August 2012 Moms

Boring confessions.

Get them out of your system before tomorrow.

I don't want to read: "I don't like the color purple and SO bought me a purple shirt! I pretended to laugh at my mom's joke! I really don't love BJs!" tomorrow, MAKE 'EM JUICY.

Here are my boring ones:

SO's mom keeps giving me $100/week to take care of R. I tell SO I try to refuse it, but I don't. It's $100, I'm feeding him, entertaining him all week, driving him wherever, it's mine.

I regret signing R up for this gym camp thing all day because he's there all day and I don't have a mother's helper. There's no one here to entertain my kid while I pee and it blows the big one.

I had two donuts this morning. I took a picture of my breakfast for the FB girls and didn't show what was inside on purpose. IT WAS TWO DONUTS. There. That felt good.

I hung a shirt I decided I didn't want in the bath aisle today at Target.

  • Work has been full of drama today and I'm dreading SO's mom and aunts coming over tonight.  Last weekend when she saw SO he told her I gave Micah Motrin because he was teething (his first tooth, finally) and she threw a fit.  Seriously like I'm killing my baby because I should've given him tylenol and Motrin is the devil. Ugghhhh I can't deal with her tonight!!

  • I have two.

    1) We are leaving for a play date in a few minutes and I look like .  I'm going to tell them I couldn't shower after swim because the water is out (which is true) and that's why I look horrid.  In reality, I had no plans to shower (we rinsed off in the showers after swim.)

    2) I pumped 7.5 oz today while G was napping!

  • I always put stuff in random places in Target. By time I get to the front of the store, I've decided I don't want it anymore! I figure it gives the employees something to do, job security!

    I think I'm over the Bump and FB.  Having to jog between the two blows.

    Yeah, I prefer TB to FB. I think once the changes are implemented, we will all adjust and forget the old format.

  • I got even less done at work trying to refresh TB constantly yesterday afternoon than I do just lurking daily. You would think it would be a cue to put away the phone and buckle down, but no, I couldn't. I never want to see that Maintenance Mode page again!

  • I made blackberry pie bars that I was going to hold off eating until after dinner. I had one and shared half with Howell and then because I shared, had to have another.

    I don't think I have met you yet, glad you are out of lurking. What is your LO's name? I apologize if I have met you on here before, I just don't recognize you now.

    I asked the clerk at lululemon to put 2 crops, 2 tanks and 3 pairs of socks inside the hoodie I bought in case DF peeked inside my bag...... I told Mike I had only bought a new hoodie, a sports bra and a hat....

    [I honestly don't think he'd care. I used my money for the purchase... Which was ridiculously extravagant... But I didn't really want to have to justify myself if it really came down to it. He doesn't limit my spending or control my finances, but.... I totally went over board!].

    I love this!
  • I brought lunch from home but instead went and ate 2 beef n cheddars from arbys. I do not regret that decision.
  • imageBPaws:
    I may have eaten a ridiculous amount of raspberries in the last half hour.... Like 4 170g containers full. Also.... I registered for a run in September. I asked a few friends to do it with me. One friend has already registered, the other was going to today. She sent me a text saying she couldn't finish the registration because she didn't have a credit card. I had forgotten this part, she doesn't have one because her credit is SO BAD that nobody will give her one. She is so far in debt that she has to change her phone number every few months to avoid creditors. It's bad, but she really doesn't care. My confession is that I lied and told her that I also didn't have a credit card so she wouldn't ask to use mine. I didn't feel comfortable just saying "no" so I told her I had to borrow DF's friends credit card to do it. I do not want her having my credit card info, and I honestly don't trust her to pay me back if I paid her registration.
    I have been known to get terrible tummy aches while berry picking before, it is quite the happy sick feeling.

  • I don't understand why there was such an uprising over the format changes. And I hate change! Sure it's shocking at first, but our brains adapt pretty quickly.

  • I'm jealous of Bpaws and her lululemon purchase.  

    I made a practice cake for DD's b-day ( it is a healthier one and I wanted to make sure I wasn't feeding my daughter cardboard on her birthday.). Well I've eaten the entire cake.  H doesn't eat cake and neither does DD...yet, so it was all mine!

