I'm up so I figured I'd get the ball rolling. Plus it'll give something for all the night-feeders to read

There's a text image/poster on Pinterest that annoys the crap out of me. It says something like, "because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have".

maybe it's my slanted view or my childhood, but this seems like such a cop out. I've heard this defense before when it comes to making excuses for a partner and I want to shake the person by the shoulders, mostly because that was the reasoning the family used when it came to my biological fathers behavior. It was like, oh that's the best he could give. BS. Higher standards would have weeded him out. Then of course I wouldn't be here, so it's probably best I don't own a time machine.

Amen, sister. Everytime my mom looks at DH and says, "your father would never have done that," I tell her, "I wouldn't accept any less." Not that she had much of a choice (pregnant 47 years ago at age 14), but she (and by extension, the rest of us) put up with a lot.

When I saw the AE yesterday I thought the screename was SeattleBoardAEisHS. As in "Seattle Board AE is High School" and I agreed that having a malicious AE is like being in HS again and I thought the AE was some kind of stupid HS bullshits.

Even when I went back and read it correctly, my mind didn't change about the stupidity.

Also, I miss you guys. The national boards have gotten scary and creepy. Sad

That is what I thought when I saw the screen name too.

My first FFFC is that I find drama on message boards funny. While I think it is stupid for AE's to hide or stir up things intentionally, I must admit that there have been some posts that have had my cracking up. It's just a freakin' message board after all.

My second, is that I hardly paid attention to the Casey Anthony trial. I hate it when the media goes ape sh*t on stories like that to boost ratings. If it hadn't been a cute white girl killed and a cute white mom, then sadly nobody would have been paying attention.

kristalovesjared · July 2011

I agree the AE stuff is very high school. Seriously, who wants to take the time to be mean to someone else by setting up a fake account. Those people must have very boring lives in order to pick on Internet aquointences!
one more... I like being pregnant right now. I've been having naughty dreams about ex boyfriends and celebrities and kind of like it!

I don't miss being at work, however it's really hard not getting in my car for a chai and some magazines. Lying on my sides and not my back is way harder than I thought.

I do believe the statement. Not because my husband abuses me and I want to make it right. But because he isn't perfect, and the way he was raised was different than I was. So he isn't as affectionate, doesn't communicate as well, but loves me with his whole heart. I guess for me I look at love in a realistic type of way, know there isn't such a thing as "perfection" instead I found a wonderful man that has flaws I can live with the rest of my life. Because let's face it, we all have flaws, but I know he loves me with all of what he has. And it's enough. No flames though, seriously. Just thought you might want to see a different point of view that has nothing to do with bad behavior.

I hate shopping. I have a $100 Nordstroms gc from xmas, but the thought of shopping to spend it doesn't sound fun at all. I am very basic in my clothes and would have no idea what would look good. So there it sits in my wallet.

I started breaking out like a teenager this week. I hate it. It took me a few minutes to realizes this doesn't mean my period is coming.

You could buy some great shoes or a new bag! It wouldnt have to be clothes.

Edmund hates tummy time and I hate making him do it. He constantly screams and eventually falls asleep. He's fine when he does tummy time on someone but when you try to do it anywhere other than that it's an absolute nightmare.

AnnetteWalker · July 2011

DH and I are going to start my SIL's "diet" thing. I am not a fan of pre-packaged food diets but we just have not been able to or done any weight loss on our own. I feel defeted about it and mad.

I am kind of jealous of the child care providers daughter. She is 19 and had 1 child. She has awsome post baby body and when I saw her this week when it was sunny she looks like she may be preg again. Not that I want to be 19 again. But I wish we could afford a second child and that I had a killer body or one of the 2.

I couldn't care less about the Casey Anthony or her trial either. She may or may not have done it but really giving her any of my attention to someone who could have killed their own child is not something I am going to do. I hope she just goes away and gets no attention or celebrity from this. She seems to be uncaring Mother and I wish her no notarity from this. She does not deserve it.

You could sell it! I get Nordstrom GC's for my birthday pretty often, and I usually sell them to my SIL since she shops there all the time anyway. I would usually rather have the cash and stash it away for something I really want... Or use it to go out with some friend or something!

pixelvixen · July 2011

I drank an entire bottle of wine by myself - alone - last night. I rarely drink outside of social events, so when DH got home from a work meeting and didn't know what to do with me. lol

Whenever I think of and refer to many of my friends lately, I tend to think of their first, maiden, and married last names because Facebook displays them that way. Even my girlfriends I grew up with I think of them in this way now, it's totally ridiculous! Thank you to those who only display their first and married last names. lol

It started as $200, I got shoes and 2 new bras. I was planning on getting some summer stuff, but now that isn't a great plan. I figure if I keep checking the Rack I have it to spend if/when I find stuff. I just wish they came with personal shoppers.

