I was so excited to TTC and so excited to get pregnant, and now that I am I am not really excited at all. It might have something to do with the fact that I am so morning sick like I've never been sick before. I am so sick and unbelievably miserable already and the thought of waiting until July to have this baby makes me want to vomit again this morning. If I knew I would be like this, I def. would have waited until DD was like 10 to have another one. I feel like an awful, terrible, horrific person for feeling like this, and I know I will be beyond thrilled when the baby gets here, but for now I can't take another day of throwing up and nausea and trying to take care of the baby on top of it.
I had a rather graphic seksy-time dream about an ex the other night. While I'm definitely glad we didn't end up together (he had quite the messed up family, the first time I met his mom - the day she got out of prison - the first words out of her mouth were "Oh, I want her to have your babies!" I was 19.) the dream itself wasn't terrible.
I really don't get why people care so much about what other people like, ie entertainement, etc. So some people like Twilight a whole heck of a lot, good for them. I don't care. I read the books, didn't really like them, saw the first movie, really didn't like it, but if you liked it, good for you. Entertainment is subjective people. Deep down I know all my entertainment choices are the absolute best , but if yours differ, well, that's you.
I have friends who do the Creative Memories thing and I am sick of them posting about it on FB.
Maybe I just don't get it.
Don't knock it until you've tried it:) Just kidding! I made my 1st scrapbook and it was out of guilt. I lost DD's baby book so I did this instead. It's fun doing one for a special occasion, but I couldn't get into it as a hobby though.
DD has picked up "shiit" somewhere DH was swearing out that she was saying it on occasion, but I would argue that she was saying "sit." Well, there was no mistaking it last Friday night going to the hockey game. While in traffic, EVERY time a horn honked in traffic, she would exclaim "shiit!" Guess I'm going to need to ignore until it goes away & be aware of what I'm actually saying while driving!

LOL I would have to agree w/ your DD....I would say shiit too if people kept honking their horns in traffic. LMAO.
we haven't bought a movie, music or software d/l in years.... yet we have tons of them. Hmmm. Plausible deniability is my plan!
And although E's doctor recommended just 2 baths a week for his excema, it has now been about 7 full days... he is just so red and cracked all over his feet, back, butt and fingers, I dread the process... So I just wipe him down. His hair is gross, though.
I scheduled a toddler playdate during the exact same time/day my niece's cheer competition is because I can't stand snotty cheerleaders and snobby cheerleader moms.
Sometimes I think that my MIL is jealous of me or envious... I'm not sure what to call it. She's always questioning why I do things or how I know how to do things... like why I iron C and DH's button-down shirts or how I know how to bake and cook or why I go through all the work to eat a pomegranate. LOL. But it's almost like she's trying to place doubt in my mind as to why I do these things because she doesn't do them and she doesn't want to feel inferior. And this makes me very happy because I think she's a lazy woman (for many other reasons than mentioned above) and I can't stand her.

I read somewhere that a small amount of bleach in the water can help with excema. The study they did had such good results they stopped the research so the kids who were not using the bleach could get relief.

Maybe I just don't get it.
All I'm saying is please don't base your opinion solely on Creative Memories. CM definitely has its own style, and well, it's definitely NMS. But there's a whole lot more out there.
But I do admit that there's a fair amount of lame-ness to my hobby, but I love it anyway. And I never subject anyone to it unless they ask. (i.e., I never say "here, look at my albums.") My scrapbooking is for me, and that's it.

interesting... I think I need to do some research about this....I feel so bad for him. thanks
This isn't flameful, more pathetic I guess. I don't think I'm a very good parent. I know DD is doing great, she's a smart little girl, and yes, I'm partially responsible for that. But I can't shake this feeling that I'm not a good enough parent. On top of that, my parents always say things about the way we parent, the way we dress her (too few layers, etc.), the way she eats (how dare she not use a fork and a spoon and not drink out of a cup at 14 months!) It seems like there's always something. And when they do say these things, it quite frankly gets to me and I feel like an even crappier parent, because well, I'm doing so many things wrong. I need to stop letting it get to me, because I know they aren't going to stop with their crap. I need to realize that I'm a good mom and just smile and nod at their "suggestions", but I don't know how. Sigh.
I was dismayed by the UO posted yesterday regarding alcohol consumption. Specifically, a number of you can't fathom that some people are able to have a healthy relationship with alcohol. And that's it's perfectly OK to have that healthy relationship (i.e. enjoy a nice glass of wine, like to meet friends out for food and drinks, offer beer and wine at a toddler birthday party).
I am truly sorry for the tragedies that may have spurred the opinion, but to call normal alcohol consumption 'disgusting' seems a little....extremist. I am disgusted by people who hurt children and small furry creatures, not someone having a glass of wine at a family gathering.

i can see both sides of the coin. and when lori expanded on her opinion, i found myself agreeing with her whereas before i was scratching my head. but i also agree with you. There is a middle ground. unfortunately there will always be those that always cross the line of acceptable behavior and usage.

I am a horrible person.
i am feeling the exact same way. my 1st pregnancy was so easy (until i went into labor at 27 weeks, but still). this one has been miserable so far.
I lost the baby weight quickly with both babies. I have a high metabolism. People are always telling me how its unfair that I lost the weight fast etc. etc. They will say things like "Ughh, you just had a baby! You're so thin, biitch." Umm, excuse me? Why do I have to be insulted b/c I happened to get back to my pre-preg size more quickly than that person probably did. It hurts my feelings. I don't rub it in anyone's face and I don't want rude comments. Everyone is different as are everyone's bodies.
PS- This is not an AW on my weight. I do have stretch marks!!
I FFd DD when she was 15 months. We were on a road trip and she was losing her gourd, and it has made such a difference. I told myself I'd flip her back at home, but .....
People who drink wine while pregnant are weird. Beer is the way to go, people! Drink a Guiness!
I scheduled a toddler playdate during the exact same time/day my niece's cheer competition is because I can't stand snotty cheerleaders and snobby cheerleader moms.
lol of course they are. but i dont think they are for "omg! my xmas pic this year!" but more for "just bc we do it every year and the pics turn out hilarious"

how does one go about doing this?
YouTube has some nifty videos. You will need an external hardrive (pick one up at Walmart for a few bucks - I have a 1TB one) and wireless internet.
I think people talk a lot more shiit on here than they actually do in real life.
