1. I've pretty much stopped taking my vitamins. I remember a couple of days out of the week but just can't seem to make myself take them. I know they are still important but I'm still slacking on this.
2. There is a nurse at work that I refuse to tell I am pregnant. I know for a fact she already knows and will talk to others about it but not me. Drives me crazy. She is very opinionated and me not being married is something she likes to voice an opinion about. I'm holding out on principle now!
3. I used being pregnant as an excuse not to have to be the one to do a procedure on a really obnoxious patient at the hospital this week.
I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee today and I still feel like I want to fall asleep at my desk.
DS is teething like mad right now and has a really hard time falling and staying asleep, my poor guy. And the thought of driving 2 hours to a vacation spot tonight AFTER work is making me want to cry.
I used DHs clippers to try and tame the downstairs.
I picked a much too short guard and it is NOT pretty, I should have left it wild.
I've been eyeing my SO's clippers for awhile now! It's just so tempting! As for now, I plan on continuing the cave woman style.
My FFFC: I "fibbed" a smidge to DD1 about some of her new school's rules. They aren't ones that are particularly enforced by the school, but rather ones that I just want her to follow. However, she's much more petrified of getting in trouble with school than she is of getting in trouble with me, therefore it is exponentially more effective.
I have cleared my schedule numerous times recently to go to brunch with a friend / ex-coworker and she keeps cancelling. She asked me on Wednesday to write her a letter of recommendation for a job interview on Thursday. I told her I was too busy with work and doctors' appointments to write something for her. I did have things to do both days but probably could have thrown something together if I wasn't so annoyed that she keeps blowing me off, since I don't work in the mornings and I was off yesterday.
My former boss is coming back to work for the company again. He left on really bad terms with me, really screwing me over royally in the process. I won't get into details, but let's just say I don't particularly care for him and wouldn't be all that upset if a lion ate him. Now, he is NOT my boss, as I am the manager for a different department and now have more seniority than him. I SHOULD just let it go. BUT he cost me the job I really wanted, so I'm going to make everything way more difficult for him his entire first month back just to be a betch.

I have instigated multiple fights with my husband this week regarding the mouse situation in our house. Even though I haven't seen a single poop since Monday, I'm still obsessive about checking every trap (2-3 times/day), making sure there is enough peppermint oil scattered around (our house smells like a restaurant mint), and I call the exterminator daily to give updates on the status of his work.
My husband is so over me right now, and I couldn't care less.

That really sucks, and I hope you do make his life miserable.
I cannot stand when I see a child with a made up name/name ending in the letter i/names after the weather, day of the week, month or year, or a state of being. I just feel like s/he will never be taken seriously enough to be a professional individual.
Women who call themselves "single moms" but have been in a "committed relationship" for 5+ years. No, you aren't a single mom, you're a woman who's boyfriend has an issue putting on his big boy undies. A single parent raises children ALONE.
It really rubs me the wrong way when women (and here I'm using the term loosely) make bad choices they refuse to own up to, and expect the world to just be okay with it because they're a spechul snowflake.
I actually am amused by this one but nonetheless: I dislike passive aggressive behavior. If you have something to say about me and whatever the eff about what I'm doing that you don't like, say it. Go put on your BGP and tell me. Otherwise, keep my name out of your mouth. And no, I'm not a bully. I'm like this IRL too. I don't need to hide behind a computer, or have other people speak for me.
They seem so... unfinished to me. I always assume their mother was really young when they had them, and that they thought it was 'cool' and 'different'

We need to get a second car, and while I know minivans are way more practical I'll probably get an SUV just to avoid the minivan stigma.
I feel the same way. With DS2 on the way, I feel like I have to EVENTUALLY get a bigger car. We have an Impala now but I'm looking towards a 3rd row seating SUV of some kind. I like the new Honda Pilots.

My FFFC: I'm a card-carrying registry stalker (that's not the confession part, I own up to it easily) and I get sad that nothing's been purchased from either of my registries yet. I have to remind myself that my showers aren't until the middle of next month and beginning of October so invitations haven't even been mailed yet but I still get this little twinge of disappointment whenever I see those big ol goose eggs under the Fulfilled column.
Even more FF worthy: I feel a serious twinge of jealousy whenever our fellow-pregnant friends talk about everything their families have volunteered to purchase for them. Seriously, their crib, stroller, baby monitor, breast pump, pack-and-play, rocker, miscellaneous nursery furniture -- ALL of the big ticket items - have been 'spoken for/assigned' by and to various family members to purchase. DH and I are fully expecting to purchase all of our big-ticket stuff and I have to squash the envy monster whenever they talk about how excited their relatives are to bless them, especially when I know my family will probably surprise me with some of the more expensive stuff that I would never expect them to purchase.

