FFFC

identicaltwins2be · June 2011

Where is everyone these days? It's not very often I can "play" but when I can there doesn't seem to be much going on.

Anyone have any FFFC to share?

identicaltwins2be · June 2011

Sometimes I wish I was still on bedrest so I had an excuse to lay there and do nothing. I know that bedrest is hard, exhausting, boring, etc. but this is FFFC, right

I'm really looking forward to my business trip in DC next week. I love traveling alone and staying in my own room all alone. I'm staying in a B&B by the National Zoo and I'm going to try to do some exploring in the evenings, but mostly I want to lie around all night and read.

I feel guilty about it because we leave again two days after I come back for a mini-vacation without Toddler Charlie. I'm going to miss him.

I LOVE to travel for work! It is so nice to be alone for a little while but I do get homesick after awhile. My other confession is that there is a job I would like to apply for that requires travel between the US and China. I don't know if I could hack it in China and I think that is too much to put on DH (dealing with the kids by himself so much) so I stay put - for now.

Between some of the idiot teachers in my training sessions and the huge group of morons in my Parenting After Divorce class, I pretty much hate people this week.

I am so close to putting up my vacation message on my work e-mail. I am going to post final grades tonight and I just know I'll get an onslaught of people wanting to fight for every last point for their grade or asking for extra credit now that they failed or crying because they failed but weren't interested in the class but worked "really really hard" and really deserve to pass.... I know I probably should talk to them all but I really just want to ignore them and disappear on summer vacation for the next 4 weeks.

Oh man, that is the WORST! I'm thinking about picking up teaching again next fall and I'm not looking forward to that part of things.

I have major depression going on because DH and I are fighting and we had a few huge financial hits last month that wiped out more than half of our savings, so today I called in sick to work when there is nothing physically wrong with me.

I'm jealous of a really good high school friend who just told me on Wednesday that she is pregnant again and they are buying a new house. I so want another kid and a new house, but financially they are both out of the question.

And I'm sitting here crying while writing both of these FFFC.

Don't beat yourself up about it, you have to do what you have to do, and if you just need some time alone with your thoughts, then you're certainly entitled to that.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time, hope things get better soon.

It's the only thing I dread about my job, dealing with students like this. I even had a girl on her knees crying once. I keep tissues handy in my office for this very reason.

Agreed when it comes to teaching at the college level. "Oh, I worked so hard! I did all the homework (copied verbatim from the back of the book), missed 75% of the class meetings, and I really don't understand how I failed the midterm."

They're grade grubbers, and it never ceases to amaze me how some don't understand how little they really did.

I missed the whole jorts post, but I like jean shorts, comfy with pockets that can hold stuff and not fall out.

FWIW, maybe this makes me totally trashy but I wore a jirt to work today because it is just too darn hot to wear jeans even if it is casual Friday. I hate clothes shopping so I buy as few clothes as possible and change into my comfy clothes (knit shorts of some type or soccer shorts and a baggy tshirt).

I wouldn't be surprised if those people from What Not to Wear show up one day. I probably should go buy some new work clothes though. LOL

Charlie constantly threatens me with these people.

I'm also guilty of the switch to yoga capris and a tank top the second I walk in the door. It's the first thing I do.

I just thought of another good one. Sometimes I wish I had kept my maiden name. I really don't like my married name.

That stinks. Not that it matters but, I like your married name! I think it sounds very distinguished, like royalty or something.

I always feel like a bad person when I say this but I *really* don't like Ben's last name and that's a big part of why I didn't change it. I told everyone I didn't because of my daughter (didn't want her to feel excluded, once we had more children she would have been the only one with a different last name). That's all true, but only half the reason

I think that's why I don't like it. It's just never grown on me. This is horrible, but I laughed when I found out what C's full name was (Charles Edward Lastname) and then when I heard his brother's, I about died (Wesley Henry Lastname). Maybe if my first name didn't sound so french it would be better.

Oh well, nothing I can do about it now

Excuse me.....did you just write this post about me??? Stick out tongue We aren't REALLY supposed to wear scrub pants to work. But I do because I still haven't lost enough baby weight to fit into my nicer work pants and I refuse to buy more clothes in a bigger size. Now ask me if I'm doing anything to try to lose the baby weight???? That's a big fat no. And I'm typing this while wearing a pair of Bermuda jorts. Big Smile

Oh, and I always feel bad about complaining when I think of my friend who married into the name "Schardt." Really? Shart? I would have kept my own name, TYVM!

