Well, I can't beat that, but I do have a confession. My cousin is getting married this weekend, about 5.5 hours away. Everyone in my crazy, "Big Fat Greek Wedding" family is expecting to see J. We aren't taking her! She is one, and she cannot hold still! One of us would miss the ceremony keeping her occupied, and we would have to leave the reception early. And she is getting her molars. No way. I feel bad because I feel like she should come and I want her too, but there is no way I am dealing with that this weekend, 5.5 hours away from home.

we always get s hit about not bringing Wes to certain events, and I shut that noise down STAT. People always want to SEE the baby.... just not DEAL with the baby. Well guess what, comrades, I would like to have a nice night out too, which does not involve chasing a whiny, teething toddler around a nice church amd/or country club in nice clothes and heels, keeping him up past his bedtime, worrying about how he'll act, what he'll eat, etc. That sounds like the opposite of a good time, actually.

1. I returned two big, unopened bags of candy to BJ's yesterday. I don't even feel bad about it. We didn't get as many TOTers as expected, and I'd rather have the 22 bucks back in my pocket than candy sitting around the house that I will invariably eat and loathe myself for.
2. Dh flew out to Dallas yesterday for a day of like SIX interviews with this new company. They were already talking like he worked there by the end of the day. I'm excited, but also s hitting a brick. They still have to hit his number and the package has to be right for us to transplant ourselves 1400 miles away for at least 2 years, but it's looking like this might actually happen. Hold me.

I used to give blowies to my DH all the time. The thought of anything in my mouth other than food while pregnant ruined that. I still can't bring myself to perform, and it's been almost 2 years. I'm thinking of giving it a try tonight.

Exactly!! Thank you! Particularly about the Seeing baby, not dealing with her. I actually have an opportunity to DO my hair, squeeze into my spanks, and put on my new sexy dress and heels! I do NOT want to chase around and try to keep clean a toddler in a party dress! She has been way too delicate this week.
Surprisingly, my mom said she thought it would be best. I am shocked. But not stressed anymore! Yes!

I have a santa related confession. I don't like opening presents on Christmas morning. I like christmas eve so much better! The night time is more magical. Plus I like that it can be more relaxed and everyone is warm and cozy after a big dinner and wine

Normally DH doesn't go to work until 11 so he has all this alone time in the mornings. I told him he should go early vote one day and he said he'd just wait for Election Day. Last night he found out he has to go in at 9 on Tuesday so I bet he won't even vote. This makes me a little happy b/c I know he would vote for "not my choice". (Our early voting ends today)
My period has been wonky this month but I have pretended it was longer than it really was so I did't have to have sex with DH. I love him. I love it once we get going. I'm just never ever in the mood.

I do this too. After dealing with AF, I rather not deal with DH getting all hands on. I need an extra day or two before I'm in the mood.
LBB only has 1 nap at daycare, from 12:30-2:30. On the weekends he usually nap more. This weekend we tried to do "daycare schedule" and keep him up till 12:30. We played outside, played inside, decorated pumpkins, read books, sang songs. At noon, we all sat down to lunch, and my kid fell asleep eating his quesadilla. In his highchair. I'm one of those that doesn't find it cute when kids are exhausted to the point of falling asleep anyway, so I feel guilty about it.
I think it's BS that the NYC marathon will still held. They will be providing the basic essentials there for the runners when people in Staten Island, Long Island, NJ ans Manhattan don't even have water or help yet. These people will be using vital resources that could go to those in need, not to mention gasoline which no one has even here in PA!
It's poor taste to continue the marathon and shame on any runners who choose to run.
If you have enough energy and resources to run or watch the marathon, you have enough energy or resources to run clothes or food or gas to those in NY or NJ.

Oh, hell. My periods 'last' two weeks for that very reason. By about a week and a half he's questioning me, so I say I'm still spotting. I'm terrible, I know, but I'm so fried from trying to do everything ... I have no drive at all ... being on AF gives me a little peace from him for never being in the mood. I know. I know. I'll be back at lunch with my own confession!

I haven't had a period since 2010, but when I did, AF never slowed anything down in the sex department.