I feel like this is more an UO than an FFC, but everyone else is doing it and I feel like being a lemming..
It bothers me when women identify themselves "single by choice", especially on the Single Parents forum. You're proud you're single and raising your child alone.. but aren't we all? Does it make you better than the mother who was abused, cheated on, or abandoned, that you got to select your sperm donor and plan ahead? To me it sounds like an unnecessary classification. I don't get up in arms about it, it just rubs me the wrong way, as if they NEED to remind people, "hey, I'm not like them, I wanted my life to me this way lulz".

DH got a second job two days before we got the BFP... We have been fortunate enough to be able to set aside all of the money he makes from said second job as "extra" (but after the BFP, we decided we needed it to pay off baby since my insurance doesn't cover maternity care)... and our baby is paid off! YAY!!! (That's just an AW) Now the "extra" money is going to the nursery, and then the rest is supposed to be set aside for bills while I am home with LO after he gets here (maternity leave, but I don't get paid by my work, so I don't know if it's called that )....
FFFC: I realized the other day, that the more of this "extra" money that I can keep him from spending between now and when LO gets here, the longer I can take off from work after LO gets here!

I stalk my registry too! My showers are actually coming up though, one's Sept 8th and the other's actually not till the end of Sept but the invites have been sent out! I look every day and get a little sad when I check and there's nothing else that's been purchased. Just a little! But enough that I really shouldn't be upset and I should just be happy people are buying this stuff for me

This. It also bugs me when people clarify that they "CHOSE" to adopt and did not struggle with IF first. My SO and I plan to adopt after this LO, but we have our own reasons. Even though those reasons are not IF-related, everyone *chooses* to adopt, and it doesn't mean we deserve some trophy because adoption wasn't a "last resort." Every time I hear this way of thinking at my church's support group, I want to throat punch someone. Yup. Throat punch them IN CHURCH.
Jolie- aren't there a few widows in the Single Parents group? How bad do those comments make THEM feel? What a douchey way of thinking.

Yeah, there is a little bit of everything on the SP board. It's particularly bad when someone posts a thread asking advice on how to cope with being a single parent and one of these "single by choice" women comes along with a big ole heaping pile of BS, such as:
Let me start off by saying I'm SINGLE BY CHOICE!!
And now I feel like I should give you some crack-pot advice on how easy/hard it is being a single mom, as I reference how I made this decision on my own over and over again, while not really relaying any helpful advice about how to deal with the fact that you didn't plan on being a single parent.
Lovely.

perhaps there was a back stori (see what I did there) to the name.....hence my question.
Re: FFFC
I've been bad this week. I have several.
1. I've pretty much stopped taking my vitamins. I remember a couple of days out of the week but just can't seem to make myself take them. I know they are still important but I'm still slacking on this.
2. There is a nurse at work that I refuse to tell I am pregnant. I know for a fact she already knows and will talk to others about it but not me. Drives me crazy. She is very opinionated and me not being married is something she likes to voice an opinion about. I'm holding out on principle now!
3. I used being pregnant as an excuse not to have to be the one to do a procedure on a really obnoxious patient at the hospital this week.
My confession:
I used DHs clippers to try and tame the downstairs.
I picked a much too short guard and it is NOT pretty, I should have left it wild.
BFP #1- 11/7/10 ~EDD 7/20/11 ~M/C (bo) 12/6/10 @ 8wks ~Missing my Little Firework
BFP #2- 9/11/11 ~EDD 5/25/12 ~M/C (mmc10w)11/4/11 @ 11wks ~Missing my May Flower

BFP #4 ~EDD 6/20/14 stick baby stick!
I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee today and I still feel like I want to fall asleep at my desk.
DS is teething like mad right now and has a really hard time falling and staying asleep, my poor guy. And the thought of driving 2 hours to a vacation spot tonight AFTER work is making me want to cry.
I've been eyeing my SO's clippers for awhile now! It's just so tempting! As for now, I plan on continuing the cave woman style.
My FFFC: I "fibbed" a smidge to DD1 about some of her new school's rules. They aren't ones that are particularly enforced by the school, but rather ones that I just want her to follow. However, she's much more petrified of getting in trouble with school than she is of getting in trouble with me, therefore it is exponentially more effective.
I have cleared my schedule numerous times recently to go to brunch with a friend / ex-coworker and she keeps cancelling. She asked me on Wednesday to write her a letter of recommendation for a job interview on Thursday. I told her I was too busy with work and doctors' appointments to write something for her. I did have things to do both days but probably could have thrown something together if I wasn't so annoyed that she keeps blowing me off, since I don't work in the mornings and I was off yesterday.
ETA- Second FFFC: I don't feel bad about it.
I have instigated multiple fights with my husband this week regarding the mouse situation in our house. Even though I haven't seen a single poop since Monday, I'm still obsessive about checking every trap (2-3 times/day), making sure there is enough peppermint oil scattered around (our house smells like a restaurant mint), and I call the exterminator daily to give updates on the status of his work.
My husband is so over me right now, and I couldn't care less.
I am also guilty of this
That really sucks, and I hope you do make his life miserable.
I have multiple today
12/1/11 BFP, missed m/c diagnosed @ 9w2d
I hate names that end in 'i'.
They seem so... unfinished to me. I always assume their mother was really young when they had them, and that they thought it was 'cool' and 'different'

