Fess up laides!

EandIMommy86 · March 2014

I was excited about the Kardashian baby line and had the nerve to look at the clothes yesterday knowing it only goes up to 24 months but found a cute outfit and wondered if DD could fit it....I put it back. :-S

reinedecajun · March 2014

I've never been to a dry wedding. Only one's with open bar.

My husband took a entire day off yesterday to go to court for a traffic ticket. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes then we came home had st and napped for three hours. It was amazeballs!

I'm driving 45 minutes today to see a friend from high school. I cannot wait to see her. The biggest perk of all, I can go to TARGET! Oh how I have missed you sweet sweet bullseye.

I don't understand why because someone is famous that means they can have a clothing line. I'm pretty sure she didn't design the clothing. Maybe approved them but not design them.
KK gets under my skin.

The Karsashians have owned their clothing store Dash for years. Not saying they are fashion designers, but the girls do know fashion.

Says the person who wore mom jeans and purple socks with moccasins yesterday.

See that shows how much I dont follow them. I still cant stand any of.them

I can't lie, the clothes are so cute. Online doesn't do them justice.

snickersforeveryone · March 2014

We had a dry wedding. If the guests wanted booze, they had to go to the bar at a restaurant in a totally separate building on the property and pay for it themselves (or bring it in flasks and drink out at their cars). Sorrynotsorry. We were more concerned with being respectful of the recovering alcoholics on both sides.

After mommy group yesterday, I pretty much was useless. Didn't clean up at all. I am one of those women who finds the company of other women exhausting, and all I wanted to do was bask in the silence of nap time.

aylafsu88 · March 2014

I prefer afternoon sex. I am just to tired at 9 pm to DTD which has decreased the amount we have.

I smell LOs feet. Most of the time I am checking to make sure her feet/shoes do not stink but it is starting to become a habit.

reinedecajun · March 2014

I gave up caffeine for lent, yet here I sit with coffee in hand. Ive missed you coffee and your much needed today.

I get a sick satisfaction out of digging boogers out of Andrews nose. Each time I get one I'm like "AHA! Success!!!" I forgot how much I enjoyed this.

Do you have a Nose Frieda - the glory of seeing all the snot you can suck out is amazing! So gross but amazing.

My confession: My dog and I don't get along. He doesn't seem to like me and loves to piss me off. We bought a training program thing so we can work on our relationship. I'm not looking forward to it, but DH and DS love this dog, so I'll try to work on things. I guess.

potatoe6 · March 2014

I know i am not on much, as my new job is just crazy busy, and really only have time to lurk at one thread at a time. But my FC, I joined Pinterest this week and now I am addicted. We have soo much junk in the basement that since I joined Pinterest, I am non stop thinking of ways to recycle the crap to sell it.

steelermama86 · March 2014

I have never been to a dry wedding. Isn't that half the fun?

I'm a firm believer drink til pink.

I really dislike fake entitled people who think their shit don't stink. Unfortunately, I have to suck it up and be around them all the time.

We belong to the wine of the month club and I look forward to getting it each month. They alternate red and white Virginia wines.

aylafsu88 · March 2014

I still keep in contact with an ex-boyfriend and he hangs out with my H and I when in town for work. We were together in HS and split when I went to college. My H never says anything but sometimes I wonder if he finds it awkward. I do not think I could hang out with one of my his ex's.

zyas · March 2014

I have been dying for Ava to sleep in our bed but my H has been firmly against it since she was born. He's paranoid one of us will roll on her and suffocate her. So last night around 1am she woke up really upset about something and wouldn't stop crying.
I was shocked when my H said she could come sleep in our bed with us.

We put her between us and she slept great! But I didn't. I constantly woke up to check on her and so did my H.

She was a great alarm clock too. I was awake when she woke up but she woke my H up by whacking him in the face with her wubbanub. "Daddy?" Then when he opened his eyes all groggy, her face was like 5 inches from his. "Hi!" She exclaimed then she asked "daddy sleepy?"
Lol

I don't think she'll be sleeping in our bed again anytime soon.

