Come all! Share with us your dirty secrets. : )
Me - Well I've mentioned it before, but I still don't have my wedding video or photos. But I am on a mission! After almost 5 yrs, I am trying to get this resolved this week! Woohoo!
I think I may go out for pizza today... it is the only thing that "sounds" appetizing.

Re: Confession Time!
My blog
uff...Idk that's a bad one! My mom would be totally disappointed if I told her the truth. Do you really wanna tell them the truth NOW though? I mean you kept it a secret for a long time as it is, and it's not like they think you're not married and you are (now).
My confession: I bought an ovulation kit for the first time because AF is being crazy after my d&c. I haven't told dh yet since he's all about "lets just let it happen", which was fine w/A, but I can't not plan things anymore.
I wouldn't come clean. Do they have to know?
My confession- DH and I are really trying to work on our marriage. And we've done a great job so far! Buuuut, I really hate playing tennis. I don't know what it is, but it just grosses me out. It might be my hormones since I'm still BFing. Since I had Matthew, we have attempted it twice.
I think I would skip on telling them...they know your married who needs to tell them about the technicality?
My confession is that I went to my moms to help her with my aunt's 60th bday present. My mom bought her an iPad last week but she wanted to do some other things. So we made Ellen is 60 in rice krispie treats, covered them in chocolate and covered that with peeps (my aunt is peep obsessed like I am) I ate like 4 rice krispie treats and they were awesome!! lol. But really I couldn't stop myself at one? lol
Beth....if you could have stopped yourself at 1 treat you would be my hero. The homemade kind? I can keep eating them!
I am a tad unfocused and bluesy today. Not sure why. Not feeling the love from certain areas of my life. I will get over it.
This... I feel the EXACT same way..
I also feel kind of bad.. I was feeling alot of anger and really hatred for the guys I work with who were jerks last week re:my m/c and then today one of them gave me $100 dollar check for the March of Dimes for Ava. So I feel guilty...
I wouldn't bother mentioning it to them unless it's important to you that they know how long you've been married. If that's the case I'd tell them when they have their grandchild in their arms so that they'd be too distracted by all the baby goodness to notice what you said lol.
My confession is that while I enjoy the fact that the baby is surviving on breast milk alone I am counting down the days until I don't have to pump anymore!
Hmm..let's see. Carley's new morning wake up time is 4 am & I absolutely dread it. She's been waking up soo much throughout the night lately and I feel like a zombie. I can't wait til this "4 month wakeful" crap is over. Hmph!
I don't think that I would tell. Do they really have to know?
My confession: I can't break up with my ob-gyn office. I haven't been happy with them since I got pregnant but was always too scared to make a change because what if the grass wasn't greener at another practice. Since then, I've had 7 recommendations for another all-female practice and I just made an appointment with them. The problem - I haven't told my current ob-gyn yet. I have to get my records sent but I'm a huge chicken. They didn't do anything wrong, I just don't "click" with the doctors there. I am so bad with confrontation ... and even worse with change.
I'm with Mel, a little blue - I have a lot on my mind and am trying to process it all and decide what I want to do.
Also, I'm not ready to TTC again. I really don't want to be pg again right now. I am 6 pounds away from my goal weight, not ready to put it all back on, don't want to be sick and have to worry. Plus DH and I have been dealing with some "issues" and I just feel like I need to straighten things out first.
my confession- I am having a hard time with work/family balance.
I am one step away from a Director's position and the opportunity here is really a good one; I am pushing to get my certification and have been researching Master degree programs. I'm just afraid I will get started on another degree and we would eventually want #2 and then what? Finish school with two little ones and succeed in a career that involves late night meetings and 40 hours.....
I want it all but I feel like I will either be giving up my career goals/dreams or my child(ren) will suffer.
Oh no Hale! There has to be a way! Many women lead successful careers and have their babies too. If this is your goal, I say go for it... it all seems to work itself out.

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you tell them you got married the first timea around? Why the secrecy? Not judging, just curious.