I feel the same way. With DS2 on the way, I feel like I have to EVENTUALLY get a bigger car. We have an Impala now but I'm looking towards a 3rd row seating SUV of some kind. I like the new Honda Pilots.
ALL OF THIS.
HAHAHAHA!!
ETA: gif didn't work
My FFFC: I'm a card-carrying registry stalker (that's not the confession part, I own up to it easily) and I get sad that nothing's been purchased from either of my registries yet. I have to remind myself that my showers aren't until the middle of next month and beginning of October so invitations haven't even been mailed yet but I still get this little twinge of disappointment whenever I see those big ol goose eggs under the Fulfilled column.
Even more FF worthy: I feel a serious twinge of jealousy whenever our fellow-pregnant friends talk about everything their families have volunteered to purchase for them. Seriously, their crib, stroller, baby monitor, breast pump, pack-and-play, rocker, miscellaneous nursery furniture -- ALL of the big ticket items - have been 'spoken for/assigned' by and to various family members to purchase. DH and I are fully expecting to purchase all of our big-ticket stuff and I have to squash the envy monster whenever they talk about how excited their relatives are to bless them, especially when I know my family will probably surprise me with some of the more expensive stuff that I would never expect them to purchase.

I feel like this is more an UO than an FFC, but everyone else is doing it and I feel like being a lemming..
It bothers me when women identify themselves "single by choice", especially on the Single Parents forum. You're proud you're single and raising your child alone.. but aren't we all? Does it make you better than the mother who was abused, cheated on, or abandoned, that you got to select your sperm donor and plan ahead? To me it sounds like an unnecessary classification. I don't get up in arms about it, it just rubs me the wrong way, as if they NEED to remind people, "hey, I'm not like them, I wanted my life to me this way lulz".
DH got a second job two days before we got the BFP... We have been fortunate enough to be able to set aside all of the money he makes from said second job as "extra" (but after the BFP, we decided we needed it to pay off baby since my insurance doesn't cover maternity care)... and our baby is paid off! YAY!!! (That's just an AW) Now the "extra" money is going to the nursery, and then the rest is supposed to be set aside for bills while I am home with LO after he gets here (maternity leave, but I don't get paid by my work, so I don't know if it's called that
)....
FFFC: I realized the other day, that the more of this "extra" money that I can keep him from spending between now and when LO gets here, the longer I can take off from work after LO gets here!
I stalk my registry too! My showers are actually coming up though, one's Sept 8th and the other's actually not till the end of Sept but the invites have been sent out! I look every day and get a little sad when I check and there's nothing else that's been purchased. Just a little! But enough that I really shouldn't be upset and I should just be happy people are buying this stuff for me
Jolie- aren't there a few widows in the Single Parents group? How bad do those comments make THEM feel? What a douchey way of thinking.
Yeah, there is a little bit of everything on the SP board. It's particularly bad when someone posts a thread asking advice on how to cope with being a single parent and one of these "single by choice" women comes along with a big ole heaping pile of BS, such as:
Let me start off by saying I'm SINGLE BY CHOICE!!
And now I feel like I should give you some crack-pot advice on how easy/hard it is being a single mom, as I reference how I made this decision on my own over and over again, while not really relaying any helpful advice about how to deal with the fact that you didn't plan on being a single parent.
Lovely.
I want to spend the remainder of my day watching this gif.
I so agree with 3 and 4!
My daughter's name is Stori. And I have cousins that are Holli, Jami, and Traci. (All sisters) I honestly don't really care what people think about my children's names Hence while you'll never see a "What should I name my baby?" post from me.....However, I think the stereotype you're placing on them is a little unfair. But to each their own.
Your daughters name is Stori?.......Why?
Because she decided she wanted to name her daughter Stori... why else?
B/c ending the name with an "i" is totes cool yo! As well as making up a "name"
perhaps there was a back stori (see what I did there) to the name.....hence my question.
Ha! Essentially yea...I heard it from someone else who had a sister named Stori and I liked it enough to use it for my own daughter. Pretty simple. Her middle name is Lynn, which is after family....but other than that...no significant meaning.
lol!
10Nessie: Im sorry, I just much prefer the spellings Terry, Kerry/Carrie, Tracy... ect. Its not a matter of being legit (although, thats a plus!) its just not my cup of tea...
Lovely L: How did you come about your DDs name? Edit: posted late, computer running slow

See PP. I just liked it. Lol. Though coincidentally, there is another Stori in my Stori's ballet class. Small world, eh?
Haha. I always say that she's 'the Stori of my life'
