I withhold sex from DH when I get annoyed that he has so many "networking events" in the evenings and I am left alone with Evie. This week I was alone every night and it's exhausting. I bribed him into skipping last nights with sex.
I never thought I'd be a woman who "hits the wall" with pregnancy because I've enjoyed it and it's such an amazing thing and all... but now my doc and I are having twice-a-week appointmets to sweep my membranes to see if we can get.this.baby.out. I am DONE. I feel kinda guilty about it.
I also want to cry every time I hear of another woman who isn't as far along that has delivered a healthy, term baby. Waaaaah.

Don't feel guilty. We have all been there. The end is so hard and uncomfortable and you just want to hold your baby in your arms and have your organs move back to the appropriate places. I did cry with our HR directors wife delivered her healthy boy a week before me and she was due 2 weeks after me. I had to go home from work I was so upset (CRAZY) You'll make it I promise and you will forgot how much it stunk at the end.
I am tired of feeling like sh**. Now that the nausea has gone away a *little* bit, and I am almost 21 weeks pg with twins, the soreness/tiredness/achiness, etc is here in full force. I can't catch a break, which I guess is to be expected, but it is also frustrating. I am tired of going to work day in and day out and putting on my happy face and acting like im just fine. I am not much of a complainer, but today I want to scream "how do you think I effing feel?" when the next person asks.
I got a donut from DD this morning for breakfast and made sure to pay with cash so that my dh wouldn't see. I sometimes buy things on a credit card so that he doesn't see what I've spent and where. Not that he cares, but I still do it.
I am secretly very jealous of all the one on one time that our nanny spends with Nick. I'm not sure I could deal with being home full time, but I'm afraid he is going to like her better than me.
we live in an awesome, developing neighborhood near downtown Indy that is very concerned with allowing only higher-end, classy business establishments set up shop in the area. They HOA has done a fantastic job thus far and we have some great local businesses that are thriving. However, now a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins is likely going to be moving into the hood, and will have a drive-through. I think I am supposed to be unhappy about these developments but I am THRILLED.
I am so burned out from taking care of 2 kids basically alone the last 3 weeks while DH was working 12 hour shifts with only 3 days off. I told him I was feeling like a single parent. and I only feel a little guilty about it.
DS is becoming such a whiny demanding and at times mouthy kid i'm ready to send him to boot camp I just don't know what else to do! Plus he's becoming more and more aggressive with DD (2 booboos in 2 days from her "brobro"!) I just want to run away from home for the day and let DH deal with it all.
And last - I hate letting James play with playdoh because i HATE cleaning it up. We only get out the play doh like once a month if he's lucky.
I don't either. I feel like I can better control the speed of the vehicle than that function. Abe uses it all the time, like while driving down a county road, and I always wish I were driving instead.

We have a McDonald's going in closer to our house than my husband is comfortable with. All I can think about is how nice it will be to have a place to get breakfast when I'm running late for work.
FWIW, it has to meet local building codes, including being all brick and having a small sign, etc.
Sure, it was Hebrew National so it's not all packed with by-products, but still. Gross. Nitrate-city.
But mmmm, I love hot dogs...and we were eating them, so she was too. And that's that.
omg, we gave nick his first hot dog a few weeks ago and he LOVED it. So I bought more, good ones, but still. Not sure how I feel about it every time I make one, but if he hasn't eaten well that day, I know he'll eat the whole thing.
My husband would hate you on the freeway. He claims his biggest pet peeve in life (not just traffic-related) is when people don't use cruise control. He's so weird.

sounds like my dad. although he did talk me into using it on one of my trips to MI and i will have to say it helped a bit on my gas mileage
confession: I.AM.SO.OVER.THE.JOB.TODAY! I've been stuck in this office for 2 whole days with out any relief (we have 3 operators total and I've been the only one here). I didn't get a lunch and only 2 quick trips to the bathroom. I think I should get a week off w/pay without having to use my PTO time for covering my co-irkers' a$$e$.

I'm so with him on this one. Maintain a consistent speed. There is nothing I hate more when on the highway and you have to constantly play the dance with someone that is going around the same speed, but keeps slowing down/speeding up.
My confession - I hid out in the bathroom 2 flights down today because my coworkers are irritating me. I sat in the stall and played on my phone for like 20 mins. Then I took a 1.5 hour lunch @ the FARM with DH. Much needed.
I feed Emma whatever she wants so sometimes she eats crackers (lately she just wants saltines) for breakfast because she can't possibly wait for me to cook something (despite it only taking 10 minutes).
At least once a week we eat cinnamon rolls or pop tarts for breakfast. She eats hot dogs/corn dogs all the time. The kid loves pizza and I love her for it because I love it too and could eat it every day!
She is going through terrible twos really strong and throws things, hits and kicks, and sometimes all I can think is that I must be a horrible mom because I have no patience and sometimes feel like all I do is yell at her.
I guess I'll stop for now. I'm starting to make myself feel even more guilty!
Jac - my husband also uses cruise control ALL the time. It drives me nuts. Like, the road is 35mph and there is a stop light a mile away. Cruise control.
For the anti-cruise-control-haters - I totally drive the exact same speed the entire time I'm on a highway. I know, I know, eye rolling and thinking "that's not possible". I swear, it's possible, I'm always hyper-aware of my speed. I also watch behind me in my mirrors, like, more than anyone else I've ever met, so I can safely say no one's ever been like, "beyotch, use your cruise" (and I'll speed up to get around someone if there's an impatient person around me, whereas my husband and his cruise will just stick at his speed and take 5 minutes to go around).
That said... another confession: When I'm bored at work, I'll go on VRBO.com, look at the most exotic places (hi South Pacific islands, I'm talking to you) and dream up vacations that I'll probably never take.
I was looking forward to going in work today bc Jalen is driving me CRAZY! He has been very needy with me and is into EVERYTHING! I needed a break. :-)
Brenda, I'm so the same as you on the highway. 95% of the time I'm driving faster than the flow of traffic and if there is someone going faster than me, I will gladly get the eff into the slow lane so they can make their way down the road. Nothing drives me more crazy than some idiot going 2 mph faster than the car or semi they're passing, taking ten minutes to get around and in front of the semi. Makes me bananas. Just punch the gas and get the eff around em! Anyway!
And Abe is the same as Larry. I want to disable cruise control in our vehicles. I just don't understand why on Earth it's necessary in most cases.
A girl that I graduated h/s posted something about her pregnancy on facebook. I commented on it and then a bunch of others posted. She said since everyone from our graduating class is pregnant and due soon we should get together. It just really stung.

I think our DHs need to be besties. Michael calls people who don't use cruise control "fluctuators" and it drives him nuts. He gets especially peeved when we're caravaning and he's behind me.

Re: Pulled from other boards....Confession Friday

Alright, I feel better already.
I think L's 2nd b-day will be Yo Gabba Gabba over Sesame St because it seems much more fun to do.
I'm snacking on icing.
