Last night, Girl spent the night with my parents. Perfect time for mad passionate monkey sex with Husband, right? I slept for 11.5 hours instead. No regrets. It was effing glorious.

I gotta get this off my chest...

I'm in a board meeting with several superiors, whom I'd love to impress... They're all 50+ and I'm 29. We were reviewing our bylaws when I see an unfamiliar word. Suddenly this slips out of my mouth, "what's a facsimile?"

Masters degree =/= common sense in my case.

FYI, fax is short for facsimile, apparently, and now you all know that I'm a dingbat!

@angelacz87, laughing at "I wanted it so hard!!" :'D

CnAnA · December 2013

Its ok @angelacz87. Apparently sleep surpasses my husband for me.

CnAnA · December 2013

Its just now 10pm here. I'm a premature confessor too.

I had milk and cookies for dinner last night. Confession-I drank the last of the milk and DD got water to drink with breakfast this morning.

I have a good one this week. Get ready to throw your flames.
I am reading fifty shades of Grey right now.
I am so embarrassed.

Stupid Explorer ate my comment.

As long as you're not like taking it to work or something to read in public, no judgment!

I do, however, judge the hell out of people who read it in a public place. It's porn! Porn doesn't belong in public. I don't want to see you reading/watching/otherwise engaging in porn. Period.

I made Pillsbury funfetti donut holes with DS1 yesterday and they're gone. It's just me, DS1, and DS2 in the house since DH is still underway. DS1 ate 4-5, DS2 maybe ate 1? So if that gives you any perspective... In addition to becoming a weepy mess, I've turned into the cookie/cake/donut monster. I made cookies the other day that were gone the next day too. I'm just bingeing, and it's bad.

I'm wearing my fat jeans today.

so i rarely weight myself but there is a scale in the break room at work so i hopped on today. i've lost 10 pounds. and i'm pretty sure that's solely due to my stomach flu i had last week.

and i'm drinking cold alka-seltzer cold/flu tea right now. and i'm thinking this is the most disgusting thing i've ever had. but i gotta finish it.

Chug! Chug! Chug!

@LauraT25 That doesn't seem evil at all, I think everyone worries about turning into their parents at some point. For some people that can be a good thing but for others maybe not. Don't feel bad about feeling that way. That was nice what your mother did, but I do understand why your not sure of why she did it. We didn't know why my MIL did half of what she did before her death.

Last night we went to my BFF's daughters orchestra concert, My H gave Wesley one of the sugar cookies they had there last night to keep him occupied for a few minutes until the concert started. I think the little sugar rush he had worked on him as he slept 8 hours last night. My FFFC I am thinking of giving him a small cookie again tonight to see if it really works. Momma needs her sleep, but this could backfire on me.

BabyCarryingVessel · December 2013

@LauraT25, I'm so sorry you're struggling with this. It seems to me that children feel like they're going to be either total opposites of their parents, or exactly the same as their parents. I think you recognize the behavior and you're smart enough to know when to ask for help.

Along these same lines, I have a condition where I pull my hair out. I started around age 10 just because I thought it felt good. My mom would say "quit doing that! Why do you do that?" But turns out she pulled her hair, too, but she didn't have it nearly as bad as I did. I had bald spots in grade school, so it got pretty bad. When I was in high school I finally did a little research and turns out it's a rather common condition affecting 1 in 100 people, AND it's genetic. Cosmetically, my hair looks fine, but I'll still pull strands, especially when I'm in the car, it's calming or something. So I have to make a serious effort to not do it. Sounds crazy, I know, but otherwise I'm seemingly normal, I promise! Now I'm terrified about the girls doing it, too. I hate that I get a sick feeling when I see them touch their hair (even though at this age they are just discovering things). I need to do more research to see how I can help myself, but just haven't done it. In college, I saw a doctor about it, but she just wrote me a prescription for anxiety medicine. I didn't fill it because I don't FEEL anxious or depressed in any way, and seeing my brother's abuse issues with prescriptions, I didn't want to go down that road. The really sad part is that my husband doesn't know about this, and he should because it might be an issue with the girls some day.

Anyway, I hope you don't feel alone in this; I think almost every family has some level of crazy!

We are going to a company Christmas party tonight and have to bring the baby because our sitter fell through. I fully intend on feeding him whatever it takes to keep him calm enough to stay long enough to be seen.

I'm not excited about having to endure this evening sober and with a child. Last night I went to a housewarming party mostly attended by co-workers (who will be at tonight's party as well), and more than once they all felt it appropriate to talk loudly about my vagina and pregnancy weight gain. And that was with about half as much liquor flowing as there will be tonight. So my follow-up confession is that I might be in jail by the night's end......becaaaauuuse murder.

you mean

Trichotillomania!!!

I do it too

BabyCarryingVessel · December 2013

Yep, and I hate that no one talks about it, I remember being so ashamed when I was a kid! You too?? have you found anything that helps?

scrumpfy · December 2013

For those of you having problems with the trichtillomania, please don't feel ashamed or crazy. I work in mental health. It is far, far more common than most people would imagine.
