I decided to resign from my job because I work for a set of ass hats and I heard my boss say in a recorded conference call that I resigned so I could collect govt assistance because I'm pregnant. I seriously wanna punch him in the nuts. I don't even know how to address that. He seems to have this idea that all black women who get pregnant plan to live off of public assistance.
Sorry you had to go through that. But I know things will get so much better, you already are going to have a beautiful baby soon. And I know new opportunities will be ahead for you too .
I hear someone shoveling my driveway and walk. I should probably go thank them but it's too cold... I'll just take them some baked goods tonight -as I creep out my Window to see who it is
Wahhhh apparently my card was involved in the Target thing. My bank decided to close my card without telling me. So when I went to use it I looked like the ass who can't get her shit straight at the register.
@tferr02 I hope all is okay with your sister and that she gets the care she needs!!!
We decided on a name too!! DH and I had a repeat level 2 yesterday to make sure an amniotic band was really nothing. All is good on that front thank goodness and I'm so excited we finally agreed on a name! Callan Joseph McDuffee. I thought Callen was a little more masculine but Callan is traditional Gaelic spelling so that's what we're going with. We're keeping it a secret from the rest of the world but man if feels good to tell you ladies!! I'm SO relieved the battle is over!!
And I got a funny Christmas gift from a student today. Made me laugh...
I have so much to do because we are leaving for Indy tomorrow for DH's Christmas and I am still laying in bed because my back is killing me. I still have 2 gifts to buy because his sister and brother suck and didn't tell us what they want until TODAY and I have to visit my sister in the hospital because they aren't releasing her until tomorrow. This sucks didilly ucks Flanders!

You ladies also inspired me to cap off my husband's night of running errands with a BJ. If he knew you were responsible for putting the idea into my head, I'm sure he'd posting to thank all of you
I did the same thing! BJs are roughly 50% of our sex life these days. Penetration is uncomfortable. X_X
I wish it was only 50% it's 100% for us. No big O for mama. Is it inappropriate to remind peanut of this when he's older and saying in ruining his life??? " yea we'll listen ya little asshole, when I was pregnant I couldn't have sex at all!!! Tell me how unfair your life is!"
@deidremaria is there an HR deparment? He is a DB, and you have "witnesses" and it's recorded. I think you would have some kind of suit against him if you want to pursue that, but if it will affect you sis I can see why you may not want to.
He's the president of the company so there is no one (at the job that is) to report him to. I don't even think that they're aware that their conference calls are recorded. I'm the quality assurance specialist there so it's as easy as logging on to the server, searching for someone's extension and having access to all that person's calls. I'm not going to pursue it though. It's a waste of time and I don't need anything to cause me stress right now. Just one of those unpleasant things I'll have to take with me for the rest of my life.
OMG OMG OMG! Do you remember how I was literally *just* complaining about how I've been to exhausted to make cookies the other day? Guess what arrived in a giant box filled with presents and our stockings??????
THIS is the kind of Mom I want to be! Also, I will probably still end up making said cookies because now that I've had a couple, I know this box is not enough to last more than the weekend

I'm sorry, that totally sucks! I wonder if that's how DH's card was compromised. I noticed a couple days ago that someone used his card number to sign up for some sketchy online money-making venture in London and we had to cancel his card. Three of his coworkers also had their card numbers stolen around the same time. People suck sometimes.
@stace0616 I'll trade you my box of assorted chocolate cookies for your sugar cookies. Those look delicious! I'm a cookie addict this baby isn't helping either.
Seriously, spritz are the only cookies my Mom makes. She openly admits to being lazy and hating baking (whereas I usually love it). Next year, I want to host a cookie exchange! I started one at my old job like 3 years ago and it went over SO well, plus you came away with like 3 dozen different cookies. It was awesome!
I love cookies. Baby is doing the cha cha in my belly over the pre-dinner combo of these plus the frosted sugar cookies I bought last night haha!
DH is working the night shift. I get really anxious at night alone (every noise is someone trying to kidnap me). He hasn't had to work nights since his military days, in which I would drown my anxiety in wine and call all my friends and talk until I fell asleep.
What am I suppose to do now? Call them sober? Boring.

I decided to treat myself to cookies (obvi) and marathon of all the Christmas episodes of "The Office" on Netflix. Do something fun for you tonight!

Get a doggy!
I have one!! And I talk to her often. She listens. Unfortunately, it's already her bedtime. She's pretty much MIA for the rest of the night.

DH is at a play in Cleveland with his mom, ugh, so I made myself a crescent roll veggie pizza for dinner (I HAD to have this - first craving? lol, weird) and I have eaten like, 1/3... I might have more. It's veggies.. And I made it with Greek yogurt! Lol.
@Colleenswerb Holy shit I live under a rock! I just logged onto my computer for really the first time EVER because I was annoyed that I didn't make an avatar up to this point. So here I am poking around, totally confused at first by the siggys and I just read yours. Your DS's name is Callen!!!!! That is too much. I stumbled upon it when I was looking at names way back in sept and it was the ONE name DH didn't tell me was a dog's name when I made a suggestion. It's the only one we agree on so that it is. Too funny. I like your spelling better, I may try to work on DH..we'll see. Also, did you order your second batch of christmas cards yet? I was thinking of you when I opened my shutterfly email yesterday and today.
So I'm too lazy to figure out shutterfly or a photo website right now. where I can link images into my signature so Im Just going to upload this tacky sweater here....
That's an amazing sweater, wow. Lol.
Also, I shouldn't have opened the keigles thread. Duh.

Isn't it!? It popped up on my fb from something my sister liked and I was like that's a sweater I fucking need. About as much as I need a dickie for my husband to wear on christmas, but damnit one year we will have it all together.
My BFF2 loves sock monkey and id love to see her reaction to that sweater... Either joy or being horrified, lol.

I want vaginal rejuvenation after my C-section. Oh our special little pet.
Side note. I found some awesome CD deals, went to order them so I got my wallet and then remembered I have no way to pay for them.