DD has stopped taking a real midday nap, and won't sleep if we put her down. She won't stay asleep if we wear her out and she falls asleep in the car. Believe me, I've tried. I miss my naptimes!
But probably once a week or so she randomly falls asleep for 15 minutes or so during an activity. On the couch, in her highchair, on the potty...there's a bit of grey area when you nap transition- so don't feel guilty.
1.) I went ape sh*t shopping during my appointment with the personal stylist and DH would kill me if he knew how much money I spent. I am going to have to sell some of my possessions on EBay to help pay off the newly opened Nordstrom's credit account. There were so many things that the stylist brought me that look fantastic on me and felt good wearing too. Most things were on sale but there were 3 items over $100 that I bought. I have been feeling very crappy lately, plus none of my clothes fit well anymore, so buying these items was very therapeutic for me.
2.) I am still have bladder issues at times post pregnancy and they are often worse when I am having auto-inflammatory flares. Yesterday I ran to the bathroom but still had an "accident". I had to go commando all day while wearing an above the knee skirt. I think it is time to discuss this with my Dr.

i would have been worried about having another accident and it running out the bottom of the skirt!
We got a ton of loud noisy gifts and duplicates for Gator's birthday that we are going to return. I know most of them came from Target but I am going to try and return them to TRU. Either way we will get in store credit, but the toys I want to exchange them for are at TRU. I will get more if I return to Target because of taxes, and because TRU is in the no-tax state next to us.....
We finalized our will this week. Everything we own, all of our money, and DD go to my parents with my brother as back-up if they're no longer living. We left my ILs out of it altogether. DH doesn't want to tell them because shiit will hit the fan if they find out. We already have a horrible relationship with them anyways, so this would just be the icing on the poopcake if they found out. Flameful part? I reallywant to tell them in a bad way just to see the relationship finally crumble. I'm itching to tell them. I know it'll get ugly, and cause DH a lot of grief, and we'll all cut ties, but they've been so hateful recently towards me that I just don't care. They constantly criticize every.single.thing I do. Like, I'm pretty sure even the way I breathe bothers them. They told MH last month that I'm on my phone too much, and he needs to take it away. WTF? FIL tried, and failed, to figure out my passcode this weekend to see who I text because he's convinced that I'm destined to cheat. I'm just done with them. I'm a strong, smart, funny, and successful woman who loves her family more than anything in the world, and I don't want DD to see me as anything else because of the way they're always putting me down. Visits with them are going to be severely limited for a long while, I think, or I'll probably tell. (Here's cake for reading my vent/confession/book . Sorry )

No flames here at all. You can always make more $. If you feel and look better, I bet it's worth every penny that you spent. Yay you!

This is one of the reasons I want my period back! I have no excuse anymore, because I can only use I am tired so many times before he catches on!
My FFFC, I think I have to read 50 shades, everyone says it will rev up my sex drive so I bought them MONTHS ago and haven't read them. Well I think I have hit a wall and am in a dry spell and I need to read them! I miss sex and by sex I mean OMG good sex not lie on my back, get it over sex like I have been doing! Maybe that is two confessions! Either way I need to gets me a good fruck!!

1.) You've inspired me to see about doing the stylist thing at Nordstroms. My wardrobe is barebones since I lost so much weight. I live in leggings and company shirts because I can't find clothes to fit anywhere. I feel frumpy and sad and ugly, and something's gotta give.
2.) I have horrible bladder control yet. I pee myself at least 2-3x daily. Not much, but still ... sometimes enough to change underwear if I'm at home. Something to put on my "discuss with doctor" list, I suppose.