I stumbled upon this wine app called WTSO (WinesTilSoldOut) and I am obsessed. They feature one bottle of good wine at a time (i.e. expensive) and it is offered at a really good discount to buy until it is sold out, then another bottle is featured. I have already bought 3 different bottles since I downloaded the app yesterday. My H is going to kill me. But I have to send it to work because it's booze and someone needs to sign for it...soooooo I can pass most off as bottles that my boss has given me (he gives me bottles of wine on the reg).
Have you heard of wine.woot? it is a website that works somewhat similarly, except it is usually one deal a day and it is usually more than one bottle at a time.

I love Woot. Woot Offs are no joke. Bags of Crap are the most sought after items...I tried to get one once and my computer damn near crashed. Ignore me if you don't know what any of this means. I'm a tool.

lewispm · March 2014

K doesn't let me near his nose, so I taught him to pick his own boogers. Yep. I taught my kid to pick his nose. But now he can clear out those monster ones that he wont let me touch and we are both happier!

And also, I don't love MH's ("our") dog Zaley, as much as I do my sweet baby Avery. I mean, I love her and I would be devastated if anything happened to her, but she isn't my baby like Avery is. I feel guilty because I'm always yelling at her because she gets into EVERYTHING. She steals K's food, eats his diapers, tears up my underwear, goes through the trash, etc. I am always yelling at her and getting on to her and now K has started copying me, He is constantly smacking her and yelling at her. Whoops

nesenotes · March 2014

One of MH's customers gave him an expensive bottle of wine. It's wholesale value was $80. It tasted like dirt. It was way too strong. I was excited to see it was 15% alcohol by volume. I had a half glass and made MH drink the rest. He was slushy after. I'll stick to my $10-$20 budget.

nesenotes · March 2014

I improvise some of Emery's books on sharing and being polite. I make sure to emphasize the part about sharing and say no and mine real exaggerated and point out how sad the characters look and feel because not sharing is mean. I think it backfired because when I get to the not sharing part of the story she slams the book shut and walks away. Nope I'm not hearing it lala lala lala %-(

@nesenotes‌ I read Tommy a Boole about no hitting. Immediately after he is hitting things. My H asked what his book was about and he hit the book, the couch, me. Total backfire.

LOL to both of these!

We had a similar backfire. K likes to step on our bare feet (with shoes on) all the time and it hurts! MH and I started fake crying when he did it and saying ow! And now he just looooves when we fake cry and tries to step on us all the time. We stopped with the crying since realizing it backfired and he will point at us after stepping on us and demand we fake cry. He will even fake cry himself to show us what he wants and its pretty convincing.

I'm judging a friend hard.

My friend's due date is next week with her first. She scheduled an induction for this week and went into the hospital last night. I thought it was weird that she scheduled an induction before her due date but didn't think too much about it. I was talking to a mutual friend and apparently the reason she scheduled the induction for this week is that she's hoping for a c-section. Who in the hell wishes for major abdominal surgery when it's not necessary? I can't stop thinking she's an idiot about this.

Believe it or not I have heard of women doing this because they do not want their vag to get stretched out from the baby. It is ridiculous logic.

lewispm · March 2014

I thought of another!

I have not been to the gyno since my 6 week pp check up. I had never been to the gyno in my life until I got on BC right before my wedding.

:-O

nesenotes · March 2014

It's common and necessary especially if you are on insulin like I was. One of the side effects of having GD and taking insulin is placenta failure. That's why I had to do 3 stress tests a week. I was praying every day I would go into labor and not have a still birth. Scary stuff.

@lewispm. Me too! I keep meaning to schedule my annual but I always forget.

nesenotes · March 2014

And I'm the asshat that was sort of relieved when I failed to progress and needed a c-sec. I prefer to keep my vag intact. I'm way too freaked out by the post partum horror stories. I will be scheduling a RSC next time around

@traviabrad I have heard that as well. Crazy enough I feel much smaller than before I had a kid.

I was terrified of my C/S and had a pretty rough time with it all, including recovery and feelings of failure. However, the one thing I tell myself to make me feel better is at least my vag is intact! No pelvic floor issues or vaginal prolapse, and no episiotomy (although any degree of vaginal tear can't really compare to getting cut through to your ute). So yeah. 'Im super duper beyond jealous of all you bishes who didn't require a C/S but at least my vag hasn't been stretchified

I'm "trying" for a VBAC with this baby (I say "trying" because I don't really think I have any control over it- either I'll go into labor, or not!), but I think I'll be a little pissed if it works and then my lady parts AND my stomach will be all messed up. My C scar has keloid buildup, and the doc said they could try to cut it out if I had a RCS....

