I'm a little scared of this today after yesterday's UO thread. For the newbies, Flame Free Friday Confession, but it's rarely flame free, so don't yell at the meanie faces when you get flamed!

I love it when my husband goes out of town because it means I can lay in bed, not get dressed and watch my favorite shows without anyone bothering me or calling me a bum.

ETA: I know I can be lazy. I embrace it.

Last night my toddler peed in her bath the second I put her in it. I was too tired to care so I just had her stand up while I washed her hair. I used fresh water from the faucet to rinse her off so I count that as a win.

I threw up my lunch yesterday and when I could finally eat again I ate an ENTIRE box of mac and cheese!

I thought the entire box was the recommended serving size ;-)

Urine is sterile. It's fine.

Yeah, that's why I couldn't get it up to care. I'm sure a good mom would have emptied the bath and started over though.

I spent the last week taking care of a friend who had surgery. As much as I love her, and will sorely miss her, I will NEVER visit her again so long as she stays in that apartment. It was damp, dank, buggy, and filthy. I will not expose my child to that or myself to that again. I was uncontrollably itchy by the time I got on the plane to come home. And once I got home? Magically, the itching stopped. I was completely skeeved out by her housekeeping and choice of apartment.

Tricia0209 · August 2013

I'm in a wedding today...I love my friend but I am so tired I wish I could have a chair to sit in when she gets married

also I will probably have a sip of a mimosa this morning.

megmac15 · August 2013

It's pretty much a staple for at least one meal per day. I have boxes and boxes-nothing else sounds good! Mac and cheese, that is.

Our firm brings in donuts on Fridays, and today I took the last one. My office neighbor and I take turns going to get them and bringing one back for the other person. Today I ate the last one and then lied and told him they were out when I got there. To make me feel worse, 15 minutes later he came into my office and brought me a donut. He walked down the street to a store and bought some for us.

I have ate more junk food and less healthy foods (anything that helps minimize my nausea) more this past month than I usually do in a week, or maybe even a day. As I was super healthy before my all day MS came along.

I'm with you. I normally eat very healthy, well balanced food, but since the MS hit, all I've been able to stomach are potatoes in some form or another. DH is delighted because we haven't eaten potatoes in any form in years. I found these smiley potato things in the frozen food section and I had just those for dinner last night.... I regret nothing....

This sounds like me, except I ate Poptarts for dinner last night.

I have no desire to be at work, especially because I will be quitting in a month ish to move an hour from here to be closer to my Husbands family. I wish I cared that I am leaving them at one of the busiest times, but honestly they have had every chance in the world to hire me and I have been an exemplary employee (2 reviews that were glowing and told that they are working on a place for me here, have heard that for 6 months), and they still have not moved me out of temp status. I am tired of busting my ass for nothing more than a measly paycheck that I am worth more than (based on education and experience, as well as software skills).

I am looking forward to temping on short term assignments until the baby comes because it will be so much less stress than what I am dealing with now. My agency has already set up 2 assignments that are 2 months each, that pay $11 more an hour than I am making now and it is M-Th hours, and one of them was willing to consider hiring me on after the baby comes and I am ready to go back to work if it works out well.

Donniesgrrl · August 2013

My 2nd FFFC I ate half a box of lucky charms for dinner last night and followed it up with a bowl of ice cream, I regret nothing LOL

bumpuser9058414 · August 2013

I'm scared to step on the scale at my appointment on Wednesday. Only carbs sound good to me really and I've been so hungry and eating so I don't get nauseous. I've also been too tired and nauseous to exercise. I'm already overweight so I'm only supposed to gain 15-20 pounds and I'm nervous. I'm really planning on eating well and exercising once I get out of first tri but I'm just really bummed about it.

ETA: fixed grammatical error

I have my first ultrasound Monday and as much as I absolutely love my mother in law, I do not want her to go! I wanted it to just be me & my husband. But neither one of us can tell her no! So I just have to suck it up.. But now I am not looking forward to it as much as I wanted!

You need to learn to tell her no. She will end up running your child's life if you do not take control of the situation.

Did one of you invite her? If you did, then you should let her come. It's really not that big of a deal in the big picture... you'll have other ultrasounds and lots of big moments with your baby. But if you didn't invite her and she just decided to come, I think that's a sign of a bigger issue regarding boundaries.

I am wearing yoga pants at work and eating McDonald's breakfast right now. I really hope I don't regret my breakfast but I was finally hungry I had to take advantage

this. If you dont grow a pair now with her, she's going to ruin your family life.

This is our 2nd and she was the same way with our 1st. I really do love her which is why I can't tell her no. She is very very good to us and is a wonderful grandmother. And she isn't pushy in our family life at all. She's just excited to be a grandmother again! When I found out I was pregnant, she was the only person I was excited to tell! I'd like for me and my hubby to get to see this little one alone first, but I know it's really no big deal. I just wanted to say it out loud since I had been holding it in!