i feel the same way towards SIL. We didn't leave Gator to her if something happens to us. She feels she should be the FIRST and ONLY person that gets Gator. But one, I can't stand her. Two, she has the maturity level of a 15 year old. Three, she has MS and at times has gone blind for months at a time....and has other health issues on top of it to where it causes problems and she cannot take care of the two kids she has. And four, she parents the complete opposite than SO and I do. And I have siblings too.....there is no reason she would automatically get picked over my stable siblings (even though she thinks she would). But the look on her face was PRICELESS when it was casually mentioned while she was in earshot that if something happens to us, Gator would go to her dad's cousin and his wife (or his other cousin - the brother of the first couple - and his wife). The person I was talking to asked why and I told her that it was because they parent with the same respect and morals that we will with Gator and if for some reason either couple cannot take her, then she will go to my sister as a last resort.....we have nobody listed after that. I wish I had a hidden camera so anytime she drove me up the walls, I could relive that moment. I wasn't going to hide our wishes for what would happen to Gator.
But in a few years we will be purchasing the house that my SIL wants (my IL's). And turning the apartment in the shop (where SIL and her Hubby stay when they are in town every other week) into an office for SO since he works from home. She currently has no idea any of this is going down. It's something that has been worked out between SO, IL's and I.....and they haven't told her. I have my fingers crossed that I am around when she finds out....she is going to be livid. Then she is going to talk about how spoiled we are and how we get everything handed to us (even though we are purchasing the house, it isn't going to be given to us). And then she will put on her second face, and mentioned at least now when she stays in town she can spend more time with Gator since she will be staying at our house. And then I will casually mention the apartment is going to be an office for SO and the spare bedroom with either be a playroom or my office (unless we have another LO by then - then it will be his or her room). *** is going to hit the fan.....and I am going to enjoy EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. OF. IT!
I miss the drama we (Oct 2011) used to have when the board was full of hormonal morons. Now we have all of these smart, funny ladies here. = No Drama.
This made me laugh! That is why I like lurking on some of the newer BMBs even though I am not pregnant and don't plan to be for awhile.
My confession is that I was supposed to go to a meeting yesterday afternoon for school and I bailed because I wanted to go to the gym. It was a voluntary meeting, but I said I couldn't go because I couldn't find anyone to watch DD. That was a total lie - I have just been feeling bad about myself and needed to burn off some Halloween candy. I feel bad about not going to the meeting, but I feel better about myself that I didn't skip my workout.

ILY! lol I'm glad I'm not alone! You can bet your ass I'm going to relish the moment my ILs find out. Because I'm really leaning towards getting the nastiness out of the way soon calling it over with them.

They will be providing the basic essentials there for the runners when people in Staten Island, Long Island, NJ ans Manhattan don't even have water or help yet.

If you have enough energy and resources to run or watch the marathon, you have enough energy or resources to run clothes or food or gas to those in NY or NJ.
I agree, this is infuriating to me, and I live in Indiana. The race is supposed to start in Staten Island, hello! Staten Island, where they are just now getting some aide, and still finding dead bodies. I don't see how the marathon will not take away from the help that the people of New York need. Help your people and postpone the marathon, the people of New York need food, water, and electricity, they don't a damn marathon going on right now. I feel so bad for all those hurting and needing basic ammenities, my heart also goes out to that mother who lost her 2 and 4 year old children. How heartbreaking for all those affected.
its really disgraceful! I can't believe it! They are making people work it who live by me (in PA 75 mi from Manhattan). Do they realize there is no gas? We have a $20 limit *if* you can even get it!! $20 is getting you nowhere and that's waiting. 2 hrs + for it! Not to mention that the hotels near the marathon are turning people away who need help and making this leave who have no place to go because they need to make room for the runners.
They want "normalcy" to return but by trying to return to normal they are blatantly ignoring those in need. And shame on those runners if they choose to run. This sole thing regarding the marathon is just wrong!

It's disgusting that there are 2 large generators just sitting in Central Park waiting to be used for the race when there are people without heat.
I saw that on msnbc, and immediately thought WTF? It's just butt backwards I just don't understand. Those people need legitimate help, eff those runners that need a hotel room. So aggravating...
on the news I heard that there are a lot of hotels that are refusing to remove stranded families to make room for runners.....even if the runners had reservations. They are canceling the reservations and keeping stranded families in the hotels
My confessions
1. I returned two big, unopened bags of candy to BJ's yesterday. I don't even feel bad about it. We didn't get as many TOTers as expected, and I'd rather have the 22 bucks back in my pocket than candy sitting around the house that I will invariably eat and loathe myself for.
2. Dh flew out to Dallas yesterday for a day of like SIX interviews with this new company. They were already talking like he worked there by the end of the day. I'm excited, but also s hitting a brick. They still have to hit his number and the package has to be right for us to transplant ourselves 1400 miles away for at least 2 years, but it's looking like this might actually happen. Hold me.
Dallas is awesome! You will love it here! What company (if I may be so rude?)

