SC (saturday confessions, NOT South Carolina ;) )

reinedecajun · August 2013

Since yesterday blew huge monkey balls. Can we redo our FC???

Mine..im grumpy, every year on my birthday I get jack and it's only because it's right at school time. All our money goes to the kids school stuff and registration and clothes and ugh I get the shaft every fucking year. My husband on the other hand his bday is at tax refund time so he always gets something really nice. For example he got a Kimber 1911 for his bday this year..a fucking $1000 gun!

I guess I can just enjoy the fact that my kids will be in school, still money well spent right?
Ugh

....happy birthday!!! (is it today?)

My SC is that I'm going to work in my classroom for several hours today; not so much because there's a lot to do, but more so I can just have time to myself.

Happy early birthday! I've had the most stressful week (first week of school), so yesterday I was gone from 7am to around 8pm, and when I finally got home with the baby, my H had a bunch of people over drinking. Not really a big deal, but at that point I was just tired and Graham and I both wanted to go to bed. People were loud and some had brought their kids, who were running through my house and kept going in Graham's room waking him up. Then I realized that someone had knocked a hole in one of my effing closet doors, and my H was acting like everything was cool! So I turned into bitch mode and told everyone they needed to leave likerightthatsecond. This morning, I'm lying in bed while my H is up with Graham. Later, I plan on going out shopping, getting my hair cut, and finally buying a new phone. I'm acting like a 5 year old now, but my H still doesn't realize why I'm upset. (This was more of a vent I guess, but I had to get that out there!) I've missed you ladies! Stupid work

Yeah your totally justified..i would have been livid! Sometimes you just want to go home and not have to deal with people. I totally understand.

My SC: I opened this thread wondering why we were going to talk about South Carolina.

I also thought this was about South Carolina and didn't open it for a while.

Mine: H came home early yesterday right after I had put Cal down for a nap and settled in to catch up on TB. H wanted sex. Ugh. I tried to get into it, but all I kept thinking was how there was going to be 8 million pages to go through by the time this was over and how he was ruining my one day to myself.
He ended up not getting sex.

I had a dream I was secretly dating Norman reedus aka Daryl. I feel so guilty now that I'm awake lol
Lame confession but its early so ill have more later

WonderJess · August 2013

We moved Owen to his big boy bed last night, finally. He's 3 and a half. (in my defense he never once tried to get out and seriously loved his bed.)

I went to a consignment sale yesterday, AJ needed jammies for the winter. I also got her a pair of red chucks. They were only $3 and although they may be boys sneakers they are adorable!

I went to a childrens consignment shop for the 1st time Thursday! Obsessed now!

reinedecajun · August 2013

Im obsessed with once upon a child, I buy almost all Frankies clothes on consignment. Most of them still have tags on them.

Thats where I went! Never even heard of this place but everything was brand new... and color coordinated and that made this OCD girl very happy!!!!

I have a portfolio building photo shoot this morning and I am worried about the little girl smiling. So I brought Emma along so she can run amuck behind the camera and get this girl to smile!

breannie · August 2013

Cameron is going for sleep overs at my parents a lot in the next two months. Two out of town weddings, and Boston. I just got suite tickets for the Jets game tonight, so he is sleeping over again. I probably should stop shipping off my kid so I can do the things I want todo.

This is us too, @WonderJess. Asher turned three in June and he's still in a crib. We'll keep him in there as long as possible. He hasn't tried to climb out once and i'm not pushing it.

People have looked at me like I have three heads when I've mentioned it in the past but why rock the boat? The only reason we pretty much had to switch over was for potty purposes. He is 100% day trained and we are working on not pooping during nap time so... bummer for us but he is pretty stoked about the new setup.

Don't make her smile, just go with her flow. She doesnt have to smile or look at the camera to make a good portrait.

C&Csmommy · August 2013

I am being "whinny" on Facebook about the contractions I'm STILL having to shed light on the fact that no one is even offering to help me today while DH goes to work! We are the red headed step-children when it comes to SMIL spending time with our boy or helping at all!

