In the past 2 weeks I made 2 batches of cookies just so I could eat the dough. No cookies actually got baked.

starshower22 · December 2013

Last Saturday DH & I told my mom we were at dinner longer than we really were. We used the exta time to get it on. :bz

eta: My mom was babysitting. That's why she's in the story.

RK125 · December 2013

I hit snooze for an hour today. C is not sttn like she has been and I'm exhausted. Guess I'll do the dishes and house stuff when I get home. (I probably won't though!)

sftbllstr87 · December 2013

I'm still not feeling great about my body so although my pre preggo jeans "fit" I feel like they gimme a little muffin top so I keep wearing the "fat" jeans I bought in a size bigger so I feel skinnier because they're nice and loose

NikkiD522 · December 2013

I use printed address labels for Christmas cards.

girlmama83 · December 2013

I've only bought LO christmas gifts so far.

PB102012 · December 2013

I fully intend on wearing my Demi band maternity jeans today.... washing them tonight, and wearing them again tomorrow.

My confession is I was totally jealous reading all the love yesterday! Guess I need to get more involved!

Me too! It is great how supporting everyone is of each other. And the gifs make it that more amazing!!

My confession is that I hope the weather is bad tomorrow (slight chance of sleet and rain here) so that I do not have to go out with friends for dinner and a movie. I would not mind seeing them or seeing a movie but right now I would rather stay in my jammies and go to bed early.

Revez · December 2013

I was completely planning on cleaning the house top to bottom this week before the ILs get here tomorrow. Yea, none of it got done. So I recruited 4 of my brothers to come over today and help me power clean.

Also: I think I'm in love with at least half of you. :x $:\$ ">

LokiLahve · December 2013

@sftbllstr87 if it makes you feel any better I'm not even in fat pants...still rockin my maternity pants over here. And that probably won't change over the winter. unless leggings count?

My fffc...I've never been to sephora. I hear they have awesome perfume though!

Another... DH and I spoil the shit out of each other for Christmas every year. We don't do a lot of gifts at any other time but Christmas is insane. My mom made a comment last year about how ridiculous it was.
The way I see it, we busted our asses to get to where we are today & if we want to blow a bunch of money at Christmas then so be it.
I realize this can sound snobby (at least that's what mom says) and I don't mean it that way. Things weren't always so great, we had our share of Charlie Brown Christmases.

I guess my confession is the opposite. We haven't gotten J anything for Christmas- we have so much stuff already and I know our families are going to go crazy and we just don't have the money (I will end up doing a few small things this weekend for his stocking so we can take some photos) ... Next year when he can open will be another story.

This is us, too. He has everything he needs, and my sister already got the jumperoo we were planning. He also keeps getting toys from my nephew, so we haven't had to buy anything really.

We spoil each other too. I am sure it will be different when we have more kids and they get older but I want DH to know that he deserves something for all his hard work in life and in our marriage. If we don't give each other nice things then who will?

Caz1221 · December 2013

I finished all if my Christmas shopping a couple weeks ago with one exception: I haven't bought anything for DH. It's like my creative gift giving brain has gone on strike with LO around. I don't want to get DH something boring or expected, so I've been sitting around waiting for inspiration to strike...

This is my confession, too. We haven't bought one thing for lo. I feel bad but he wont Even know...his grandmas will make up for it! Maybe I will wrap his new high chair and let him "open" it.

I'm doing the same thing! It doesn't help that DH buys himself whatever he wants during the year so I have to get extra outside the box.

This WHOLE TIME, I thought "gif" was pronounced with a hard G.

V&G101808 · December 2013

My confession? I want to slap-a-ho when a SAHM mom tells me "wow, I could NEVER be a working mom. I don't know how you do it". Well bitch, it's because I have to. I have to support my family so I have to work. Do I love it? No. But I gots to do what I gots to do.

My anger mainly stems from jealousy that I can't SAH but also because a part of me feels like they think they are superior.

Before anyones panties get in a bunch - this is how I feel about the SAHMs I've met IRL.

tdmklm · December 2013

I bought every single Christmas gift online this year. Every. Single. One.

