It's Friday! FFC time
Ready, go!
Here's mine: Every single day this week I have gotten my gym bag ready and set my alarm to go to the gym before work and I didn't go once. I didn't take a lesson from the previous 4 days of the week that I dediced to either sleep in or go in to work early, and still went through the trouble of actualy trying to convince myself I'd go, but no luck.

Re: It's Friday! FFC time
I like pop songs. Specifically Katy Perry and Britney Spears pop songs.
*hangs head in shame*
I have recently discovered that Holden will watch *any* cartoon and be entertained. So when we're having a long day and hes crying "Cars! Cars! Cars!" at me over and over, and I will turn on an episode of Daria so we can both be entertained.
The other day, in a rare moment of non-pukey-ness I decided the best thing possible for me to eat was the 2 day old bag of target popcorn that was sitting on the kitchen counter.. it was SO good! (you can decide what the confession is here, the fact that I had 2 day old popcorn sitting on the kitchen counter, or the fact that I ate it.)
Walter's favorite show used to be Futurama. He would ask for "Bender" every night before bed. We had to cut that out when he started to repeat the lines DH laughed at, at school the next day
I'm feeling a little feisty today so I have a few.
Maeve's birthday party decorations are still up. We are away this weekend and and I have no clue when we'll take them down. I predict they'll be up another 2 weeks.
I hate when people ask "Should I be mad?" Really? You need to ask if you should be mad?
I don't like those stick figure family car stickers.
I think my Mommy Blog gene is broken. I tried, but I can't stand Baby Rabies or Heir to Blair. They both seriously bug me.
I have been lurking/posting on the baby names board and updating my future baby name list .. even though we probably aren't even close to TTC #2. I had no desire to TTC until the last 2 weeks, now all of a sudden I have started getting slightly jealous when I see pregnant women out and here BFP stories ..
I really wish I would have an oops BFP (although we haven't prevented since Hudson was born anyways ..) even though I know it'd be better for us to wait 6-12 months to TTC #2.
This will be us, Futurama is our favorite show! Was Walter asking people to bite his shiny metal ass by chance?
1) I'm annoyed when parents talk through their kids to people. Especially when there's no reason to not speak to the other person. Including the baby in the conversation is one thing, but being a wierdo and only talking through the child is annoying.
2) I'm socially awkward. I blurt out things that make sense in my head relevant to conversations, but people probably wonder where the things I say come from.
3) I can't make decisions lately. Deciding what to have for dinner, where to stop for gas, what to watch on tv. It's driving dh nuts.
last Friday, I didn't have to be anywhere until 10:30am. After the kids were gone, I climbed back in bed to chill out. I fell asleep and woke up AT 10:30! Luckily I only had to help out a customer at a store by my house, and time was not important, so I made up some excuse why I was 15 minutes late.
I don't like them either.
I still have my Christmas wreath on the front door.
At Luke's soccer practice last night the girls and I played at the park for awhile. It got chilly, and since it wasn't worth it to drive home at the point, we hung out in the van and watched a Kai-lan video. Only problem, I forgot to actually start the van, I just turned it on. So, an hour later and I had a dead battery. Oops.
If I don't feel like cooking dinner, I tell my husband we are going to have spaghetti and he will then offer to pick up pizza instead. (When I was in the first tri with Thea, and so sick, we had spaghetti practically every night, so he is tired of it.)
I have been sick for a month now and so freaking over it., first dealing with the whole iron infusion thing (still feel wiped out too), then Audrey was sick, then I had the never ending headache, lost my voice/sore throat, and now 3 or 4 weeks into it, my throat is STILL sore and I need someone to drill a hole in my sinuses.
confession: my dr prescribed antibiotics 2.5 months ago for a sinus infections "just in case" and I started tking them today. tony got all up in arms about it, but I feel like crap. crap. crappity crap.
The kids are having nightmares (last night Gabe dreamt he 'ate Audrey's bracelet" and I freaked and made tony search the house for it, though I know Gabe would never choke down a wooden bead bracelet) and Im up 4-5 times a night, beginning at 10pm....
My DH refuses to wear his Cpap, says its not working right, and he cant breath, yet refuses to back to the dr and follow up. So every night, when he is snoring like a train in my ear and I kick him, and say 'put your cpap on" he throws a tantrum and last night muttered I was a being a b*tch, sometimes he'll pitch a fit and sleep on the couch. get over it. I get that you are embarrassed to follow up with the drs b/c yourve gained not lost weight and you are on the verge of being pre-diabetic... but dude, you come home, eat 3 servings of dinner (wont eat cold cuts for lunch, so I make extras for lunch for him, but he eats tham at night, then goes out to lunch every day) sit on the couch and then graze for snacks when I go to bed.
Im just fed up! oh, and just incorporated my consulting company this week, branching out form solo practice to hiring employees (and leaving the group i was with that was dysfunctional..) so Im a little high strung right now...
ok, more vent than confession.
oh, and I dont want to be a grown up and have the conversation with my colleague about leaving the group (and having 1-2 staff follow me) I just want to duck, cover and run...
but I know better than that.
I just suck at any perceived confrontation
We have not had a showing in almost 2 weeks - so we have not "cleaned" the house in almost 2 weeks.
G has started saying "thank you" after every diaper change. At first it was cute - but now it kinda wigs me out.
I am only jealous of SAHM's on sunny days. Today is the first day of many I'm afraid...
My newest addiction is Popchips and I can easily eat the entire bag.
My inlaws are coming next weekend, MIL did not have a hotel reservation because I know she is hoping we will let them stay with us. But that is not happening.
I don't like the word Enjoy.
I've spent the entire week with pre teens and I am going crazy. I'm deciding between NOT having anymore kids and having one more. Currently we have a 5 year old at the house and she is an only child and driving me insane. Not to say all only child kids are this way but it's really made me think.
I've totally ruined my eating habits this week, my mother thinks she is a healthy eater and she's not even close. It was tough for me because she keeps eating bad things and even if I only eat a tiny bit I still feel horrible.
I'm really glad I left Western Wa when I did, I've had sunshine every day for a week. My mood is 100% improved.
I'm tired of people asking if there is anything else we need or offering us items that we don't want and don't have room for. I swear I have enough baby clothes to last at least the first year. I do not want nor have room for a bassinet. The crib is 2 feet from my bed and he will be fine just sleeping in that. I know they are just trying to help but when its everyday it drives me bonkers.
Daria is back on the air? I used to watch that in the 90's, right after Beavis & Butthead. Maybe my confession should be that I really liked watching Beavis & Butthead. :-)
Lots of hugs!! You are going through so much! My DH wears a CPAP and is really anal about it. He's had it since before I knew him, but I've heard the horror stories about his snoring before the CPAP. I'm sorry you are having to deal with that, and he is acting like you're the one with a problem. My DH has been overeating for most of my pregnancy, for some reason. I've read him the riot act, cried, nagged, explained it rationally, etc. It's not really working. I think they have to make the decision for themselves. I honestly don't know what it takes to make them see the light, either. My DH had a cardiac muscle spasm (initially thought to be a heart attack) that landed him in the ER right after Thanksgiving. He now has a cardiologist and was told to change his lifestyle. That lasted about 3-4 days. :-( Hugs, girlie!