She is currently staying with her daughter because her DH is OOT for 3 days and "she is a SAHM of a 1.5 year old and a 3 month old so she gets tired"! WTF I am in pre-term labor with a 1 year old and 3 year old thanks for showing your favoritism yet again!

The best part is she wrote on my status that I "need to rest and keep baby in there" no shit lady what do you think I'm trying to do!

Ok confession #2 rather than giving Cortlandt his daily Zyrtec I gave him a dose of Benadryl in hopes he will actually nap today so maybe I can rest!

Sorry for the vent/confession but I am over her!

I was THAT mom yesterday. I had to rely on my mom for transportation, which meant we went to the store right at dinner time for Em. She was flipping out and trying to reach the fruit, so I handed her a plum and grabbed a second one to use to pay. She was so happy, riding along and gnawing on her plum. It was the first time she's ever sat so long in the cart.

Well, somewhere along the way, she must have dropped her half eaten plum AND the second one (I had put it beside her) out of the cart. I have no idea where. I didn't even notice she didn't have them anymore, I was just trying to get done. It didn't occur to me they were missing when we were paying because she was trying to attack the balloons at the checkout. So I didn't pay for either one.

Somewhere, there's a grocery store worker who had to clean up slobbery plum and is shaking his head over how moms these days don't teach their kids to respect the store. $:\$ ">

snickersforeveryone · August 2013

I thought of two more!

DH is a photographer, and a pretty darn good one. Yet he's only taken two sets of professional looking pictures for us...one when she was about 3 months old, and one at Halloween. So I'm seriously considering paying someone else to take some pics. I want some new ones of us as a family, darn it! I just feel like it's stupid when he has all the equipment.

Also, the weird pregnant lady dreams have begun...I dreamed about a strip teasing elephant in a leopard print bra last night. And yes, that's a confession. I don't plan on telling ANYONE else that I dreamed about naughty pachyderms.

What Cajun said...some of my favorite pictures so far have been when the photographer caught JA with all kinds of his expressions. JA is very facial and I love one photo where he is giving the camera a wtf? look because it captured his personality. Another one you can see the wheels turning in his head like they do before mischief strikes (he was planning how to climb the chair prop)

Era: I am one of those that drops a fortune, like $800 a pop, on professional pictures because I want to really capture JA at each moment in time. We have done newborn, Easter, 6 months and 1 year. I will keep doing them bc she has taken pics that show him not just a pretty pose or set up.

I agree with both you ladies!! But the mom showed me some examples of what she wanted and the common factor was child looking at camera smiling with the parents. So I wanted to make sure she could. Andplusalso mom loves Emma and I asked her on advance if it was cool and she was actually excited. Ps I'm really happy with the way the shoot turned out! Maybe I'll post a preview!

I usually give in and let DH get most things that the he "needs" just so I don't have to listen to him go on and on about it.

BransonsBecca · August 2013

This week I test drove vans. Without my husband. Without telling him. And I called to get approved for an auto loan. Without telling him.

Actually, I haven't told him that we are buying a van, on Monday.

Oops.

reinedecajun · August 2013

Have you ever read the book? I read it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I like the movie, but the book is definately better IMO.

My SC is that the reason I POAS this morning was because I was super emotional last night. We went out to dinner with DS after our sitter canceled at literally the last minute (like, 4:59), and instead of a buffet that we'd been planning on, it turned into a 2 1/2 hour 5 course dinner with more food than 6 people could ever eat (they'd prepared for 100 people but only 25 showed up).

Anyway, DS was getting antsy and he accidentally pushed a plate off the table. There was that horrible moment after it crashed on the floor, and the woman at the next table sneered "See? That's why you get a sitter."

I was so upset that I had like a nervous breakdown in the bathroom, which is unlike me. DH was really supportive but I was so embarrassed.

Anyway, my SC is that I am That Parent who brought my kid to a dinner and broke a plate