they have 2 huge tents set up with 2 large generators. Do they realize that Staten Island, Long Island, NJ, Queens, heck even their very own Manhattan doesn't have power? That 2 huge warm tents would give hundreds of people the warmth they need? That starting a race in Staten Island is just shoving it in their faces that the race is more important?
These runners should be running with supplies instead, and giving them out those in need. I don't care how long they have been training, a natural disaster has happened! Step up and help....
Not to mention the gas we don't have to run the generators for something that doesn't need to occur at this moment. Plus the people in the race, working the marathon and watching it could ALL be helping somewhere instead.

the news can tell you what you want to hear. People are being kicked out of hotels as we speak to make room for the runners. People in lower Manhattan are being turned away because they don't look presentable enough for them help, disgusting!

I have been feeling very crappy lately, plus none of my clothes fit well anymore, so buying these items was very therapeutic for me.
2.) I am still have bladder issues at times post pregnancy and they are often worse when I am having auto-inflammatory flares. Yesterday I ran to the bathroom but still had an "accident". I had to go commando all day while wearing an above the knee skirt. I think it is time to discuss this with my Dr.
1.) You've inspired me to see about doing the stylist thing at Nordstroms. My wardrobe is barebones since I lost so much weight. I live in leggings and company shirts because I can't find clothes to fit anywhere. I feel frumpy and sad and ugly, and something's gotta give.
2.) I have horrible bladder control yet. I pee myself at least 2-3x daily. Not much, but still ... sometimes enough to change underwear if I'm at home. Something to put on my "discuss with doctor" list, I suppose.
The stylist thing at Nordstrom's was awesome! She never pressured me to buy anything and she had me come in yesterday since they were having a big sale and I was already going to be in town for a Dr's appointment.
Congrats to you for losing so much weight! That is so difficult to do! I have been about 30 lbs to heavy for the last several years. To add to my frumpiness and feeling bad, my stomach still looks like I am 5 mos pregnant. When I first saw what she had picked out I was thinking "Ugh...this is so not me" but then I tried the clothes on and they were awesome! I looked good and felt good too!
Glad to know I am not the only one with bladder issues still. It svcks and I hope it goes away for both of us!
I have a santa related confession. I don't like opening presents on Christmas morning. I like christmas eve so much better! The night time is more magical. Plus I like that it can be more relaxed and everyone is warm and cozy after a big dinner and wine
This is me! Although, we might possibly get away with it, because we're not doing Santa with DS. We'll read him the stories and let him watch the specials, but he'll always know it's make-believe. We'll definitely teach him that some children believe he's real and that's okay, but he shouldn't spill the beans.

I keep getting error messages when I try to quote Mack. I was going to third what BM said.I bought MH a cupcake today and then I decided that I was mad at him, so I let V eat the cream cheese icing off the top.nbsp; She is having a rough week because she is teething and I took away the bottle cold turkey. I figured some cream cheese icing would be a nice treat. She has been in a much better mood ever since.
Sugar is a pain reliever. Really you were just being a good mom.

I've heard a spoonful of it makes the medicine go down :-)
I think it's BS that the NYC marathon will still held. They will be providing the basic essentials there for the runners when people in Staten Island, Long Island, NJ ans Manhattan don't even have water or help yet. These people will be using vital resources that could go to those in need, not to mention gasoline which no one has even here in PA!
It's poor taste to continue the marathon and shame on any runners who choose to run.
If you have enough energy and resources to run or watch the marathon, you have enough energy or resources to run clothes or food or gas to those in NY or NJ.
I agree, this is infuriating to me, and I live in Indiana. The race is supposed to start in Staten Island, hello! Staten Island, where they are just now getting some aide, and still finding dead bodies. I don't see how the marathon will not take away from the help that the people of New York need. Help your people and postpone the marathon, the people of New York need food, water, and electricity, they don't a damn marathon going on right now. I feel so bad for all those hurting and needing basic ammenities, my heart also goes out to that mother who lost her 2 and 4 year old children. How heartbreaking for all those affected.
It's disgusting that there are 2 large generators just sitting in Central Park waiting to be used for the race when there are people without heat.
I saw that on msnbc, and immediately thought WTF? It's just butt backwards I just don't understand. Those people need legitimate help, eff those runners that need a hotel room. So aggravating...
on the news I heard that there are a lot of hotels that are refusing to remove stranded families to make room for runners.....even if the runners had reservations. They are canceling the reservations and keeping stranded families in the hotels
the news can tell you what you want to hear. People are being kicked out of hotels as we speak to make room for the runners. People in lower Manhattan are being turned away because they don't look presentable enough for them help, disgusting!
Ugh! The news is just a bunch of bushes! I am curious what else I am hearing on the west coast is a crock of poo.....