My doctor presented an induction as an option since my active labor was really quick with DD and I live 45 mintues - an hour and a half from the hospital. I looked at her like she had lost her mind, laughed and said no way. I'd rather have the baby in the car, TYVM.

I was surprised that my doctor was so casual about presenting it as an option.

Mine casually offered one, too. It would have been a couple of days past my due date, so it wasn't anything too crazy...but when I declined she said she was surprised because most people were pushing for one since it was super hot/summer. There wasn't really a reason I needed one, she was just basically offering for my comfort. I guess that's pretty common these days.

My Doctor also offered an induction 2 days before due date and I was surprised. I guess it is common these days and also after sertain age they don't want to go past due date. I ended up scheduling it and then having V 2 days before the induction on my own...

I have spent so much money this month. I've completely blown our budget. And I'm going to spend more, too. A lot more.

Ugh, I was thinking exact thing. We need a spending freeze!

KarmB · March 2014

My doc is very anti-csection, or at least we'll try everything before doing that. hes not an asshole about it, but I know the option will always be there because im high risk. It terrifies the shit out of me, Ill admit. I know Im probably scaring myself more than it really is. Just like the epidural, i freaked myself out about that. But its major surgery and the idea of having a toddler and a newborn and recovery scares me. i know tons and tons of people do it and theyre just fine and I guess that makes feel a tad more comfortable....I ramble. it just scares me.

Vag birth does not always equal stretched out, messed up lady parts. Maybe my FC is that I get irrationally frustrated when people imply this and I feel like I need to 'splain that my vag tore bore times but I had really easy recoveries and it absolutely feels/looks like before (uhh... to all parties involved...)

This is how I feel, it feels exactly the same as it always has. I was out driving three days later also, no crazy recovery.

It's my birthday today and besides my friends and family congrats I got happy birthday emails from my eye doctor, my dentist, facebook, panera bread and cruise company. I feel so special, lol!

I want to confess and it is not easy for me, please don't flame - I have not seen my mother for 2 years. There are multiple reasons and excuses for it, but if I cut all the crap and look at the facts - I see that I am a crappy- crappy daughter. I feel so guilty about it, especially today on my birthday, I wish I could hug my mom and thank her for giving me life...

Happy birthday!!!!

I don't know the circumstances, but can you call your mom and tell her that? A simple "I was thinking of you today... As a mother, I know now that a birthday is so special to the one who gave birth, even more than to the one who was born. Just wanted to wish a happy my birthday to YOU, and say thanks for all the work you did for me that day!" Or something... Maybe it's too much if your relationship is strained. I hope you can heal it, if you want! And it sounds like you do. You'll be in my thoughts! I'm no stranger to mama drama. Sucks.

lkamenko · March 2014

Thank you, Sally. I will definitely call her, I do every night. I just did not see her face to face for 2 years, because she is in Seattle and I am in Miami and there thousands miles between us. She is afraid to fly because she is elderly and handicapped and not in a good health and I can not find time/money to go there and I have 3 kids, work etc which I can not leave. As I said excuses, excuses...

I went through the Zaxby's drive through at lunch and forgot to order. I was just sitting there, listening to the radio, when I realized I had driven right past the speaker. I had to get out of line and drive around to get back in at the back of the line. There you have it. @-)

@JennMM This made me LOL

I did this once at a drive through and my friend was in the car with me. She told me to just drive up to the window and order there. (she used to work at a drive through and said people did it all the time). I felt like such a dumbass but they had no problem letting me order at the window.

PS: What is Zaxby's?

zyas · March 2014

As far as the CS/vag debate: I had a scheduled CS and I will have one next time too. Both my mom and my sister had vag births from hell. My sister still has issues from hers and its been almost 12 years. She had a CS with her second child and said she wishes she had one with the first.

Their stores alone scared the crap out of me for ever having a vag birth.

But by the time I got pregnant it was recommended to me that I have a CS because of a disease I have in my spine. I'm so glad I did as my CS experience was really good. I generally heal quick though so that may have had something to do with it. But I was walking all around less than 24 hours after the surgery, driving at less than a week after and I had very little bleeding. Pooping was completely normal too. All the horror stories I read beforehand freaked me out but at least I was prepared for the worst!
