I get so scared when the apartment is dark that I run fast and then hurt myself. The other night I actually woke up DH to turn a light on for me so I could go to the bathroom.

Oh&&there was a storm and I lost power and I had my mom on the phone the entire 2.5 hours until the power came on (from 11pm-1:30am). She's the best. I'm a scaredy cat.

I have a panicky fear of bugs. I love to camp and be in the woods but when I am in the city the bugs freak me out.

For example: spiders. Love them and leave them be in my home because they will eat all the other bugs. As soon as I find one in my bedroom? All bets are off and it must die.

I may or may not have fallen into a footing hole running away from a bee.

Lee81 · February 2014

When I saw this thread, I was all

My "eff-eff-eff-see" is that I've been over-using the Love it button and I can't seem to stop. I "Love it" if I agree, or if I do the same thing, or if the post made me laugh, or if the person took the time to answer one of my posts, or if someone replies to something I say or acknowledges my existence. I'm worst in any threads where people are posting pictures of their babies. I start by "Love it"-ing the ones that I actually love. I end up going back and doing all of them as if someone is going to notice that I loved some baby's pictures but not theirs.Also, on threads where the poster is discussing multiple things (like on UO), I spend more time than I should wondering if I should "Love it" if I only love/agree with/laugh at one of their points but not the others. There is something wrong with me.

lereade · February 2014

My sister (the delusional one who's going to sleep train by 6 weeks) had her LO Tuesday. About 6 hours later she finally told the family that she had a girl. I"m glad it was a girl, my sister will do better with a girl than a boy. FFFC? I hoped it'd be a girl for a few selfish reasons: I didn't want another boy to butt in on my LO's buddy relationship with my dad, and BIL won't be able to keep that stick up his ass as well with a girl. Though, he totally left my sister at the hospital the second night to go home and sleep with his dog because he was worried she (the dog) wasn't sleeping well with my parents taking care of her. they live 3 minutes from the hospital. Go home, check on the dog, go back to take care of your kid! He also told my dad he loves 'this bfing thing' b/c he doesn't have to wake up, my sister does all the work. Deft side-eyeing him for that shit.

Also, I've been in super bitch mode this week and I'm not sure why. I've managed to keep it away from home, but yeah, crazy bitchiness from me this week and it's not pms.

TL;DR: Sis had her little girl, BIL is being selfish as usual, and I'm fit to rip someone a new asshole for just looking at me wrong this week, I need a drink!

MissLauraPants · February 2014

I'm using the baby as an excuse this weekend to get out of two baby showers. One I really will just have him and they told him I could bring him but I really dislike showers. The other my boyfriend will be home so I could totally go but it's for a third baby and I just don't think I should have to go to another shower for her when I went to her first 4 years ago...I think my boyfriend and I will get a babysitter and go to see the Lego movie instead so I'll have to remind him and me to not post on Facebook we saw the movie until much much later.

carawasa · February 2014

I just called out of work, because I felt like it! That's all I got for now.

trackgirlparis · February 2014

Hopefully this doesn't turn into a dear diary...(a little background info) BIL (DHs younger bro) is 1.5 years older than me and his gf is 10 months younger than me. She and I get along really well which us awesome because DH and BIL are extremely close. BIL have always gotten along awesome as well.

My FFFC: I've recently become pretty jealous of BILs girlfriend. BIL is really outgoing and likes to get out and do a lot of activists. He plans amazing dates for them. On Valentines, they went to a pottery place to paint pottery and then out to a Morroccan restaurant. They go hiking in the nat'l parks up here, they go ice skating, try new restaurants etc.

I've noticed in the last month or so that when gf posts photos on FB or I hear from DH about something they did, I want to cry. I DID cry over them hiking this weekend. I guess I'm just jealous/upset because DH is not like that. I've always known he is a homebody and it really doesn't bother me, but since DD came along and since his work situation has made him a little depressed, he never wants to do anything. I got excited two weeks ago when he wanted to walk around the mall with DD and I. BIL and gf have done to a nat'l park I've always wanted to go to that's an hour away...DH isn't interested. They try new resteraunts...DH doesn't like trying new food places.
I'm really trying not to complain because he's an amazing husband and an amazing father. I just feel myself getting resentful because he isn't outgoing like I want to be, with us or our family. And I don't want to cry or get upset when I hear about my BIL and his gf. It's weird lol...I don't want BIL or anything (ew!), I've just caught myself thinking how I wish DH was more like him in those ways lately, and I hate feeling like that.

(Sorry, that did turn into a dear diary. I think it's been bothering me a lot though and I guess I needed to get it off my chest)

TL;DR I'm jealous of BILs girlfriend because BIL is outgoing and does fun things with her and it makes me sad/resentful DH isn't like that.

