Flame Free Friday Confessions anyone?
I'm upset with my BF's Mom as we called her four times this week to go over and show her the u/s we got done on Monday and she has not been available and hasn't called us back to make plans.

Re: FFFC
We have the grand opening for our brick and mortar store tomorrow (sneak peek tonight) and I am dreading going. I feel like crap and can't keep anything down... I hope seeing some of my friends helps me want to be there...I'm sure it will.
I'm ready to drop kick a friend of mine. She considers every interaction with everyone a "how does this benefit me" situation and it drives me nuts. I really just want to tell her the world doesn't revolve around her and to stop throwing fits about it.
We have had friends living with us for the last 2 months while they finish renovating their house. I am ready to have my house back. They are messy and have a little yippy dog that pees and poops in my house!
The mom is going out of town this weekend and the dad thinks we will babysit their little boy all weekend while he works on the house....WRONG! We already do a lot for you, time to find someone else.
Whew, I feel better now
I do love them dearly just ready to have our lives back.
I was an hour late for work today.
Last night I watched Disney channel until 1 am.
I hate it when people say they are going to find out the baby's "gender." It's sex, not gender.

MH and I did the baby dance....
...and then I got preggers!
LOL! If I didn't know you, I'd flame YOU! haha!!
I like this idea of FFFC!!!
I can't wait for my FIL and 2 nephews to leave tomorrow. They've been here all week. My DH, who is a wonderful DH to me, does everything his dad wants. For example he never goes on a bike ride with me, but the first time his dad asked, guess where they did.. bike ride. I might be a little jealous but he admires his dad way too much, but I think my FIL is a looser: non-educated, poor, depressed. Now my DH is trying to convince his dad who current lives in NY of buying a house here in FL. I want him away from my life.
My cousin is getting married in Lake Tahoe this summer, and I don't want to go. I'll have to bring the toddler because we won't have child care and DH has to stay home and work, and it will end up being two full days of traveling with him while 16w pregnant, and then messed up schedules and time changes and lots of bad. We'd get back Monday and then leave Friday for a week vacation, and we'll actually be out of town the weekend before, too.
I feel bad about it because I do want to see my family, and my parents offered to pay for my flight, but it seems like so goddamn much work. I need to call my mom back about some travel stuff and I'm putting it off because I don't want to commit yet.
I am slightly irked about my birthday weekend. A few months ago MH asked if I wanted to take a weekend trip or get a laptop for my birthday. I said I would rather take a trip (it was a surprise at that point;he was planning it all). Now that I am pregnant, I think I would rather have the laptop. We will spend the weekend in San Diego which will be nice but exhausting. We are going to a baseball game which will probably run late, then be up the next day to go to Sea World. Just thinking about it wears me out!
And at some point last night the cats managed to get the tablecloth off our table-along with a bag of chips and various other items. I hear them playing in the bag of chips now and have no inclination to pick any of it up.
Can you explain what the difference is and why one is wrong and the other isn't? I'm not being snarky, I'm honestly curious.
I'm nervous as hell. Everyday I analyze every little thing that is going on with my body. The spotting that is still happening, if I am as sick as the days before or not, every little cramp I have. I wish I could just settle down and enjoy this pregnancy more. I am really looking forward to my appointment on tuesday for some reassurance. I mostly am looking forward to the second trimester.
No, that really isn't flameful. The more flameful part is that I told DH we are only having 2 kids maximum. I hate the worry and the stress that I am putting myself through. It will all be worth it in the end, but in the meantime it is absolutely killer.
Oh, flameful part 2: I could give a rip about the royal wedding. I'm so glad its over now.

Sex is biologically determined (chromosomes, parts), gender is socially constructed (what it means in a culture to be a boy or a girl, or boyish or girlish).
I wish the dress code at my work was more strict. I have a coworker who wears leggings as pants almost every day and they are way too small....camel toe is not professional!

I will probably get flamed for this and I promise I'm not as insensitive as this sounds but I am sick of reading about people's beta levels and seeing PIP posts of people's u/s pictures when all it is is an indiscriminate blob.
I know its exciting to see it for the first time as a parent and I know that people are more just venting/wanting to get reassurance (in regards to the beta posts) but I will be glad when we are out of 1st tri and the posts can be something different. I swear every other post on this board is about 1 of the 2. Honestly, I blame it on being in 1st tri which is pretty boring in general.
I hate it when people bomb Facebook with their inspirational quotes each and every day, all day long. I have one "friend" (former co-worker) who does this and she's a fukking nuisance. A lot of her messages are religious, but most of them are just quotes she thinks are inspirational. The irony is that her life is in the toilet because she's made so many bad choices. "Shine your true colors and be proud of the person God created!" Then like an hour later she will post "FML. My boss is a jerk and I can't wait to quit this job!" Lather, rinse, repeat. She's also played out every relationship drama she's had the past few years on Facebook. She's 40 years old, not a teenager.
She keeps attributing quotes to the wrong person. I finally snopes'd her on one of them, and she deleted my comment. I think it's time to un-friend her.
We lost a twin this week, and in the car on the way home from our OB appt, DH said he doesn't even consider it a twin pregnancy and now we can focus on making some decisions for our new house (closing in May and remodeling before we move in). I didn't even get a few minutes to mourn and my feelings were hurt. Ugh. Men.
Normally, DH is extraordinarily considerate. I know he is excited about sharing with family & focused on the new house, since it's only two weeks away, but really I just don't want anybody to know. I don't think I'll be ready to accept their congratulations with a cheerful pregnancy "glow" -and- their unwelcome advice might warrant another response entirely.

I totally love this post!
I seriously seriously seriously work with a LOAD of effing idiots!
And the level of bitchiness is UNREAL.
Most of the people that work here were hired based on...nepotism.
1 of the ladies screwed her way to the top and is using that prick to rain on everyone's parade. 2 other ladies practice their emotional skills regularly to get what they want, and then snicker about the people they can't get their way with. And my ultimate favorite is this girl with an attitude bigger than her ass and nose combined (she's half "Arabic" - isn't that the language not the ethnicity?.) She's so self-righteous, demanding, arrogant and self-loathing. There's so much annimosity in our building, that I'm SCARED to even let anyone know/see me pregnant for fear of the evil things they might say/do.
Why can't I just work with normal hard working people?! AAAHHHHHH!!!!
Whew! Thank you for letting me vent.
There was a girl on TTGP that was always snarky to me and a lot of other people regardless of what I posted. I'm all for snark when its funny and relevant but she reminded me of a 13 year old girl who makes fun of everyone else in hopes someone will laugh at her wit.
I'm secretly a little happy that I "beat" her.
I had a b!tch session to my boss today about my coworker. My boss has been out on maternity leave (comes back monday) and I have been at my breaking point the last few days. My coworker is extremely moody, and mean. She always thinks she is the busiest person in the world and there is no way I could possibly be busy, etc. Then knowing the stress I've been under the last week while working on a special project (as well as getting things ready for month end, and covering for my boss) she decided at the last minute to take both thurs & fri off work to "pack" for her vacation next week. Leaving me alone to cover all 3 positions, finish my side project and do all the month end work (I'm an accountant).
So my boss (who happens to be a close friend) got a venting phone call this afternoon when I reached my breaking point. I feel bad for venting about her to our boss but the last 6 weeks have been hell for me at work.
Can't wait for my boss to come back to work Monday! Yay!
