This is gross and tmi. The other night DH got sick in the guest bathroom and clogged the toilet really bad. Before we went to bed he got sick again in our bathroom and I really had to pee. He didn't show signs of moving anytime soon so I turned the shower on, undressed, got in, and peed in the shower.

i want to cut some very close family members off. i don't know that i can do it, b/c it's just not me, but i truly want to. they are evil and crazy and i truly don't want them to have any influence on my child as he grows up. i know they're family, and they love him, and hopefully will have less impact on him since they're out of town, but at the same time i can't cope with the idea of him seeing their behavior and ever thinking it's acceptable. i feel so selfish ever saying i'd want to eliminate anyone from our life.... but i just think it might be necessary at this point. the safety and healthy upbringing of my child trumps everything else.

I've become really numb to a lot of things since my loss in November. I know I'm supposed to feel really bad for the people in Haiti, but I dont feel like I have that same compassion I used to, and I dont like feeling this way. I know I'm the only one in this world that has ever experienced this grief, and other people have had much worse things happen to them in life. I just dont know how to shake it off. I think I'm going seek out some help. I'm not really depressed I think i just need to talk to someone.
You have every right to those feelings. You are suffering your own loss & need to work through them. Take care of you & your baby right now. Leave Haiti to the rest of the world to worry about. ((((hugs))))
DH and I have been going through kind of a rough time lately. I am making him go to counseling. He doesn't want to go, he says our problems aren't "that serious". But I haven't been happy for a couple weeks now and that is serious enough for counseling to me.
Also, I am going to start going to church again with DD this Sunday. I asked DH to go with me but of course he said no, church is not for him. Now I am embarrassed because I am going to be an obviously pregnant mother going by myself. I just hate to think people will be judging me.

any church community that doesn't welcome you w/open arms isn't worth going to. it misses the entire principle of a faith community. it isn't anyone's job to judge, and i imagine most everyone will just be delighted you've returned, w/or w/out dh. they will be happy to see a mother who wants to raise her child in a religious setting.

We just did this a few days ago. After my trip to California and the many car sick episodes I can't take it anymore. It isn't safe for DD to be getting sick everytime she is in the car.

There is one person in particular that I feel this way about in DH's family. I hate thinking this way too.
I finally have my confession now...
I really don't like being around SIL especially now that she is engaged to her fiance. She has totally changed herself and is basically hiding her true colors from him. I think that over time and probably very soon, she is not going to be able to hold it in any longer and she is going to explode. It's not going to be pretty either. I don't want my DD or myself around her because she basically worships DD and ignores her own kids. She is always saying how she is going to have a special wall for DD's pictures over her kids and basically puts her first over them. I love that she is so great with DD and loves her so much. She is great with everyone else's kids but hers. It's really wierd and really bothers me. She is my daughter and you have your own kids.
Since we've been taking a break from vaccines (long story..she'll eventually catch up, flame me for that if you want, I don't care), I only take K to the doctor when she's sick. We've skipped the past few "well baby" visits. I'm thinking maybe I should take her in, but she sees specialists often enough that I think they'd notice if she was off/behind in some way.
Today is my 5 year wedding anniversary, and I really want dh to do some sort of gesture- flowers or something. The problem is I've never cared about this before. We've always just done cards. So, I feel like I'm setting myself up to be let down, but dh has no idea- he thinks I don't want anything. Ah, well. We have a date night tonight, so that will be enough!
pfft, you'll have to ask her. she's not talking to me.
and fwiw, i really am waiting for flames on the FF thing. isn't it like forbidden round these parts?
Yes, but you are a saint compared to some of us. I turned Brooke around 13 months.
15 months here ... so you're definitely a better mommy than I.
lol, so not a saint. maybe it would be more flameful (not a word) if i admitted that when we did it, i actually said to DH, what will the nest think of us?
We haven't been all that great about going to church lately...at all. A priest just came into my hospital room to offer me communion. We started talking and I discovered that he lives just a block away from me. Not only that, but he says mass at my church about one Sunday a month. I have never seen him before in my life...oooops. He told me he looks forward to seeing me around town and in mass... =/ I have been wanting to get back into going to chuch...guess this is my kick to do it! LOL!
Okay, again, not a great confession, but it sure was embarrassing!
there is a woman I know whose company laid off 1000 people a few months ago. they just announced another 1000 are getting let go today. I hope she gets it. Now this sounds really bad but it isn' going to ruin their family. Her husband makes a very good salary and they have lots of "things" plus she is an accountant so she'd find something right away even just for the season.
I hope this meanness on her because she is OBNOXIOUS and flaunts their money so much. I normally really don't care how people spend their money but she kills me witht the snottiness. Comments include how no one else we know can afford the schools their kids go to, how she'll only shop at a certain store and about their new "waterfront" vacation home. Etc etc etc.
She spent 10k on 4 tickets to the gold medal mens hockey game next month and mentions it at any opportunity.
So really it is just bring her down a notch and make her a little more appreciative of what she's got.
DS has RSV. DH and I have been alternating staying home with him all week. Today and tomorrow are my days. I really wish I were going to work instead. He's miserable and I'm losing patience.
I'm sure my pregnancy hormones aren't helping the matter.....I'm already almost in tears and DH just left to run an errand and doesn't leave for work for another couple of hours.

Already cut off: My mother, brother, DH's mom.
Would love to cut off my dad. I love him but he will probably pass away before the kids are old enough for him to affect them in a nagative way.

these are the kind of people you hope are secretly in debt up to their eyeballs.
The kids got Leap Frog Fridge Phonics for Christmas and I arranged them A-Z on the refrigerator. I got soooooo mad end b/c I (thought) that I got two "N's and no "Z." YESTERDAY (3 weeks later), I finally realized that one of my "N's" was sideways and was actually a Z. I can't believe it took me so long to figure this out...I am a moron sometimes!

HAHAHAHA. OMG, that is soo me...
My FFC is that while I love my DS more than anything, I don't like him lately. He has been so challenging. Where is my sweet little boy? He is testing me on everything, biting me all the time, ruining everything in his path and he still doesn't want anything but purees. This is the hardest part so far and I know it only gets harder. I just don't know what to do with him sometimes....

Shame on them if they do.

well, I changed Mikey two weeks before 19 months, so I'm a worse mother than you
Penny, when are you planning on vacating your mother's uterus? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Ditto, 15 months here. I think you are fine
I don't really see how it's anyones business. I turned DD around at 15 months.
You horrible mother!! J/K We turned DD around at 14 months, so I am a worse mother!