TXswissmiss · February 2014

FFFC - I am terrified of getting "Sooner'ed." So much so that yesterday even though I really wanted to stand up for the amber necklace (LOs drool went from pools on toys and soaked outfits to almost nothing) in the UO, I totally stopped myself.

@Sooner1981 most of the time I agree with your rational and informed views. Can't get behind this one. Alas, a true UO in my book!

Eta numbers are hard but really shouldn't be.

huntjul · February 2014

I totally (silently) judged DH when yesterday he bought DD a toy. It was a xylophone to play with these little plastic mallets. Seriously? She's 4 months old. Even the packaging says 3+ years for age. DH, either learn to read or learn to use common sense.

chelseyestelle · February 2014

Haha I got a little crazy with the title. It was super late what can I say? Sorry bout that!

@Lee81 me freaking too! I have been super over using it. I probably loved over 200 things yesterday. What is wrong with me?! Everyone is just so creative/funny/beautiful. Sigh.

My FFFC is that we went grocery shopping yesterday and on the way home we stopped at Arby's. Why should we eat anything that we just spent loads of money on? We do this often. No idea why.

elllaf · February 2014

I'm reading Shades of Grey.
It makes me miss the man my husband was when we first started dating.
(Not that he's a dom or anything haha)

I wonder if I'm the reason...

Also. These books are terribly written.

calibr8te · February 2014

@chelseyestelle: We do this all the time. Grocery shopping night is a big affair because I wash all of my fruits and veggies, so it takes up a lot of time. I transfer deli meats/cheeses to glass containers, separate meats into dinner portions before freezing them... so takeout is nice and easy on that night.

@trackgirlparis: Hang in there. Try and get him to slowly accept some change and adventure this spring/summer. Dead of winter where you are is no fun anyways. I felt the same way towards mine, but in regards to the social aspect. He is the one that turned me into an outdoor adventure girl, but I was a straight up party socialite before him and the fact that he was so introverted bugged me for years. I would want to host parties and it would always be this major stressor. I eventually realized that you can't change a man, but did make sure that we always did social events regardless. I just kept it to smaller numbers, and years later, he has blossomed.. or come into his own.. either way, it's no longer an issue. Maybe you have to just become the planner for the next little while to do the things that you want to do.

vargasgurl · February 2014

I often make grocery lists that I don't look at in the supermarket ... And I end of with too much of the same thing in the house. DH probably thinks I'm stocking up ... But I'm really not.

ajjf1026 · February 2014

Mine is lame but I have eaten out every night this week. McDonalds 3x, pizza last night. Probably going out again tonight!

My suite mate at work has no volume control when she's on personal calls. It's bad. Yesterday, after about 45 minutes of her loud conversation, I stood up and motioned that her boss was coming. She quickly hung up. Her boss wasn't coming.

This is so true. The regulars have perfected the art of posting FFFCs that are cutesy or entertaining without ever actually being flameful (myself included), as they wait flamethrowers in hand for a poor soul to wander in and actually post a true confession.

I've got back on electronic use this week but only because I was reading a magazine (a actual hard copy) and left it open.

I came back to it later and thought 'shoot I probably wasted battery leaving it open'

1. I made bacon for the first time ever last night(we had breakfast for dinner).

2. I cried on my way in to work this morning. I was listening to Olympic coverage and I was "moved" by the emotion of the Canadians winning the gold in hockey in a power play. I thought my hormones were in check, but apparently, they're not.

3. I ate a king size hershey bar and some donuts for breakfast this morning. That could also be the reason for my crying.

megs1409 · February 2014

I went to the gym this morning, even though I feel terrible, not becaue I wanted to be "healthy." It's because I want to go out to eat tomorrow and not give a rats ass about what I order and I want to indulge in a drink or 2 without thinking about the calories I'm consuming.

huntjul · February 2014

I suck at statistics and have no desire to learn them. I am totally going to rope a colleague into doing them for the data I finished collecting yesterday.

I have a xylophone for DS and he loves it. Sometimes I play songs for him during tummy time, other times I sit him on my lap and let him watch me play, and sometimes he grabs the mallet and tries to hit the keys too.

FFFC: I don't read age labels on toys. I am supervising his activity and nothing he has is a chocking (#callback) hazard.

Welshgirl12 · February 2014

I love my pumping breaks in work and may continue to take them even when I finish breast feeding just so I can have some quiet,alone time at the office.