1. I returned two big, unopened bags of candy to BJ's yesterday. I don't even feel bad about it. We didn't get as many TOTers as expected, and I'd rather have the 22 bucks back in my pocket than candy sitting around the house that I will invariably eat and loathe myself for.
2. Dh flew out to Dallas yesterday for a day of like SIX interviews with this new company. They were already talking like he worked there by the end of the day. I'm excited, but also s hitting a brick. They still have to hit his number and the package has to be right for us to transplant ourselves 1400 miles away for at least 2 years, but it's looking like this might actually happen. Hold me.

Exactly!! Thank you! Particularly about the Seeing baby, not dealing with her. I actually have an opportunity to DO my hair, squeeze into my spanks, and put on my new sexy dress and heels! I do NOT want to chase around and try to keep clean a toddler in a party dress! She has been way too delicate this week.
Surprisingly, my mom said she thought it would be best. I am shocked. But not stressed anymore! Yes!
I haven't been to the gym in weeks due to general laziness, going out of town, DD's bday, and being sick last week.
I am going this morning, but it's mostly so I can take a nice long shower afterwards while DD is in the gym daycare.
Burned by the Bear
I do this too. After dealing with AF, I rather not deal with DH getting all hands on. I need an extra day or two before I'm in the mood.

Oh, hell. My periods 'last' two weeks for that very reason. By about a week and a half he's questioning me, so I say I'm still spotting. I'm terrible, I know, but I'm so fried from trying to do everything ... I have no drive at all ... being on AF gives me a little peace from him for never being in the mood. I know. I know. I'll be back at lunch with my own confession!
I haven't had a period since 2010, but when I did, AF never slowed anything down in the sex department.
DD has stopped taking a real midday nap, and won't sleep if we put her down. She won't stay asleep if we wear her out and she falls asleep in the car. Believe me, I've tried. I miss my naptimes!
But probably once a week or so she randomly falls asleep for 15 minutes or so during an activity. On the couch, in her highchair, on the potty...there's a bit of grey area when you nap transition- so don't feel guilty.
I have 2 confessions today:
1.) I went ape sh*t shopping during my appointment with the personal stylist and DH would kill me if he knew how much money I spent. I am going to have to sell some of my possessions on EBay to help pay off the newly opened Nordstrom's credit account. There were so many things that the stylist brought me that look fantastic on me and felt good wearing too. Most things were on sale but there were 3 items over $100 that I bought. I have been feeling very crappy lately, plus none of my clothes fit well anymore, so buying these items was very therapeutic for me.
2.) I am still have bladder issues at times post pregnancy and they are often worse when I am having auto-inflammatory flares. Yesterday I ran to the bathroom but still had an "accident". I had to go commando all day while wearing an above the knee skirt. I think it is time to discuss this with my Dr.
i would have been worried about having another accident and it running out the bottom of the skirt!
We got a ton of loud noisy gifts and duplicates for Gator's birthday that we are going to return. I know most of them came from Target but I am going to try and return them to TRU. Either way we will get in store credit, but the toys I want to exchange them for are at TRU. I will get more if I return to Target because of taxes, and because TRU is in the no-tax state next to us.....
shady....I know.....
No flames here at all. You can always make more $. If you feel and look better, I bet it's worth every penny that you spent. Yay you!
This is one of the reasons I want my period back! I have no excuse anymore, because I can only use I am tired so many times before he catches on!
My FFFC, I think I have to read 50 shades, everyone says it will rev up my sex drive so I bought them MONTHS ago and haven't read them. Well I think I have hit a wall and am in a dry spell and I need to read them! I miss sex and by sex I mean OMG good sex not lie on my back, get it over sex like I have been doing! Maybe that is two confessions! Either way I need to gets me a good fruck!!

