We just planned a last minute trip to Disney World for next month! We haven't told ILs yet because we know they will judge us for going twice in one year.
Traveling has always been a big part of my life and I want that for DD as well. ILs are not big travelers and don't understand why we save for and plan vacations. Things have been tense with ILs lately anyway, so I am dreading their reaction.

My anniversary is tomorrow, and I know it's time for me to put out. We just had sex a couple days ago though, so I'm not really in the mood to do it again this week. Call me prude, but I'm kind of a once-a-week kind of gal (and sometimes not even that).

It is our anniversary Sunday, and my ILs are taking DD overnight on Saturday. Besides being a little apprehensive (first time being away from her overnight), I am pumped. Not really because of adult time and ultimate dusting, but to sleep in.... Yeah, I told DH I wanted to sleep in for our aniversary...

I am secretly hoping that DD pulls my hair the next time we are at the ILs. Why? FIL seems to think it's ok for her to pull his hair (he seriously sticks his head in her face & tells her to pull his hair). He doesn't understand that DD is far too young to understand when/who it is ok to pull & not to pull. I will totally yell out a big "OUCH! Pulling hair is bad!" the next time she does it when the ILs are around. I also hate being undermined by them regarding this.

While shopping for the gift exchange, I had A model some dresses for me. I feel bad about it and it has taken the better part of a month to tell my husband. His reaction was hysteric laughter. At least I did not take photos.
I watch Glee and as a result I think I have developed a bit of a complex... So I find Mark Salling (who plays Puck) to be incredibly attractive - minus the mohawk. I know that IRL he is like 30 years old but part of me still feels super gross for finding a "high school" student attractive. Irrational, yes, but I still can't help but feeling pedophilish.
It infuriates me that job postings (H is getting furloughed this year) say "minority candidates encouraged to apply". I'm all for EOEs, but implying a preference pisses me off. He is a teacher, and if someone else is better qualified then fine. hire that person, but it should have nothing to do with race (or sex for that matter)

I bought a pair of maternity shorts the other day. I'm not pregnant. I'm wearing them right now. I was shopping for maternity clothes with my sister at a second hand store and they were super cute and nothing fits me right now. They are incredibly comfortable. Perhaps I've let myself go.

Along the lines of job postings.... I'm a teacher and applying for a job for the fall. I'm annoyed at the postings that say "bachelor preferred". As in they don't want to pay for my master's. Why the hell does more schooling have to hurt my chances of getting a job.

Over the past year or so, I've slowly been quitting all my Facebook games (yes, I was one of the annoying people who played FarmVille, Restaurant City, etc.). When we got back from South Africa, I quit my last one since I hadn't played it in three weeks anyway. The idea was that I would have more time to get housework done, play with Lily, etc. What am I doing with all that time I freed up? Bumping! Oops
I get jealous of working moms. Sometimes I get jealous of my husband when he leaves for work in the morning. I know I am fortunate to have been able to stay home with the girls and that the grass is always greener. But it gets really lonely and I miss all the adult interaction.
Oh my God, I agree with you! I was really feeling this yesterday!

But maternity pants are so comfy! I'm still wearing my maternity jeans because all my old jeans are falling apart and have holes in them. I have one pair of new jeans (that I actually bought years ago but never wore), but they're too big. So almost every day I'm still wearing maternity jeans, and I'm okay with that.
The other day I saw my toddler washing her face and hands, she's pretending and it's her new "thing." I saw the draw open under our bed (captains bed) and it was mine and DH's "private" draw. In there are condoms, lube... Well you get it.
Turns out my DD was washing her hands and face with our lube. At least I know it's non-toxic.
Ha! Just the other night I had a dream that Finn was my baby daddy... not the 29 year old Cory Monteith but little high school Finn.I felt equally as dirty.
I don't read the posts marked 'sad'. Baby Zachary's death really messed me up for weeks. I still pray for him, but I just can't read those posts right now, it's just too depressing. Maybe it's a coping mechanism? I know life isn't all sunshine and lolllipops, but I don't want to get myself down like that again.
I walked by a guy at the mall the other night who was wearing Drakkar Noir. it sent me right back to high school and my first love and got me all excited I might need to track down a bottle for MH for Father's Day! i'm sure he'll be so pleased!

I go back to work on May 2nd. I am freaking out about it BUT happy that I think my house will be cleaner because I won't be home all day messing it up.

I'm still wearing a lot of maternity clothes too-- I guess it was the fact that I actually bought a new pair to wear! I'm thinking I may never fit into my old clothes again.

Yeah, I pretty much did. Then I set DH a text saying "guess what your DD got into today." How embarrassing!

My son's birthday party is this Sunday and I've been so lazy about getting things together. It will be very small (family lives out of state, so we are celebrating with them later, and in the past couple months most of our friends have moved away). We just got back from vacation on Monday, and I'm just now starting to do make eye patches (pirate theme). I really wanted to make these cute little toddler bookbags, but I haven't set up my sewing machine yet. I also haven't made the cupcakes. I made the party for 1pm so I wouldn't have to do anything but cupcakes and ice cream ::embarrassed face::
I smoke. It is a nasty habit left over from my teenage years. I don't smoke around DS ever; I go outside because I do not want him exposed at all. I have quit several times but I always go back to it. I want to quit again for myself and DS but my fatigue, stress, physical pain and anxiety levels have been through the roof lately and it has become my vice to keep me going.

My mom gave me a bunch of Chico's pants and they are AMAZING!! I will never stop wearing elastic band pants, LOL!
I can't think of a specific instance but at least once a week I read a post where I assume the person is full of it.
Like just making stuff up?
Yeah or really overexaggerating. I feel this way about FB. Whenever people post "I just" or "My kid just" I think either how sad is it that your first thought was FB when xyz happened, or you're so full of it you wouldn't be putting that on FB right now.

His death haunted me, I had nightmares and anxiety over it.
I have his picture on my fridge as a reminder that life is precious and not to sweat the small stuff that gets thrown at us. (I hope people don't think it is creepy) I would hate for my child to be forgotten so this is my way of remembering him and trying to get something positive from such a horrible tragedy.

Just last week MH said we need to go out and get me a new wardrobe because mine is so sad (my words, not his) but if he is noticing how bad it is, I KNOW it's time. Nothing fits me anymore. I was hoping to wait to buy new clothes so I could lose more weight, but yeah, not happening. I have worn a few pairs of mat pants lately myself
Congrats Starbuck :y & HHB on their sweet baby boys!
Lots of love & luck to Mdluv & Zook

When the world says give up... hope whispers try it one more time
One of my first thoughts when I discovered I'm pg again was, "crap--I'm going to have baby sh*t all over my house for another whole year!". I'm ready to have my living room back.

Any sad news I hear about babies or children makes me so sick and worried that I feel like I am going to throw up. Even that boy that they are looking for in NYC that went missing in the 70's...it makes me want to keep DS in a bubble even though I know I can't. It bothered me before DS even existed but now that DS is here I have been afraid of my own shadow and worried about DS's safety growing up.
I had this great idea for my elfster which required sewing...I bought the pattern and I tried to read the instructions and cut out the pattern pieces. It took me two hours to get through them, because of all the interruptions. This made me realize if it took me this long to read the instructions and cut out the paper pattern how the H am I going to sew this thing. I have resigned to buying the gift, which makes me sad because I love to sew.
