Re: FFFC
I had a dream last night that I was pregnant. When I woke up I was so sad, even though we are in no way ready for another and don't even plan on trying for another year and a half to two years.
My DH asked me what I wanted for my birthday coming up (my 30th) and I said all I wanted was 10 hours of straight sleep and a Trophy cupcake. I feel lame, but honestly a super long stretch of sleep sounds heavenly!
I'm so frustrated with some people right now. They insist on telling me how to do things and how not to do things. Yes I know I'm on modified bed rest but the things that you are telling me not to do my OB okayed me to do in moderation. It's not like I'm doing things like lifting heavy things and vacuuming. I'm transferring laundry from the washer to the dryer, I'm doing dishes while sitting down on a stool. DH won't let me do any of the heavy lifting so things like laundry baskets and heavy pots he carries them and/or washes them for me.
I know they are just worried about me and want to keep me and baby healthy it's just very frustrating when they just blatantly come out and say it.
SIL's suck - at least mine do. I really wanted someone I could hang out with and raise my kids with and all I got were these selfish nightmares.
SIL A) My immature, two-faced, BSC, soon-to-be ex-SIL went on one of her rants because their kitty (who has been left w/ their other cat on their own in a new home too long) peed all over her clean laundry and shoes (which is the hilarious part) but was so mad she stuck the cat on their porch. It's not spayed, no tags, no shots (don't get me started on all of that - they are both at fault) and IT"S AN INDOOR CAT. My brother was so mad and went to go get her and she was gone. This is in Capitol Hill, the poor thing is probably not going to make it unless someone finds her. I am not a pet person but that's so irresponsible. How hard would it be for them to just find a new owner if they cannot take care of them properly. Their other kitty needs a home or I am going to go pick it up. Gahhhh!

My other sister in law spends more time working and traveling for work or training for a marathon than she does parenting when you add up the hours she is actually with my nephew when he's awake. I actually added up the hours so I could maybe stop being so judgy on her. But it's more hours he's in daycare, sleeping or with other childcare than with her. This is SOOO not a "working mom's dig" thing - it's just HER and HER priorities - I know they have a number of expense because of school loans and IVF to create this child but I just want to tell her what she is missing. Ironically she's a child development psychologist.
last week, a haircut, scalp massage, an eyebrow wax....$20 bucks out the door. Thank.you.very.much.
Last Saturday after W's 1 year pics with Amy, I put him down for nap and pulled the rest of his smash cake out of the garbage to eat.
It was a new bag from that morning, and was sitting on a cardboard round, so just sitting there, calling my name from under the sink. I enjoyed a huge piece of the part he hadn't smashed with a large glass of milk. Before dh and M got home I put it back in the garbage.
If anyone ever heard my workout music on my Ipod they would think I am crazy. I have dark sounding metal and then pop music on there.
I actually miss listening to the radio since I don't drive to work now. I loved me some Men's room on the way home.
I change into my workout clothes while I am still working so I can get as much time in as possible. I feel weird working and wearing my workout clothes.