Also DH drove an hour there and back to collect my brother from the metro...I said I would clean but instead got my bump and Facebook fix. I never get down time at home,itwas fun!
#couldhavegoneabeertoo

huntjul · February 2014

I spilled 4 oz of milk in my messenger bag on the way home from work yesterday. It got all over my purse, ipad, and papers. Then when pouring the remaining milk into bottles on the counter, I spilled another 4 oz all over the counter, down the cabinets, and onto the floor.

I pitched such a fit that DH volunteered to clean up the kitchen and hose out my bag. Now I also understand that the saying "don't cry over spilled milk" only refers to the kind you buy in a carton from the store. I managed not to cry, but it was pretty close.

lefnc82 · February 2014

I decided to get a little extra sleep this morning instead of waking LO up to nurse him before work like I normally do. Of course before I could leave for work he started fussing so I woke DH up (SAHD) and told him I've changed him but don't have time to feed him. Don't even feel bad because he went out the other day instead of letting me take a nap like I told him I wanted to. And LO was wide wake when I left so I'm guessing he didn't fall back to sleep like he normally would.
#ifidontsleepwhyshouldyou

WhenInRome11 · February 2014

I went to a sleep seminar this week in the hopes of learning some tips on getting my daughter to nap somewhere other than on my chest or in the mei tai. She ended up telling me to choose a type of sleep training and start. I have absolutely no intention of doing this. So, here I sit with my sweet girl napping on my chest.

My true FFFC I seriously judged the woman with the 10 month old that only sleeps in his car seat... Not just in the car, he sleeps in it in the house, for naps and overnight. I feel badly for that mama but I just don't understand how you could let that go on for so long.

For this reason, I never even read the fffc or uo posts while pregnant. I wasn't strong enough and i was wayyyyyy too sensitive.

I've only tried taco bell once many, many years ago.

Flutterby00 · February 2014

I don't really share emotional/personal things on the bump because of a bad experience from last summer. I shared something really hard that had happened (death of BFF) on an HDBD, and not one person read it...or if they did they didn't respond. But the person who posted after me had to put down their dog that week (also terribly hard to go through, not discounting that) and almost every post after that point mentioned the dog. It bummed me out!

Weljadraak · February 2014

I geeked out hard to LOTR. I read the books around the time the Fellowship of the Ring was released on film. I bought "the One Ring" and wore it around my neck. I drew elves on the back of my assignments. I listened to the soundtrack over and over again and attempted to play the songs on my keyboard/recorder. My mother gave me $100 for school clothes the summer before 9th grade and instead I spent it ALL on LOTR figurines. I did not get school clothes that year.

This FFFC was inspired by yesterday's UOs.

Same here... my brother got DS this huge monster truck for Christmas that is 3+, DS loves to watch me play with it while he's on the floor, he laughs the whole time. Plus it has some really cool features and is pretty fun to play with.

My FFFC: I like to play with toddler toys.

J's mom made me cry the other night. Everytime she talks to me she'll say to DD oh I can't wait until you come stay with grandma or tell me how I need to leave DD with her and I'm just not ready and I've told her that several times now. Well we were over for dinner and she and her mom sit down near me and in front of everyone say how I need to work on getting my life back and just get over not being ready and leave DD with them.

I was totally humiliated and frustrated from having the same conversation for the 30th time.

I cried on the way home and J kind of hung out in the middle but also defended his mom.. I felt very alone and defeated..

Sorry for the dear diary confession.

OMG that's awful they made you feel like that. You have your life "back"! It's called being a mom! You leave your child with whoever you want, whenever you feel comfortable!
I've only left ds1 (2.5yrs) with 3 people ever and 90% of that time I was in the hospital or going to dr appts that I couldn't bring him with me.
It's your child and your "new" life, don't let people bully you and make you feel badly about your decisions! They can spend quality time with their grandchild even if you are there, they don't need to be alone. O and tell your hubby to try being more supportive of you instead of his mommy, cut the cord.
(((Hugs))) you're not alone!

ksimo6 · February 2014

@Flutterby00 - sad!

My confession - I don't feel the least bit sorry for my GF who has two kids (3 yrs and 9 months) who don't STTN. She claims that they NEED HER and that the baby still needs to eat 3xs a night (he's in 18 mo clothes... he's a tank). It sounds like a mommy issue to me.

I hate idiots more than anything, but I also hate public humiliation, and I can't help feeling a little bit bad for them. Of course, they usually just fan the flames by sticking around and defending their dumbass opinion, but that usually just makes me feel embarrassed for them.

This could be said about UO, too.

hartsl01 · February 2014

Another one... I'm secretly kind of sad that my SIL is having a girl. I really wanted them to have a boy so that DS would have a cousin the same age to play with. Also, there are 6 babies between last year and this year in my family (all within 10 months) and DS is the only boy out of all of them. I wish he had a boy cousin to play with instead of all these girls.