I used to work with a guy who's last name was Turdo. Still laugh every time I think about him. I should probably grow up.

I'm depressed because DH started a job this week. You would think I would be happy but it's the exact opposite. He's gone LONG hours and now I'm realizing how much he did around here and how nice it was to have him caring for DD. And I can't seem to get it together enough to get DD and I ready and out the door in the morning so I can get to work at a reasonable hour. I just want one if us to be able to quit working (which just isn't realistic.) I think I cried more this week than when I went back to work after maternity leave.

Fake people annoy me. Extra points if they are selfish.

I ate a half of a container of Graeter's Ice Cream for lunch....

I am cursing a part time employer right now because I've spent the last 2.5 hours trying to complete 2 tasks that aren't working. One of which is attaching transcripts and a resume that hasn't changed since they hired me 3 months ago.

Argh.

notguilty · June 2011

DH applied for a new position and found out he didn't get it. He actually got teary-eyed telling me last night. He said he felt like he disappointed me. If he had been offered it, I could have quit my miserable job and started my own practice. It made me feel like total sh!t because obviously I'm putting too much pressure on him.

I hate my divorce clients. They are crazy and irrational people who don't give a flip about the damage they are doing to their kids. (No offense Warrior...I'm sure that's what you're referring to in your "parenting" class...and I use that term lightly).

I am starving to death right now because I'm trying to lose 15 lbs of baby weight that has never come off. I could go for some carbs. I can't believe I have to wear a bathing suit in a few weeks. Gross.

brittanyandcj · June 2011

I feel really bad for one of my co-workers. He just got dumped by his FI (which was actually a good thing because she had a nice little "reputation"). But he seems to attract the crazies and skanks. The guy is one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. I stayed late last night and kept him company for four hours and he called and kept insisting that he bring me dinner since he was going to be coming in and cooking his dinner, and didn't want to be rude. When I called to tell him I was leaving for the night, he thanked me for keeping him company for a few hours because he usually is on duty by himself. I mean, he is just seriously an all around nice guy. And he deserves to find someone great and be happy. I just feel so bad for him. Not like there is anything I can do unless I try to find him a date, but still. It just bothers me.

Exactly what Jersey said here. Finances can be such a tough spot for a couple to navigate. I hope you guys are able to work towards coming together rather than working against one another. And there's nothing wrong with taking the occasional mental health day from work.

FWIW, you'll always be JM to me Big Smile . And no offense to K, but I haven't seen her recently, and I hope I don't - because I don't think I'll be able to stiffle my laughter at her last name. Mature, I know.

And my FFFC - I wish my mom wouldn't bother coming around to see Alex at all. She has seen him 10 times since he's been born. I knew that was how it was going to be, and I'm fine with that. But she gets kind of irritated when she does see him, and he doesn't go running to her, because he doesn't know her. She stopped by with his birthday present, because she isn't coming to his party, and kept saying that he should know her and come to her because she's 'grandma'. She won't come over when invited, and we live about 15 min from each other. She suffers from a lot of depression and anxiety, and I understand what those types of things do to a person. I just get tired of telling her that he's just tired, or he's teething, or whatever other excuse I can come up with as to why he doesn't want to go near her, just to spare her feelings.

I kept my maiden name precisely because of this. I use both names on FB, but I never legally took DH's last name. No one, NO ONE, can pronounce it, ever. Not my coworkers, not my family members, and even DH and his brother pronounce it differently than his parents do. It drives me up the wall and I wish we had all just taken the last name Anderson or Smith or something.

teacherjess · June 2011

And my FFFC confession is that I took DD out today to do some shopping and dropped about $100 on crap I completely did not need (stuff from the B&B works sale, etc.). Now I feel guilty and want to return it all but I'm too lazy to go back out and return it, so I'll just keep it and think of all the things we could have bought with that $100 that we actually need, like stain for our deck or maybe some bedroom furniture, since we are currently still sleeping on a mattress on the floor while we try to decide what kind of furniture to get....ugh.
