Tuesday Confessions?

lancyjo · January 2013

I have a couple confessions, and they're just not going to wait until Friday. These don't have to be flame-free, because, let's face it, our confessions are never really flame free!

1) I just spent +/- $50 on Aria's birthday outfit. Dress + hair bow for the party and pictures, bloomers for the cake smashing photo shoot, and for cake smashing at the party. I'm still contemplating buying shoes. Whoops.

2) I've been letting Aria take her bottle in her crib. ::winces:: Long story short, it's the only way she'll take the bottle these days, and we happened upon it by accident. It's not a habit I wanted to start, but I'll take it for now if it gets the necessary amount of formula in her. I'll kiss her, lay her in her crib, and hand her the bottle. She'll take it, drink the whole thing in about 10 minutes, toss it across the room, give a happy little squeal, and go to sleep. Every. Single. Time.

3) Thanks to hubs being sick, me being sick, and AF showing up, I've only DTD 3 times in the last 3 weeks. ::hangs head in shame::

Confessions anyone?

DH is doing a happy dance because we have DTD more than 3 times in the last 3 weeks!

I play with my nose all day. It itches like crazy (dry) so I feel like I'm constantly touching my nose. I swear every single time I do, someone walks by so I feel like I got caught picking my nose!

I am really uncomfortable holding my niece. She is just over a month but I just don't like to hold her. She fits wrong and doesn't snuggle like Allison did. It makes me wonder if it is because she isn't mine and if I really want another baby.

That might be more times than me... not sure, but I still give you a Yes for 3 times.

My confession- I have no freaking idea how to get my child to do independent playtime without screaming her little head off every. single. time. She is screaming and clawing at my feet as I type this. I just can't take her not being able to do it anymore and I feel like I'm about to lose it. I just need a freaking minute while you are awake in which you are not attached to my body, child!!!!!!

I don't like my DD's name.

My DH and I had gone back and forth on a couple names, and we hadn't decided on one when DD was born. I think I was too tired from the birth to fight for the one I really wanted, so we ended up going with the name DH liked better. Now I really don't like it and secretly wish we had gone with the name I liked.

MrMrsandBaby · January 2013

Oh, also...I hate the term AF. I don't know why but every single time I see it I just roll my eyes (and I've used it in the past because it is the common way to refer to your period on TB).

I have always thought it was stupid, from the very first time I heard a friend refer to her period that way.

I always make my son's formula bottle before I go to bed. Yep forget all those instructions about tossing after 2 hours. He drinks it 8 hours later.

I'm a horrible mother.

countrygirl0607 · January 2013

1) my house is a mess it looks like a bomb went off and i dont care

2) dh and i are going away this weekend and he has other ideas other then sleeping and i just want to sleep.

3) and i dont feel bad for leaving my mom with a sick kid

I don't like ds2's name. His nickname fits him. But his real name got super popular the year after I had him and it drives me crazy.

christinak22 · January 2013

My confession: DH and I almost NEVER DTD more than once a week. I'd like to maybe...twice, but once is fine. I told this to my aunt (who's only 37) and she freaked out like our marriage is on the downfall. Thanks.

2chatter · January 2013

I have a double standard. I buy plum packets for rushed mornings, but would rather DS eat oatmeal, etc. When DH feeds DS I want HIM to make the oatmeal and *I* want to be able to use the Plum packets.

(in my defense, I get myself and the three kids ready before work then drive them, other than DH feeding DS from time to time when he is in town, so I don't see why DH cannot mix up cereal).

And....

I should be working, but the spreadsheet I was working on was making my head hurt. So TB it is.

Jen0204 · January 2013

1) My house is a disaster and I just don't care.

2) I'm not looking forward to the girls birthday parties this weekend. I really wish we were just doing a small thing with just our immediate families instead of two bigger parties like this.

3) I am exhausted and overwhelmed and wish I could have just one weekend all to myself - no H, no kids. H took them to my MILs on Sunday for a couple of hours to give me some down time and instead of relaxing I went to the grocery store and cleaned for 2 hours. Free time is so rare that when I get it I feel like I need to be productive and therefore I never really relax. I miss "me" time.

Yes! Especially since I actually have an Aunt Flo.

Well, I hate it being referred to as a "Period" because it's not technically that either, lol

I think this is the hardest part of being a parent. I really miss "me" time, which is why I really resent people who judge me for wanting some time away from my kids even though I work full time. Work time is not "me" time. I love my children more than life itself, and I love my husband too, and I absolutely LOVE spending time with them, but sometimes I just want to do what I want to do without thinking about anyone else.

