It's time for FFFC!

NicoleD0516 · October 2011

Okay, it's Friday and that means it's time for FFFC! Let's hear it!

NicoleD0516 · October 2011

My confession is that I have been stalking my registry.... daily (okay, sometimes a few times a day). My shower is tonight and I've been trying to figure out what I'll need to get after the shower. The flame worthy part is that I had created a spreadsheet, for our budgeting reasons, to prioritize the items I would want to buy after and prioritized them all.

Okay, now that I've shown you my neurotic type A side. It's your turn!

Hehehehe, I totally did that when we got married 4 years ago! Haven't gotten far enough along to register yet.

My confession: I really am excited to tell my in-laws that I'm pregnant when they come visit today. But they stay for too long (like until next Wednesday) and expect way too much entertaining when they visit so I'm equally planning to use pregnancy as an excuse to go take a nap or otherwise avoid my MIL when she's getting on my nerves.

Haha, I did that for our wedding, too -- especially the after-wedding prioritized spreadsheet! (Including cost estimates based on the 10% completion bonus vs not, if we decided to wait to buy something, haha)

I'm proud of it, rather than otherwise, though.

My confession: We're having DH's birthday party this weekend, the house is a mess, and I'm just plain not motivated to clean it.

Don't be fooled, I color coded the items by priority, Red = priority/we're buying. Orange= we can likely get away with it in the beginning but will need later. Green = it's just a want. Then I totaled the entire thing, totaled the red items, orange, etc.. I'm kinda lame. Embarrassed

I stalked my wedding registry a few years ago too! Not to this extent though.

You'll know when it's time to REALLY get going on the cleaning! The pending deadline will get ya going.

My confession: I'm a big time planner. I cannot plan if we get pregnant or not, unfortunately. But, what I can plan is what I'm going to do if we do get pregnant. I have decided that we are going to find out the gender, but we aren't going to tell anyone (same with the name obviously). The baby will share a room with Tman, so the crib bedding will match the current decor regardless of gender. I also have a bunch of stuff on a list that I would like to get: stroller, crib, swing, etc. I know it's totally jumping the gun and there will probably be better stuff out there if/when we get pregnant, but this is a way that I can feel in control - in some small way.

I have been thinking about getting a part time job. But I really don't want to have to get up early

Yesterday was my birthday and my husband had a night class so I was alone. He hated that I was going to be alone but I told him I was totally okay with it. We are celebrating with my family this weekend and I thought that was enough for me. My Mom took me to an early dinner so I was home by 5:30. After about an hour of being by myself I got a little sad that I was alone on my birthday. I really thought I would be fine as I usually look forward to having the house to myself. I was wrong. I threw a little pity party.

I could have written most of this myself. You are not alone sister!

You should have called me, we could have had a huge pity party together. I cried for about an hour over my hair.

I posted a status on FB basically thanking my DH for how much work he does with LO. One of my BFF posted something about "LO is 1/2 his so is 1/2 the work" and that basically I shouldn't thank him for doing his duty. It pissed me off. A lot. I just wanted to show my appreciation and it feels like she took that away. *sigh*

Sending big hugs your way & hope that your celebrations with your family this weekend make up for it! Enjoy x

This irks me and I hate it when people do that. I am sorry you feel like she took it away.. but I can tell you, she can't take it.. you own it, and I commend you for being grateful for your DH. It is a rare commodity, and I am sure he is glad that you do.

Thank you! I think my feelings have more to do with this particular friend in general, we've been really close friends for a long time and lately not so much. It's sad.
