all. And if Kaylin wants to leave at 7pm and cake hasn't been served yet, I'm asking for my piece to go and getting out of there
Hi all! I'm new here
Both to the area and the board...
Anywho, my confession is that I am SO happy to be pregnant because that means I only work 40hours a week... meaning the next two weeks while my whole office is working 12's, I'll be working my normal 6am-3pm, and don't have to work weekends.
I think its serendipitous! And i'll be taking it to my full advantage!

I am taking a half day because a) It's Friday and I want to go home and snuggle back in my bed with my pups and b) we have a mgmt trainee in my group today and I can't stand her. I'm nice to her all the time, but I just don't have the energy today.
I'm gonna go home, turn on the slow cooker and take a nap!
Some days I almost think it would be easier to be a single mom than to be disappointed by DH.
Last night we chose to get together with some people DH works with. He knows he has school work to do, but decided to make an exception. DD decided last night was not the night to sleep and was up frequently. I asked him this morning (as he is still laying in bed) why is it that your sleep is more important than mine??? Why?
It always seems like someone has to pay and it always ends up being me. He went back to school recently and is now using school as a way to grasp for straws to find an excuse. I don't get how he can think its fair as to when he can pick and choose when school work is important and, as he says 'need my sleep' Grrrrr..... So I guess I will be the one to walk around with bags under my eyes.
So really my confession is that I secretly wish that DH didn't go back to school because I am so tired of the excuses and cop-outs as to why not to.
I remember feeling that same way at times. If he wants to go back to school, it should be him that is taking on the extra work, right? It doesn't mean he gets to shift more onto you in order to clear his calendar for school. I finally told DH he needed to either take on more responsibility, or accept the fact that I would be hiring a housecleaner and spending more money on convenience foods/items. We ended up doing a little of both and are SO much happier now. Plus, I've been wanting to hire back my housecleaner for a long time

1. I am thinking of getting my IUD removed. I feel like I have been spotting, or bleeding, for 4 months and it is really getting on my nerves. I am terrified of getting pregnant again, but we went 8 years w/o getting PG on condoms, so I shouldn't worry, right?!
2. I am sick and tired of having to go to IL functions, all by myself because DH works weekends. Before the baby, I could just pull the "if you're not going, neither am I routine." But because "it takes a village" and everyone is uber in love with my little man, I feel obligated. It is just not the way I want to spend my Sunday, going to DH's grandma's birthday party. I am a bad DIL.
3. I love turkey bacon, and because it is only 1 point/slice, I put it in AS.MANY.THINGS.AS.HUMANLY.POSSIBLE!!!
4. I keep wanting to get sick so that I would have an excuse to stay in bed, under the covers, and be waited on by DH.

I hate Clomid. It makes me cranky, hot and have a headache constantly.
I take Fridays off through the end of the year to spend with DC but I took her to day care today so I could get in a nap and get my hands/toes done.
November 4th is a good day - it's also my anniversary
I've done nothing but play on the computer for the last two days at work.
I am a terribly parallel parker and I would rather park several blocks away and walk than have to do it.
My heart hurts these days being around all my pregnant friends and family.
Sometimes when I talk with my co-workers about weekend plans, I make things up so it seems like DH and I are out doing stuff. We do get out and hang out with friends and whatnot frequently, but not as much as my co-workers and I don't want to feel lame. The truth is we're just homebodies and honestly, I look forward to relaxing at home on the weekends. Our weeks are busy enough.
1. I was eating a hostess frosted donut while replying to the weight loss post - humm wonder what my problem is.
2. My house is a total mess.
3. Last night while gavin was screaming for 2 hours I got so mad b/c I was exhausted and couldn't help him, that I yelled "whats your problem? go to sleep!" - gasp. bad mommy award.
*~*~ I feel so much better, now i'll go eat another donut and start my weekend off right ~*~*
Me, too! We fry it up in a pan and it almost tastes like real bacon to me. So delicious!
Round two - I actually did start crying when I watched the video of the Greenwood fire. WTF is wrong with me? It's a restaurant and a coffee shop, FFS.
I also want to leave work and go down there to help with the cleanup. And I want to donate money for rebuilding.
I'm blaming PMS hormones. Yeah, that's the ticket. PMS hormones.

