My ex husband sent me a friend request. Im considering accepting it just so I can be nosy on him. Although every time i see his name i want to vomit, so there's that.
I'll move mine over here:
I am appearantly never happy. When my H was off work I biiitched that he needed to go back. Now he's working in a new spot he loves and he works OT on all my days off. I am exhausted and need a few minutes of downtime. He leaves before breakfast then comes home in the middle of bedtime so all he does is read a book and go relax while nurse Aubrey to sleep. I'm jealous.
I started to doze while driving to the store on Wednesday. Scared me half to death.
I'm kind of mad at my sister for never being available to hang out. She never calls to do anything and I've texted her almost everyday asking what she was doing or if she wants to do something and she always has something else going.
Sounds like you could use some serious girl time ALONE and preferably with a queen size bed!

Accept him then hide his butt so you can spy whenever you feel like it!
I am sharing my frosted flakes with AJ this morning. We are both sick and miserable, IMO if sugar filled cereal keeps her happy for right now the eat up kiddo.
My kid is eating a Oreo right now. Thanks to grandpa being here he's had more sugar this past week than i've had in the last year I sware.
I took a Viagra last night to see if it would help my defunct sex drive. I was totally expecting the SATC Samantha experience. No dice. It actually made things worse.

I told my friend I'd go to her kid's party tonight. But H wanted a date night, so I will be ducking out of the party with the excuse that Cal is sick from his shots.

When we move im going back to doing studio work with a company that does pagent pictures. My aunt knows the owner and she showed her my work and she said I was perfect for it. I'm not crazy about doing pagents or studio work, but the money is going to be better than staying freelance and i'll be able to build up my client's much more quickly this way and hopefully branch out back to being my own boss.
I am getting a bit too excited about L starting daycare in 2 weeks. I've already made plans to get s massage, work on her baby book, and clean the house. I feel guilty but will glad for some serious me time.
This happened a couple of days ago. I put Owen in his rocker chair every morning while he drinks his milk and watches PBS kids (don't worry, not the confession). I was doing dishes in the other room and when I came back I found him like this... I have not changed our routine since then.
MH is gone this weekend doing a festival and I had the best night's sleep last night without him than I've had in a while. And I cleaned without it amazingly collecting dirt all over again. Ummm I guess the FC part is I'm glad he's gone for a few days.
Even a minor event in
the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world
event.
I totally have the hots for one of my co workers. I like to go out to lunch alone, but this week I have been making plans for groups of us to go out so I can spend more time with him. I am married, and happily, so I would never go with him alone, but still... he is super fine. This morning we got to work at the same, and I saw that he brought his lunch and I was legitimately disappointed.
Sounds similar to my confession a few weeks ago . I was legit bummed I couldn't scope out my hot ex while he worked at the local art fair because I had to prep for Owen's party. No harm in looking but it was probably for the best.
My FC: I've been doing counseling/therapy for almost 2 months now. I never thought I would do therapy, but everything had gotten so overwhelming that I had no other choice. I felt like I was being pulled in a million directions and would just shatter any moment. Things have been much better since, but I am still embarrassed.
You don't need to be embarrassed at all. Life can get overwhelming, especially with an itty bitty. I'm glad you recognized that you needed some help and made the steps to get it! Way to go!

Lily fell out of her bed the other night. She thought it was hilarious. We still haven't had a chance to lower the mattress again. @-)
I've done basically nothing this week. The past two weeks were so stressful that I felt like I needed the entire week to recover. I think my arse has fused to the couch cushion.
I had an assignment due last week and it was done in plenty of time. I never got around to actually sending the email with the attachments and I didn't worry about it because my coordinator is a total flake. I later emailed saying "hey, I know you had computer problems... did you get my assignment??" and obviously she didn't. I then "resent" it later. I am going to hell.

Sometimes you need a mental health week and I think things can turn it a lot worse if you don't allow yourself some down time.
Your school confession reminded me of something I did in grad school. During my social work program I took a psych department class for kicks. There were 5 of us in the class and the entire grade was based on a research paper. The prof said he would give us a grade at the end of the semester even if the paper wasn't done yet. He "trusted" that we would turn it in when our research was done. I never did a single thing for that paper and he gave me an A+. He never asked me for it after the class and I worry that one day he'll come back and ask for it. Since not having those credits could nullify my degree I fully intend on saying I sent it and no longer have it because that computer crashed (both lies).

This is AMAZING. You're basically my hero now.
Although, it wasn't school for me. It was a work thing but I knew it was not a big deal for her to not get it. The schedule has been a disaster anyway. When she finally got it she made a huge show of telling me how much she loved it. ::snort:: Winning!

I wish there was something for women. Sometimes I feel like things are the way they are because my dh can be selfish in bed. And I'm too lazy to spice things up.
I told my friend I'd go to her kid's party tonight. But H wanted a date night, so I will be ducking out of the party with the excuse that Cal is sick from his shots.
I haven't even been able to get Austin his one year yet an it's pissing me off. I calle to make his appointment told them what I needed and that he needed to one years and they scheduled me for the 12th saying that they could still do this shots then. No go. Now I have been playing phone tag with them for bout a week to get then done. Some days I seriously think about changing their provider but Cale LOVES his doctor.