I am enjoyng the May 2013 BMB...
I miss the drama we (Oct 2011) used to have when the board was full of hormonal morons. Now we have all of these smart, funny ladies here. = No Drama.
i feel the same way towards SIL. We didn't leave Gator to her if something happens to us. She feels she should be the FIRST and ONLY person that gets Gator. But one, I can't stand her. Two, she has the maturity level of a 15 year old. Three, she has MS and at times has gone blind for months at a time....and has other health issues on top of it to where it causes problems and she cannot take care of the two kids she has. And four, she parents the complete opposite than SO and I do. And I have siblings too.....there is no reason she would automatically get picked over my stable siblings (even though she thinks she would). But the look on her face was PRICELESS when it was casually mentioned while she was in earshot that if something happens to us, Gator would go to her dad's cousin and his wife (or his other cousin - the brother of the first couple - and his wife). The person I was talking to asked why and I told her that it was because they parent with the same respect and morals that we will with Gator and if for some reason either couple cannot take her, then she will go to my sister as a last resort.....we have nobody listed after that. I wish I had a hidden camera so anytime she drove me up the walls, I could relive that moment. I wasn't going to hide our wishes for what would happen to Gator.
But in a few years we will be purchasing the house that my SIL wants (my IL's). And turning the apartment in the shop (where SIL and her Hubby stay when they are in town every other week) into an office for SO since he works from home. She currently has no idea any of this is going down. It's something that has been worked out between SO, IL's and I.....and they haven't told her. I have my fingers crossed that I am around when she finds out....she is going to be livid. Then she is going to talk about how spoiled we are and how we get everything handed to us (even though we are purchasing the house, it isn't going to be given to us). And then she will put on her second face, and mentioned at least now when she stays in town she can spend more time with Gator since she will be staying at our house. And then I will casually mention the apartment is going to be an office for SO and the spare bedroom with either be a playroom or my office (unless we have another LO by then - then it will be his or her room). *** is going to hit the fan.....and I am going to enjoy EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. OF. IT!
This made me laugh! That is why I like lurking on some of the newer BMBs even though I am not pregnant and don't plan to be for awhile.
My confession is that I was supposed to go to a meeting yesterday afternoon for school and I bailed because I wanted to go to the gym. It was a voluntary meeting, but I said I couldn't go because I couldn't find anyone to watch DD. That was a total lie - I have just been feeling bad about myself and needed to burn off some Halloween candy. I feel bad about not going to the meeting, but I feel better about myself that I didn't skip my workout.
ILY! lol I'm glad I'm not alone! You can bet your ass I'm going to relish the moment my ILs find out. Because I'm really leaning towards getting the nastiness out of the way soon calling it over with them.
its really disgraceful! I can't believe it! They are making people work it who live by me (in PA 75 mi from Manhattan). Do they realize there is no gas? We have a $20 limit *if* you can even get it!! $20 is getting you nowhere and that's waiting. 2 hrs + for it! Not to mention that the hotels near the marathon are turning people away who need help and making this leave who have no place to go because they need to make room for the runners.
They want "normalcy" to return but by trying to return to normal they are blatantly ignoring those in need. And shame on those runners if they choose to run. This sole thing regarding the marathon is just wrong!
on the news I heard that there are a lot of hotels that are refusing to remove stranded families to make room for runners.....even if the runners had reservations. They are canceling the reservations and keeping stranded families in the hotels
Dallas is awesome! You will love it here! What company (if I may be so rude?)
they have 2 huge tents set up with 2 large generators. Do they realize that Staten Island, Long Island, NJ, Queens, heck even their very own Manhattan doesn't have power? That 2 huge warm tents would give hundreds of people the warmth they need? That starting a race in Staten Island is just shoving it in their faces that the race is more important?
These runners should be running with supplies instead, and giving them out those in need. I don't care how long they have been training, a natural disaster has happened! Step up and help....
Not to mention the gas we don't have to run the generators for something that doesn't need to occur at this moment. Plus the people in the race, working the marathon and watching it could ALL be helping somewhere instead.
the news can tell you what you want to hear. People are being kicked out of hotels as we speak to make room for the runners. People in lower Manhattan are being turned away because they don't look presentable enough for them help, disgusting!