Ok. I found something out about my brother's girlfriend fiance whatever she is, from a friend I've known for about 7 years. I'm not super close with this friend but non the less I trust her. I saw the other day that she was friends with his girl on Facebook so I sent her a message asking her how she knew her. She got back to me and said, she's met her at this place she goes to on Friday, then said she was confused because she has been dating her friend Eric.
She then went on about how she's a sloppy drunk, and tells everyone she is trying to get away from her Husband who has been in and out of jail. YES She is still married, supposedly engaged to my brother and dating another man. I am floored. I never liked the girl, and my brother is IN LOVE with her. The other day he posted a status about the weather being like his heart 
and everyone was commenting on it including me and he was just deleting them left and right.
I guess I don't know what to do with the information given to me. My friend said if she sees this girl tomorrow she is going to ask her about my brother, see what she says and then let me know. I'm not super close to my brother, but I feel like he needs to know this. He's just so fragile right now because he is on house arrest due to his 3 DUI's. He can't go anywhere but work until August. But his girls is cheating on him! On the other side, I don't care if he hates me either.
Luke has a soccer tournament this weekend, that we need to leave for this afternoon. I still haven't taken him shopping to get new cleats since he outgrew his from this fall. We measured him the other day - he is 13 and a half and is 5'11"! I wonder if he will peak soon, or just keep going up, up, up?
The girls and I are coming home next week! My mom throws this big fit about how we are staying with her, not my Grandma or my BFF. I haven't been inside my moms house in about 7 years. She is a hoarder. Instead of using our visit to get her house in order, she went and booked a hotel room/suite for us to stay in - with her! - for 2 weeks. And then she complains to me that she is broke. I have a hard time containing my frustration.
I have a love/hate relationship with FB. I like keeping in contact with people, and seeing what's happening with family that lives out of state BUT...I have a couple FB friends that drive me nuts! I've even hidden some of them from my News Feed because I'm tired of "hearing" it.
One friend (a girl I knew in college) always talks about the trips her SO is paying for or this shopping trip, and that shopping trip (that he is paying for). She never posts about anything else. Maybe I'm jealous? I don't know...it just irritates me. We get it, your BF has money.
Another friend (an old neighbor) is ALWAYS complaining/whining about something or putting up cryptic messages like "my mind and heart are not together. I can't get things off my mind." I feel like she does it so people will ask what's wrong, or what's going on. I think she craves attention.
I wonder if some people compiled their FB status for a year and read them, if they would realize how they come across?
I don't know if you subscribe to Groupon or Living Social but I often see deals from house cleaning companies. DH and I used one when our landlord was coming in for a yearly inspection of the house and we didn't have time to do a very good cleaning. Might be a perfect way to get it "up to snuff" without paying an arm and a leg.
Today is my birthday. I looked at the work schedule earlier in the week and it looked like I was going to be able to get cut and not have to work because there were so many people and I was first request. I looked at it again yesterday and someone had already called in sick for the next day and then someone else was randomly taken off the schedule. So I'm going to be picking up my phone in a few minutes to call in sick. I just don't feel like working on my birthday.
I've hidden a couple people too. This guy I went to middle and high school with is going through some weird divorce/custody battle and he is always posting stuff that I personally think should not be said on FB. I hid him. I couldn't handle his drama anymore.
I did buy a cleaning Groupon in November - I've sent DOZENS of emails and left MANY voicemails and they've NEVER CONTACTED ME!! I was so excited to get my house cleaned and finally a week or so ago asked for my money back...
I will try again though! I just need to DO it!
Was it with A Sure Clean by chance?
When I walked in the door and she was standing there, I was shocked. Now I'm in a really bad mood because of it.
I am so horrible.
I would contact groupon and let them know you haven't been able to set up the services you paid for. They will give you a credit for what you paid, and would most likely like to know the issues you are having.
I don't remember for sure - but I think that was it...I can't find it on my Groupon account either - but when I called Groupon to talk to them about it, they'd had LOTS of complaints. Their voicemail basically said "I'm only one person, it might take a day or two to get back to you - please be patient" .... for three months it said that and I never did get a call back at all.
Frustrating...I don't splurge on stuff easily so this was disappointing to say the lease.
We ordered this too (well, my mom did as an early Xmas gift) and then we saw a Get Jesse segment about ASC not returning calls or following up...their reviews on Yelp used to be good and now are horrific. Mom was able to cancel and get a credit, thankfully. We have a gal coming out to do an eval on our house for a cleaning estimate on the 26th, I am thinking we might pay a bit more but at least she's not inundated with clients like any service advertised on Groupon would be. Good luck finding someone good!
There are some people who I know and wonder how on earth they graduated from high school.
A certain acquaintance cannot spell basic words, do math, etc. I'm pretty sure if she went to my high school (or any high school in WA for that matter) she would have failed freshman year. Her facebook status today was how her and her husband (who she has been married to for 8 months) were going to "hav a vowel renewel" on June 8. They were supposed to get married about a year ago but her man didn't show up to the church on their wedding day and their wedding got canceled, he didn't return her calls, changed his number, and then showed up at her mom's house 2 months or so later, said he was sorry and she forgave him. They went to the courthouse that week and got married. Watching her life is like watching Teen Mom live. Oh, and neither of them work, they live with her IL's, and they are TTC and hoping welfare, etc., will pay for everything. I want to slap some sense into her BIG TIME.
EEEEKKKKK! You got the job?!?!?! Yahooooweeee! Congrats Kacie!
For Christmas I only half joked I wanted a night by myself at a Hampton Inn so I could alternate HOT showers and naps.
I have a brunch bridal shower in Vancouver next month and I?m tempted to leave Friday so I can spend the night all alone.
I?d rather spend the money on a house cleaner though. And N and daddy have camping trips planned.
This is an awesome confession!! It reminds me of an episode of SATC where Miranda eats from a cake she had put in the garbage. She calls Carrie and says she needs to check herself into the "Betty Crocker Clinic." :-)
This is awful and heartbreaking!!! She makes a bad decision and the cat pays for it? That has to be really hard for you to know she's doing that and really sad for the cat (both cats, really). I probably wouldn't be able to be quiet about it and would be suggesting they find the cats a new home. I really hope the one they put outside is ok.

I might've said this before, but I really.don't.care if Laurel eats Cheerios that fell on the floor. Maybe I should, but whatever.
That's the best I can come up with for a confession.
I love this confession so much. I'll be honest - I would have done the same thing!
Eli had his 4 year appointment today. I really, really hate the progress sheets they make you fill out before the appointment. You know the ones that ask can your kid do certain developmental milestone things. Eli is sooooo behind on almost everything except gross motor. I mean he rode a bike at two for craps sake, yet he cant say his whole .name or draw a circle or a picture. We were there a month ago for a discussion about the IEP and the schoold districts findings on his development. She gave us referrals for childrens neuro development and providences sensory development. I kinda slacked at following up but after today she stressed we make sure he gets in to them.
I am so sad that there may be something going on with my boy. But I cant ignore or dismiss it any longer, its not doing him any good.
My confession is that DH and I tried to have Stella time, a few days ago, and it was a great big Fail! It was our 2nd Stella time since being pregnant and probably the last, until after pregnancy. After being cleared of previa and pelvic rest, after 17-18 weeks, we tried to get back on the wagon. It wasn't just a pg thing, I don't think. It was kind of a fail for both. I guess it's good there's always solo Stella or foreplay, since I've actually been in the mood during most of the pregnancy.
I'll keep it on the same topic and confess that I've had sex dreams/fantasies several times/wk, during this whole pregnancy. And these are not like "normal" ones for me. They are pretty darn kinky, sometimes. :-) I don't necessarily want to make these happen, but it's pretty intriguing that my mind comes up with this stuff!

I am so sorry Dawn. I was hoping she would have a good report to update at his appt today. I just made w's 12 mo check up and a follow up with his speech eval, I am totally nervous about it. But like you said we need to do what is best for our boys. Keep us posted on how his appt's go, and if you ever need to vent over coffee let me know.
hang in there Dawn --- there are lots of great resources and if you need any guidance there are a few of us familiar (professionally) with the road you are going down... HUGS Mamma....