Also I am no photographer but I don't think people who have no formal training should be allowed to have a business. I have a friend who went to college for it, did her time, takes amazing pics and still has to work at a daycare full time to pay the bills bc of amateurs doing below par work. I think there should be some sort of accreditation or licensing process
(That's more of a UO but eh w/e)
I agree it sucks that the market is saturated with bad amateur photographers. However, I don't think formal training is necessary in order to be a good photographer and run a business. My husband is a self-taught photographer. He went to school for engineering, but had always had an interest in photography. His hobby later turned into a side business. He just read a ton of books, online forums, joined photography organizations, watched workshops on DVD's, invested in good equipment and practiced, practiced, practiced. I know a ton of other great photographers who haven't had any formal training either. I do feel for your friend though. It is difficult to be a full time photographer these days.
My FC is that I have been contracting every five mintues for about two weeks. Now that it's okay for him to come out if he chose everything but the consistent back pain has stopped, and of course the lack of sleep from the pain. Still functioning after two week of only six to eight hours the whole week. I kinda feel like my body is picking on me this time around. That and I am a little jealous of my sister who is due the same day as I am and is in early stages of labor this morning. I just want to hold my little man and know that after everything this time around he is healthy and okay. Oh and my pregnancy hormones are getting the better of me. I still don't know weather to cry or be mad at DH for laughing this morning when I told him I couldn't feel my hip. HAHA DH I think that only reason you got away with it was cause you were still mostly asleep.

My FC is that while we are done having kids there is a selfish piece of me that hopes for an "oops" and it is a girl. I am blessed with 4 wonderful, healthy boys and at 40 know I am done having babies, but sometimes grieve for the daughter I won't have.
My FFCis that I'm a freaking hormonal monster today. We've been at my inlaws house for a week and are finally heading home today. I would be super pumped if my daughter hadn't decided that her car seat is the devil and will probably screech and whine for the five hour drive home. Can I please book a plane ticket? I think I should get a special life pass for the next 7 months for growing two humans. Seriously, I'm in a mood.

I agree 100%. It's so hard to be a photographer when everyone and their momma can just go out and buy the next best DSLR and put it on auto and take some pictures with no clue as how to really use it, edit them or print them. If you want to be a photographer do your time doing studio work and actually get some hands on experience. There is something to be said for having to suffer doing studio work with pimply face teenagers and families with 10 kids running around lol!!!!
Pinkangelmoon* not directed twoards your husband at all. At least he practiced, which is the most important thing! Hes super talented anyway, I love the stuff you post of your kids!!!!
I really want to get a bottle of wine for myself tonight to wrap up this God awful week. I found out last night that one of my 17 year old client was killed in a murder-suicide by the father of her baby. I''m still shocl. I am pretty positive I'm miscarrying but still have a small piece of guilt that I'd be doing something "wrong".
If it makes you feel better I got seriously wasted when I was pregnant for my daughter, and I found out I was pregnant a week later. She's now my straight A honor student. Not condoning drinking while pregnant but in your case a glass of wine isn't going to hurt. Hugs.

I only have 2 boys but we are also done. But i also grieve for the daughter i will never have, i always wanted the same relationship with a daughter as i have with my own mom
Seeing pictures of Caz makes me want to have another one now....but I know I'm just being crazy.
This is me. I finally talked myslef into waiting until next summer/fall to start TTC but, that went out the window because EVERYONE I know are getting ready or just had a baby. Now if the husband will get on board.

It's starting to scare me that my LO hasn't said any words yet, and I know it shouldn't since all babies develop at their own speeds. But there are so many of y'all whose kids are saying 6-10 words, and I'm starting to fear she's not going to be as intelligent as they are. It's horrible, and I'm sure it's not going to be anything like I fear, but I just can't seem to stop comparing. X_X

I also got drunk and smoked a j the day before I finally decided to test and got my bfp. I know some people that continue to drink until 8 weeks. I wouldn't feel guilty. You've had a bad week! Cheers!

My husband has not gone to his appointment for the big "snip snip"..he keeps putting it off and blaming it on work. I know he wants one more kid, but honestly I dont think I can handle it body wise. It's taken me a year to get back to normal and carrying Frankie was murder. So I pretty much have a lifetime supply of Trojans with spermicide under my bed for just that reason!
My kid rarely stays in one place long enough to watch TV. Sometimes Sesame Street works. Last night Magic Mike worked. Oh yeah. But only for the awesome strip scene. We both lost interest after buahahahaha

I have to say some people are just born with that photographers eye and others are not. Even taking classes might not completely help.
I do think its stupid though, if someone decides to start their own business, is an amateur and charges more for a 1 hour session than the person who took my wedding photos and has been in business for years. It's laughable they think they can charge that much when starting their business.
I agree with this. I know that the photography thing has come up a bunch of times on this board since we have quite a few ladies (and their husbands) that are in this profession. But again I consider photography an art and believe that you have a gift or you don't and sometimes schooling won't help you. Also, if someone is willing to spend a sh!t ton of money to pay for amateur pictures that's their problem. No different than an employer that hires someone with less education for a position in their company because they want to save a buck.
I agree Lauriski, if they want to waste their money it's whatever. It just makes it hard for people who REALLY do this for a living.
I still don't have baby fever. I view it as more of a necessary evil to have a family and so Emery won't be alone in the world (she still may who knows) but I have a year to warm up to the thought of TTC again. For me TTC is so emotionally draining. I'm so bad at letting things just happen and I become a nervous wreck. And I'm kinda scared seeing all the MC's on the board. I've been through it. I never want to go through it again.

Go girl! Nothing to be embarrassed about! I had one session after LO was born and it really helped me feel better. I will probably go back after these babies are born because I've read that postpartum depression can be worse with twin pregnancies.