I was blocked on FB (not just defriended, I am not sure if were were ever actually FB friends or not...cant remember) by someone who has many mutual friends. I wouldnt have known but this person has replied to common friends posts and then that person replied to them by name, but the post doesnt show up, so I was confused, and tried to look that person up, low and behold, nothin! I am not sure what I did to warrant being blocked...
I am going to PF Changs for dinner tonight and planning on eating the biggest bowl of fried rice I can possibly have
DH is in Seattle for the M's home opener, I was supposed to go too but his friend gave away his extra ticket to someone else. I am way more bummed about it than I thought I would be,,, I dont even like baseball.

I work across the street from Safeco field. Today is the Ms home opener. I am bolting from this place at 3pm and going shopping.
I have another one. I try to avoid the taboo topics of politics and religion in general conversation as well as on Facebook but my ability to surpress my feelings with all the ignorance going on around me today is diminishing. I either need to hide out all weekend so I don't snap on someone for making a high and mighty comment that is completely baselss, or I will go off and it won't be pretty.
and also I pretended to be asleep last night when DH crawled into bed and snuggled up to me trying to get some action. He got frusterated and rolled over in a huff and I smiled and went back to sleep.
He can come to bed at a decent hour if he wants sumthin sumthin from me.
I totally do this. Don't come to bed an hour after I go and expect me to be waiting.
My MIL is driving me BSC with her car seat links. She's offered to buy us our car seat (generous - I know) BUT she's uber broke (retired in December, financially disasterous decision) and she's trying to find a cheap option. We've narrowed it down to 2 seats and mainly just have to figure out which option will FIT in our car (I drive a '95 Corolla, back seat space is limited esp. for rear facing combination seats we're looking at...but I digress)
I LOVE that she's offered but it's turning into loads of work for me at a time that's super inconvinient. And while I should be thrilled she's actually interested and a wee bit excited, I'm tired of talking to her about it.
There's more - but it's a vent, not a FFFC.
I am totally jealous of my friends who have their parents help out with their children whether it be regular babysitting or one off's for date nights.
My parents minded Coop for the 1st time in 9months and when we got home it was a "Oh we didn't realise you'd be so late" comment which made DH & I feel so bad! (We left at 3pm & got home at 9:00pm!) Considering that my Mom looks after my neice at minimum one day a week - I thought they'd be happy to help out. I guess not. Looks like it will be another 9 months before we ask them again.
I wish it was 7 so I could put M to sleep for the night. This sinus infection is kicking my asz
I'm sick of being sick. I swear I am a walking sick machine
I am not into politics, but I get this. And, I try not to get into religious discussions b/c I do feel strongly about it, but usually not the typical "norm." I do get really tired of political FB statuses and would like to hide them, but not hide everything from those people. I wish you could put in keywords and have stuff hidden based on those. That'd be cool!

Can you ask her to just give you whatever $$$ she feels comfortable giving and then let you decide on the carseat? Then you don't "compromise" what you really want.
I'm going to have DH propose that to her - I'm on shaky ground with her as it is and she's likely to be offended by anything I say. She's been especially proud of finding "deals" on carseats so that's part of the issue...I just need to be happy she doesn't still bring up what a "stupid" idea having this baby is in the first place...sigh.