Yes, yes, yes. You really have to force yourself to have "me" time, even if it means living in squalor sometimes. I do feel better about myself when my house is clean, but I still much prefer to sit on the couch with a magazine and a cocktail sometimes.

christinak22 · January 2013

I have another one:

i don't capitalize on facebook. almost never, except if i'm writing something to someone i don't know very well or i know will judge me for it.

At this point work time is me time! My job is easy and pretty mindless so it's the calmest time of the day for me normally. H gets pissy when I tell him I need some time without him around because he's usually just playing on his computer anyway but sometimes I just want to be ALONE. If I'm going to my parent's house on the weekend I'll usually leave for there Saturday morning while he's at work and spend all afternoon there so at least once or twice a month he has the place to himself. And he has no problem whatsoever with doing nothing and just enjoying himself. God forbid he use that time to clean up and surprise me with a freshly cleaned condo. I wish my brain could be rewired to be more like his, although then we'd be screwed!

Stopping BFing and pumping has caused my libido to skyrocket. Call me Lancy. DH is thrilled.

I haven't put one ounce of thought into DD's birthday.

I'm seriously, seriously pissed that it's only Tuesday.

We're flying to visit my family in DC this weekend and I really just want to ditch my family and spend the entire time at the zoo. After DD's love affair with the fish tank at Bass Pro, I think she'll really enjoy the invertebrate house, and I don't feel like seeing my cousins and aunts and uncles.

This exactly

#2 I've been home sick for the last two days, just today Ive realized my underwear are inside out, and I haven't showered since Sunday

Oh, you picked a great weekend. The weather is supposed to be fabulous!!! Like mid 60s!!! Very rare for a January weekend! Have a great time! DC is the best (totally unbiased opinion here. )

MrsLindinger0905 · January 2013

I really need a new laptop. DH wants to wait until my credit card is paid off (not too bad, like $800) or we get our income tax return, whichever comes first. I'm fed up with this piece of junk and I'm about to go buy one and tell him to suck it up. We'll pay my credit card off in a month or two so I don't get what the big deal is. We usually save up for everything we need to buy but this thing is on its last leg! The battery doesn't work unless I keep it plugged in, the touch pad is broken, and there's a huge crack in the screen that keeps spreading. Not to mention the fact that it's old and slow and I can't even look at pictures on my hard drive without it giving me problems. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the fight I'll have with DH if I get one on my own...

Maybe that's what's wrong with me?! I'm only pumping twice a day now and I'm horny all. the. time. DH is in heaven.

I never use AF outside of TB, and before this I always thought it was dumb, too. I think being here has kind of desensitized me to it.

I am guilty of #2.... And I'm ok with that.

NatnDyl · January 2013

Let me just give a big amen to the "when is me time" discussion. I did get a pedicure this past weekend and it was so worth it.

Also pissed that its only Tuesday.

I confess that I'm being all judge-y today. There is a girl in another department who is about 6 feet tall, wearing a mini skirt and gigantic heels. We work in a law office. This is not appropriate.

I also confess that my open letter yesterday worked and Connor only woke up once in the night! Happy mommy over here!

HattieLove · January 2013

I'm playing Sims 3

Edit: I'm playing sims 3 in my maternity jeans. All my other pants are in the laundry. Because I haven't done laundry in so long.

jmccall79 · January 2013

All of you who are DTD, I really want to stab you all...in the nicest way possible of course (I'll stab, instead of punching you in the face)! That's my confession!

redheadscu · January 2013

I spend an unreasonable amount of time scouring the internet for adoptable rescue dogs.

Katechavez · January 2013

I am sssssoooooo boring that I have no confessions. Sigh, why can't I be cool like all of ya'll.

pinkshades05 · January 2013

I confess that I haven't really done anything around the house, barely showered, but I insisted that DH do all of the dishes the other night before going to bed even though he had to go to bed and wake up for work. In my head, I don't get to pick and choose what I get to do everyday besides watch DD. So he can afford to stay up late and do dishes. That probably doesn't make sense, but I'm proud and feel guilty about it.

mkarns · January 2013

I miss Colton when he sleeps, so sometimes I go get him if he is just moving around a lot and tell DH that he was awake. I put him in our bed so I can sleep with him. I can't help it...I just love that lil guy.

jldubb0626 · January 2013

I went to dinner with my mom tonight and Eli tagged along. They were out of whole milk so I got Eli chocolate milk instead.

I LOVE Sims 3. And I still wear my maternity jeans on a regular. They are so much more comfy than my non maternity jeans.

Meganequine · January 2013

I always think of good confessions in the shower. . . and then forget them by the time I see a confession post.

Here's all I've got. . my H and I hardly ever DTD. He doesn't like to come to bed early and I instituted a "we have to start before 10" rule. We maybe average once a week.

Once a week is "hardly ever"?! Lol, I wish we had sex that often.