KTdid81 · August 2013

We had our first u/s on Wednesday and I was surprised that I was about 3 lbs less than what I usually weigh in there.....I swear their scale lies anyways.....I'm always about 4 lbs lighter at home. Either way I was happy that my beginning pregnancy weight was a little less than expected.

I ate a hot pocket and and ice cream sandwich for dinner. I wanted mac & cheese (that is all I want) but we were out. Boo.

Also, my co-worker and I (she's the only one who knows I am pregnant at work) came up with a load of lies to tell my boss since I have a dr's appt each week until the end of the month. I don't feel bad about it either.

lindsey1031 · August 2013

I had a root beer float last night even though I knew it would mess up my stomach and make me feel sick and bloated. It was so good. I only moaned for about half an hour afterwards and then competed with my dogs for stinkiest gas in the house. Thank goodness my H was working late and didn't have to suffer through that!

I woke up this morning and was like, "a root beer float sounds really good!" I've held off so far, but it's not looking good...

Oh girl, if I were you, I would be totally honest and tell her at this point you want it to be just you and DH! She just may think you totally want her there. I'm sure she'd understand.

I know your completely right, she's an awesome person. I just don't want to hurt her feelings! She's a wonderful grandma and I couldn't ask for a better mother in law, which is why I probably won't say anything!

My hubby and I moved into our new house last week and are still cleaning out our old one. Him and his sister own it and are planning on repainting and recarpeting asap. I was supposed to meet my SIL there today to finish getting stuff out and begin cleaning but I have such a bad headache! I texted her apologizing....but I don't feel that bad. I haven't had a moment to rest since the move and I just want to be lazy!!
Plus I slept like shit last night. I feel so guilty but my couch is so fantastic right now.

Jen071407 · August 2013

I'm a completely worthless mother to my girls today. Feel like crap, trying to clean for DD2's Bday party tomorrow, and they have more energy than I can handle!

Alhuffman · August 2013

I don't want to tell my older sister that I'm pregnant because she's going to get super-annoying. She's about to have her third in Sept and has been pestering me about giving her new baby a cousin. I know I need to get over it, but I am holding out for as long as possible so I can keep this peace of not having her bugging me.

Donniesgrrl · August 2013

DS3 Birthday is next weekend, we are doing it at a park because I have no ambition to get my house company ready. I also don't want to clean up after the 12 kids that aren't mine and always manage to trash the kids playroom and not clean it up afterwards. I am completely looking forward to the only clean up being walking to a dumpster at the end of the party.

The party will be outside in the backyard, but I know kids and parents will need to use the bathroom so I've got to get at least part of the house clean! Clean up after shouldn't be too terrible, thank goodness! You've got a good plan!

angelsnight · August 2013

I had been dying for a hot fudge sundae so last week after work I stopped and got one, came home and ate it and disposed of the evidence before MH got home so he wouldn't whine that I didn't get him one.

A few days later he wanted to go to the racetrack that night but I wasn't feeling well. He was sad I wouldn't go with him, but he went alone. He came home with hot fudge sundaes for us both and I pretended as though it was my first one.

linzerd · August 2013

I watched "The Help" last night, and even though I've seen it before, and cried the first time, I was crying uncontrollably at the end this time. I'm even tearing up again right now, thinking of it again. So so sad when Skeeter's mother fires Constantine and you can see it in her face how hard and upset she was herself to walk over and close the door on her. It's just SO horrible what those people were put through in Jackson, MS. I can't even imagine. Ugh and then when Aibileen has to say goodbye to little Mae, friggin heartbreaking!!

Umm...I hate to break it to you, but I'm pretty sure that sort of treatment happened in lots of places, not just Jackson.

Rommel200 · August 2013

I keep sending my poor sweet husband out of the house to buy what ever food I am willing to eat. Last night he went out 3 separate times after getting home late from work. It is only made worse by the fact that I stay in bed ALL day. My MS is terrible! But I feel like it is no excuse for constantly asking for favors.

It's your DH's mom - I think he should talk to her! Unless he really wants her there, which is a diffrerent issue altogether. Everyone's family dynamic is different, especially when it comes to in-laws, but confronting my own mom is a piece of cake compared to confronting my MIL. In this situation, I'd definitely suck it up and do it if my DH didn't have the stones, but I really think he should be the one to handle it.

Hope Elizabeth · August 2013

Your hubby needs to take responsibility and tell her nicely that the first one is just going to be the two of you. If she is the wonderful lady you're describing she will understand and take it well. It's important for you to honest about your feelings, that's the best way to grow a deeper healthier relationship with your family members

I MISS sleeping in! Ever since week 5, I haven't been able to sleep in because I wake up anytime between 5am - 7am so hungry and nauseous! It would work if I went to bed before 11pm! Sleep this trimester SUCKS for me!