My FIL was full of passive aggression yesterday. When we picked up the kids from a single overnighter (our first!), MIL was packing the baby's bottle warmer and bottles back into the reusable grocery bag which we brought, and FIL asked "Are you giving away our bags?" MIL answered "No, this is theirs." He said "Well, GOOD. Because every time we send them with one we NEVER get it back. We have to keep buying bags." I was struggling to come up with another small gift idea for him and decided right then and there that he was getting a mixture of bags from Target, Safeway, Raley's, CVS, Costco, etc. Gonna put that shit in a nice box and wrap it up. I knew we had one or two but it was made out like we have a personal mission to deprive him of his reusable bags. DH and he enjoy hunting together. That was always their "thing." Now that DH has a good paying career, he really takes care of his parents. When he found a duck hunting guide a few hours away, he paid for a duck hunting trip....hotel, food, gas, guide service. FIL is in such poor shape that he could not make it 300 yards (some of it in mud) to the site. He kept falling down, complaining of ailments, Etc that he turned around and went back to wait in the truck while DH and the guide duck hunted together. This was only 2 weeks ago. I felt so bad for him, having once been morbidly obese myself. DH couldn't really enjoy his hunting experience and felt rushed because he wanted to get back to his dad. That was supposed to be FIL's Xmas present ($$$$) but now we (I) are scrambling to think of something else because it was virtually ruined. It pisses me off that he forgot ALL of that when complaining about a couple of fucking $1-2 reusable grocery store bags and I judged that to high heaven.

I'm sometimes a bit passive aggressive, so if I were you, not only would his gift be reusable bags, but I'd get that shit embroidered with his full name. "Oh, FIL, I know how much you love your reusable bags, so I thought getting them personalized for you would help us make sure we don't take yours by mistake." BOOM!

So the nerd in me had to go look this up. EVEN THOUGH the G stands for Graphic the inventor of the format (Steve Wilhite) insists it's prounounced "jif". This makes no sense to me at all.

This makes me think of peanut butter. I will continue to pronounce it gif - b/c really, I only ever say it in my head or on the computer screen anyways.

I think this might just be flamable to people i know irl but ill confess it. I dont think a&e was wrong taking phil robertson off the air. I also dont think his right to freedom of speech was violated. He said what he said he wasnt arrested but a&e also had the right to essentially fire him.

So we went to see Santa. And mother of the year over here didn't bring a diaper bag because it was going to be quick.

I was right, it was a quick in and out picture. Like 10 mins total.

But little turkey man decided to shit himself just as we were pulling into the mall. So he sat on santas lap with a poopy diaper.

Texasmomma13 · December 2013

I'm not sure if this is really a confession or should have been on yesterday's UO thread. I don't think it's right that people fail to plan for their families in the event of a disaster/freak accident and instead rely on the kindness and generosity of others to get them through it. For example: when your house burns down, you have no insurance, and yet complain that others aren't helping you get back on your feet by donating money or items; when your husband tragically dies in a vehicle accident at the age of 32 and leaves a wife and two children behind, with no life insurance policy to even cover the burial costs, and donations are taken to help the family; when your baby (18 months) gets sick and ends up in the hospital for a few weeks, instead of alternating time with the child both spouses take unpaid leave of absence and then set up an online account and seek donations to pay their living expenses through facebook.
All of these situations I have personally seen in the last month. I just don't understand the no life/home/renters insurance thing. Even when I made didley squat fresh out of college I had renter's insurance and a life insurance policy that was enough to bury my butt. I could kind of see the family with the sick baby, but the way they went about it was terrible. Then to post updates about just sitting around. One of them could have gone to work. I've been in that position with a sick baby in the hospital. We were lucky enough to be able to afford that both of us could be there. But there was a time that we thought my husband was going to have to leave us there because he was running out of paid leave days. If it had come to that, he would have.

I realize to some this probably makes me sound like a complete and utter biotch. Oh well! There's my confession! Flame away if you must.

DD1 has pretty much given up naps. Her mouth runs non stop and she asks 101 questions a minute. Some days I just need a break, so I tell her she doesn't have to nap, but she does have to lay down in my bed and rest.

With the iPad.

And I go downstairs and eat ice cream.

MitsB707 · December 2013

DH thinks I can't load the dishwasher properly. The fact is that I know how to load it. I just choose not to. I hate doing dishes, even if it just means loading the dishwasher. I also won't put them away.