    Me neither. I do hope a lot of you hang around. We have a pretty good group here. There isn't even anyone who annoys me.

    I want to try it with every fruit now. it's so much easier than making a pie. I halved the recipe and made it in an 8X8 pan (which it looks like she did too) and it's a better size too. We usually never finish a whole pie since it's just two of us (and howell if we share).

    I came out on a recent lurker roll call and will likely still fly low on the radar but apparently love y'all more than work...and I actually do like my work. My LO is Elisabetta NN Betty, she's our first and maybe only. She's a late Aug babe. Glad to be sharing with you ladies now. Just hope the board revives after yesterday's crapout!

  • My confession...

    We have NO MONEY left until we get paid next week because we are paying for DH school out of pocket, but last night we bought Lobster because they were B1G1 at Publix lol! 

    Guess I can't buy some more stuff for Landens party! OHH AND WE ARE ENJOYING LOBSTER FOR DINNER!!!

  • I don't want to drive down to visit our parents this weekend. I just don't. It's FIL's birthday, so we have to, but I hate doing it. No good reason, either, our parents are good people and the things that annoy me about them are trivial and ridiculous. I wish I could kick my own HINEY [fck you, bump censor!] into being a more sociable and forgiving person, I feel like social interaction is so much more effing work for me than it is for other people. I've been working at it so hard for so long, and I feel like I only get inches better at it. Ugh.

    I wish I could just spend the day drinking margaritas and doing yoga. People are exhausting.

    You know, I totally get what you are saying.&nbsp; I consider myself to be a people person meaning I pretty much get along with everyone unless you are just rude and ignorant (or annoying), but dayum...having to be "on" sometimes to interact with people?&nbsp; It's tiring.



    EXACTLY. I like people, I like making friends. I like being liked, I like telling jokes. But...I don't know, after a certain amount of time I just want to slink away and be with my little nuclear family or on my own. The worst is when you run out of conversation, and one of my IL's goes, "sooooo...what else?"

    I know they're just being friendly, but I'm like WTF WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO SING AND DANCE HERE????

    I'm lame, guys. That is all.

    Aggie... I hear you. I feel like the innate social thing that everyone else has is missing in my brain. I feel like I finally understand the rules, and then someone changes the game without telling me and I'm suddenly scrambling to keep up. I hate having to actively try to not be the awkward bunny in a group of people, when everyone else seems to just "do it". It's frustrating and uncomfortable...

    I like being home with H, where the only social interaction involves me speaking to Henry or the dogs...


    Ok, right??? We'd be good IRL friends, my besties are the ones who are A OK with extended silences or mindless tv viewing. My mom used to be baffled that my middle school best friend and I would have sleepovers where we spent hours just quietly reading our own books.

  • I'm going to try to come out of lurking. I posted kind of regularly a while ago and stopped when I moved to FB, but now I'd like to post here again too. 

    Anyway, my boring confession is that I may be addicted to selling things on craigslist. Anytime my DD no longer uses something I get so excited to sell it, but I always buy her something with whatever money I get. Pretty boring.

  • I am a sahm that when five pm hits I totally check out. I am having a beer and my son is bored walking in his walker because he wants me to entertain him. He is whining, but at 445 I changed his diaper, fed him, and clocked out. I just watch the clock and wait til dad gets home. Then I act productive just before I hand him off.
  • I'm meeting some girl friends for happy hour. I'm giddy I was invited! I also look hot.

  • I've been letting ds use me as a pacifier while he naps, not just to comfort him but to get out of doing yard work with DH. 
  • I adjust DDs toys into comfortable positions because if Toy Story were real I would want them to like me. Yeah it's dumb.

    Lila is having myringotomy tubes inserted in 2 weeks and I don't feel guilty that another pedi patient's surgery was bumped so Lila's could be done before I go back to work. It's one of the perks of FIL being a physician and in the same medical practice as the pedi ENT.

    I always want everyone to like me...if they don't or if I think they don't, I get all awkward and anxious.  Really though, everyone usually likes me and I don't understand why I worry or care so much!

      This is 100% me!  I am so socially awkward which is why I love TB.  I can take my time typing what I'm going to say.  If I think it will offend someone or make someone not like me, I opt not to post it.  We would all be friends IRL.  :)