AnnetteWalker · July 2011

I don't understand or like the look of tounge piercing. No offence to anyone on here who has one but I think they look trashy when I see someone with it. I don't have any idea why a person would even want to pierce their tounge. I have heard it can break or mess up your teeth why do that?

I want to go into labor naturally and be DONE...but twice this week they've talked induction and I actually looked forward to it. I am just that ready to be done. I was a good sport for 40 weeks. (After this morning's NST, it looks like we're back in the waiting game. With zero progress.)

ckmommy · July 2011

C sprained his left ankle on the 4th while running around my IL's yard and tumbling into the ditch. I freaked out because it was just us and when he would try to walk his leg would quiver, then he would fall down and cry. I took him to urgent care and he was a great sport. Afterwards on the drive home I kind of giggled... I sprain my ankles all the time, I guess he is more like me then we all thought. He is fine and in a splint part of the day, but I couldn't help but think like mother like son. Bad mommy....

MrsEditorJax · July 2011

On the plane back from Las Vegas, I was kind of a biitch to a woman ... and yet I feel totally justified about it. She was this total loudmouth who got on board right in front of us with a lap infant (who she yanked out of the stroller by the wrists on the jetway; I cringed big time) and lo and behold, she was seated behind me.

Now, normally, I would be thinking oh, that sucks, I feel for you. I flew alone with Collin twice before he was a year old, including once to Florida, and it isn't easy! But she was instantly combative with the flight crew, arguing about why she couldn't have the middle seat for her infant (the flight was full) and nearly biting the head off the flight attendant who asked if she wanted help carrying stuff to her seat.

So during the flight, she is sitting there bouncing her child and shaking my ENTIRE seat. I didn't know if she even realized it, so after several minutes where I am starting to think I am going to need some Dramamine, I turn around and very politely ask her to not shake my seat. She goes into full biitch mode and snaps, "I AM TRYING TO SOOTHE MY CHILD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Her child who, may I add, is not upset whatsoever and is chewing on his blanket and looking around.

So, cough, I may have snapped back, "You know, I've flown with a lap child, too, and managed to not disrupt people," and then turned back around. Of course she continued to do it -- and then stopped once the flight attendant walked by. I understand that we're all on the plane together and that it isn't comfortable for anyone, but there is no reason to go out of your way to be rude.

The funny thing is, the flight attendant apparently heard everything and when we got off the plane in Seattle, she apologized to me and thanked me for being patient with Shaky McShakerson.

This isn't really a confession, but I didn't feel like starting a new post.

I didnt think much of the door post last night other than WTF when it first happened, but after I went to bed I couldnt stop thinking about it. It really kind of freaked me out to know how easily accessible I am. I mean, I always realized it before, but never thought anything would actually happen. This person (and I'm 90% sure who you are btw) could have easily posted photos of my ENTIRE house including address. Ummm...yeah....i'll be changing some things. Probably my bump name and for sure what info I share. Also, if we friends on FB and haven't met IRL you're getting the axe...no offense.

We will be calling this The Great Door Debacle of 2011. FYI.

suzie711 · July 2011

We are going to Camano Island to my Aunt and Uncle's "Cabin" ( huge nice house on the beach ..) this weekend to visit with my dad's side of the family. I am exhausted for no good reason and don't even feel like going - even though it's rare I can get a weekend off and I don't get to see my family very often. I would rather lay around the house and do nothing .. sigh ..

I am SOO sick of working weekends ... and I feel like there is no end in sight. I have been at my job for 4 years and I'm still getting screwed on shift bid .. I can't wait until I have a choice of better shifts and can have at least 1 weekend day off to spend with family. On that same note, I hate that my mom expects me to easily get weekend days off to go do things when she knows I work and it's not easy to get the days off - especially in the summer. Someday I will be able to enjoy a 'normal' life/schedule ..

This. And the people really piss me off sometimes. Yesterday it was a person who was "getting rid of" (the phrase itself is awful) her two outdoors (ugh) dogs because she's too lazy to care for them. Also someone who disagrees with the "gay lifestyle choice" and said that gays should remain celibate. Give me a break. Other than the AEs, I like our board and would much rather stick to it, CD and pets.

My husband is in the same situation. He works weekends, and has for 10 years now. His family still gets all upset when he cant come to functions at 2:30pm on a Saturday. Then they throw it in his face when he reminds them why... they go "yayaya, you work weekend, we get it"... we obviously they dont! I told him he should plan a party for a Thursday morning then get all pissed when his family wont take the day off to come. Ha! Hang in there!