My confession is that I am DREADING the summer break from school. I will have to pull Liev from daycare and keep him home because I won't be getting my stipend and we can't afford daycare without it. I'm terrified. He's a difficult kid and I'm pretty sure one of us is going to end up crazy, and it most likely won't be him!
It's horrible, I know, but I wish I could keep him in daycare at least for part of the day. That would be best for both of us because positively sure I'm gonna go bashit crazy.
What kind of horrible mother thinks like this??? Shame on me, I can't deal with my own toddler.
ETA: I should add that he likes going to daycare and doesn't seem to behave the same there.
i need to start working asap. we're really struggling and it's causing a lot of stress on our relationship... not to mention our bills. and we're dealing with a ton of "issues" as well. when it's good, it's good. when it's bad... it's really, really bad.
and i have no idea where to start working. i have no experience, i got sick, graduated quickly, got pregnant, and haven't worked a "real" job in 3 years, since i was working in PR (well, community relations) for Barnes and Noble.
Jackie, I wish I knew these women. Well, some of you seem to do it better than I do. . . Work/life balance is a huge issue for me as well, and even though I aimed for the "best of both worlds" by working part-time, sometimes it feels like I get the brunt of both worlds. Career stagnation, for sure, and god forbid I'm out more than once a year b/c my kids are sick--then I get told that I'm "always sick" or that my family needs to take better vitamins or that I need to let my kids play in the dirt more to build up their immunities or that my kids must play in the dirt too much and are getting sick from that or ... sigh. Sorry sorry sorry for complaining! It just struck a chord over here.
My confession is that I have a co-worker whom I cannot stand but who I have to pretend to like (somewhat) when we're on joint meetings with client referral sources, and it kills me to sit across from this person and smile. Small of me, I know, but this person really is just . . . ugh. I hate the fakeness of this person, and yet I have to be fake sometimes for business, and I hate that just as much!
Ditto this 100% Hale. I have such a hard time balancing my career and being a mom. The mommy guilt is really bad some times. I also wonder how I will ever manage having to divide the time I DO have to dedicate with Nadia in two for another child (which I know I want). Hang in there- some days it's easier and some days it's harder...
My other confession is that I took a HUGE cadberry egg off off a candy dish sitting in our secretaries office and ate it for desert after lunch... she didn't see me take it but if it was in a candy dish, it was for someone to take right? ;-/
And lastly- I'm starting to really want another baby. Yikes!
I made my family swear not to tell anyone I'm pregnant at least for another month, and I've already told two of my friends. Dh would be pretty pissed if he knew I told
Karu - At this point, I wouldn't tell.
June - I think most parents feel that way. When I taught elementary, I always noticed that most kids would never miss a day of school. Parents would drop them off even if they were sick just to have them in school for a few hours. Of course, some did it so the kids wouldn't miss the work, but I think most did it to have a few hours alone.
My confession kind of goes with the balancing work/home life situation. The baby's not even hear yet and I'm already rethinking my career. But, I think it has more to do with the actual job than balancing work/home right now. I've been in the school system for almost 10 years. The last two years, I was at an elementary school that I LOVED. I LOVED everything about it - the kids, the admin, the parents, the teachers. I had semi-administrative roles and really felt like a made a difference schoolwide. I transferred to a middle/high b/c they offered me a position as a reading coach which I see as a stepping stone to administration which is what I really want. But, I'm not as happy here as I was at the previous school. That school was like the school I had always dreamed of. This one is very similar, but it's just so much bigger that I feel that I don't really make a huge impact. I keep telling myself to stick it out for as long as it takes, but sometimes I wonder if I should just go back to the other school and just teach. I worked 10 times harder there, but I was that much happier. At the same time, though, I don't know how satisfied I would be if I went back to teaching without giving administration a real shot.
LOL That was my plan with DS but I chickened out! LOL
I'm so sorry. ((HUGS))
oh no
i'm so, so sorry. ((hugs))