I do this too!!! And sometimes, I cry back at him. Care to share the award??

I'm at home sick today, and kind of glad about it. I haven't had a cold in over two years and this one seems minor so far, but I took the day off anyway to snuggle with my pup and watch Lifetime made for TV movies all day without DH giving me the side eye for my TV choices
And one minor vent since it just happened: one of my student loan holders called me to verify my new address but a) told me it was in regards to an application I filed in Aug 2006; b) that the loan was about to go into repayment (um, I graduated from law school 2.5 years ago and have been making payments since 2007); c) that I should sign up for auto-pay to avoid late fees (yes, all of my loans ALREADY ARE on auto-pay). So a) wrong loan; b) already paying, idiot; c) yup, got it covered. If you're going to call and remind me that I do, indeed, owe a sh!t-ton of money, please get your facts straight first...otherwise you'll both sadden AND annoy me.
I am in Greenwood too, and I am so, so sad for the loss of Pho Tic Toc. That family works really hard and the business is all they had. I hope they were well insured. I cried this morning too. And I will donate money altho I don't have much myself. There have been so many arsons here lately. Why the hate on Greenwood?
1)Work is super busy right now (in 4 days I've put in 52 hrs.) and 2 of my male co-workers keep trying to get me off the hook so I can go home a little early, saying things like "you're pregnant, you shouldn't have to be here, we'll stay!" I stay and do my part anyway of course, but I secretly love that they're so understanding and try to be accommodating, even if my boss isn't.
2) I can't stop eating sugar...candy, donuts, cookies, cakes, cupcakes, muffins, you name I eat it lately.
3) I did a prenatal yoga dvd last night and I couldn't decide whether to be embarrassed or flattered when DH's was making comments about how he was "loving the view." I'm still not sure about my pregnant body but DH tells me he loves it. I'm very confused right now.
4)I kind of resent an old friend who recently was able to quit her job to be a SAHW...especially when she posted pictures of the brand new McMansion she and her DH just bought in Austin. I feel like Violet from Willy Wonka "But Daddy I want a big new house!!!!"
Anytime...
LOL I do the cry back thing to my son Lucas who just cries to get a reaction I swear and it's a really annoying death scream. So I say "wah" back to him and he thinks it's funny, but stops.
YES! I was so emotional when I stopped BF!
1 - Even though we were supposed to be TTA this cycle I'm still super sad that AF is on her way. It has almost been a year since we started TTC, and I still don't have a baby. I will be throwing myself a pity party this weekend when AF shows up for real.
2 - Whenever I go into a bathroom where the shower curtain is closed I have to peek in to make sure there isn't someone hiding in the shower. I even do this in my own home when I know I'm the only person there.
3 - I just want to eat chocolate today. I am having a bagel, but I'd much rather have a Kit Kat for breakfast!
4 - TJ has the day off of work today and I'm bitter about it. He's been working a lot of OT so he deserves it, but, I wish he would have had yesterday off so he could have hung around with me on my day off.

It's a GIRL! Lydia Marie!
Only sometimes? I do that everyday... and then sometimes by lunch I realize I never put my make-up on at all
Hahaha, often the days I don't do this are days I go without makeup too.
When I was pg with ds, I went thru some serious body issues. I have always been really thin, to the point that I wanted to gain weight. Its hard to have your body change so much. My DH also loved the pg body, and it made me feel better, but its hard to feel attractive when you feel huge all the time. Are you taking belly pics? It helped me to do this b/c what I saw in the pics was not what I imagined that I looked like and helped me feel more confident. There is no time in your life when you will be more "womanly", if that makes sense, so embrace it! You are beautiful!
