When I was in a bad mood, C brought home a bottle of 7th Generation surface cleaner because she's worried about environmental toxins hurting the baby (a legit concern, I get it). For years we teased our friends who used those products because they stink and we don't trust them to kill germs.
I turned on her and asked "What are you, a communist?" I was half joking.
We adopted out first dog 6 years ago when she was 6 months old. They spayed her before we were allowed to pick her up. Where her stitches were- I just thought they sewed her vajayjay up. I said something months later and my husband was like - "what the fuck. You seriously thought that's how dogs are spayed? They just sew up their vagina?"
Hey man, I never claimed to be a rocket scientist, or a doctor.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm someone's mother.
Wait...is that NOT what they do? I thought male dogs had their testes cut off and females had their vaginas sewed shut too lol
I'm lying to everyone telling them I want this baby to be a boy because MH is very vocal about wanting it to be a girl. I feel like I have to be team boy even though I really couldn't care less. I love my boy and would love another, but I also would love a little girl.

Not my proudest moment.
Ha! I am feeling so awful with a cold that I want to ask some fb friends who are into essential oils if they have any recs but dang, I really don't want to encourage them!!
I give my husband a cash allowance every Sunday cause he's bad with money and currently unemployed. This morning I looked in his wallet before I left for work to see if there was any cash in there. It was empty. Then I went in the bedroom to say goodbye to him (as I usually do) and asked him how his cash situation was going this week, knowing full well that he had none.
Confession: I am trying to watch cloth diapering tutorials on the DL at work. My nosey coworker is all like "whatcha watchin". I'm pissed that she is always in my business and I don't regret watching it on my down time. I might be a bad employee but right now I just don't care.
I am a very "sharing" person. If you want some of what I'm snacking on - cool, here ya go. Since I've been pregnant, I don't share ANYTHING! As a matter of fact, I secretly hoard it instead. Even when I'm in bed with my husband having crackers or something I won't offer him any. Bring on the pregnancy weight...and husband's puppy dog eyes...
I've been bitchy to DH lately and have no idea why. It's like if he doesn't do things exactly how I "think he should" I get all snarky. I want to kick myself for it. I've decided that saying "sorry, I'm a hormonal wackadoodle" and grabbing us both a Snickers Ice Cream bar is the best solution currently.

LOL No!!! They give the animals a complete hysterectomy. They take out the ovaries and uterus. Otherwise our pets would still ovulate and menstruate. It it's a boy they remove the testes, yes.
That's why it's harder on a female pet to get spayed. But trust me, it's much better for them to not have their reproductive parts. They're prone to cancers and besides, they don't need them anyway. Why make your cat or dog have a period if you're not going to breed them? It's messy and they get cramps, too.
And cats in heat... oy. I was at my friend's house when his cat was in heat and it was freaking me out. She kept howling, rubbing around my legs, and sticking her butt in the air. She was craving the kitty wiener something awful. Nope. Not something I want to deal with.
Wishiwaspreggo: thanks for that I honestly didn't know. I used to take in all the stray cats in my neighborhood when I was a kid (which my parents loved lol) and they constantly bled everywhere
I am a terrible wife. H and I got into a argument in buy buy baby yesterday and he threw his wallet at me telling me to get whatever and meet him in the car. I got pissed and said fuck you and left it on the floor. No surprises that the wallet got stolen. At first I was more angry than anything in that he shouldn't have thrown his wallet at me but now I realize I acted like a child and he has to replace everything in his wallet. Luckily there wasn't any cash.
I feel terrible. He's not mad and laughed it off because hormones and whatnot but it was shitty of me.

Glad to be of service Yep, cats get their periods if they're not spayed.
I'm getting really impatient with the child care centers that I've contacted. Wait lists in my area can be extremely long, people have to sign their children up almost a year in advance to get a spot, and I've heard nothing back.
@shootznladrz I don't mean to make fun of that situation, but this is probably going to be one of those stories you will look back and laugh hysterically at. So, so funny (not the lost wallet part of course). I have to admit it made me chuckle because I could envision this exact exchange between my husband and me at a store.
To the info on cats in heat and menstruating: :^o Oh hell no.
I was about to do my FFFC about my cat too. I rescued her when she was very little laying under an abandoned car and now she's probably 15 weeks old or so? She never stops rubbing up against me, has to get in my face every time I'm sitting, follows me everywhere and walks right in front of my feet as I'm taking a step so I trip over her every time, and she scratches the shit out of me trying to jump in my lap or playing. Basically she drives me crazy and I wish I could re- home her. Now knowing I have periods all over the floor to look forward to unless I get her spayed in time really makes me dread this...

You can spay your cat anytime - the sooner the better though! There are clinics that will do it for pretty cheap.
Sounds like your cat is still very much a kitten - she'll grow out of it! You can get some caps for her claws if she's hurting you or destroying your house and you're against declawing.
But if you can't stand the cat and you're unhappy having her in your home, there's nothing wrong with re-homing her as long as you put some effort into finding her a good family to live with
I listened to my Christmas Pandora station all morning...and it might still be playing...but I'm annoyed that Halloween candy is already out in the grocery stores. Is this hypocrisy, or Alanis Morrissette's version of irony?
I just spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out the fail in @megaugust10 's sig pic. I got it, and lesson learned. No comedy before 9 am.
@wishiwaspreggo she really is sweet and it's not her fault I'm a hormonal raging bitch these days. I take into consideration she's still just a baby and I do give her love, just some days I want to be left alone. But I'll look into spaying her as soon as I can.

Hormones don't make you act like a 12 year old... Sounds like you both need to grow up a little.
Yeah, gonna have to agree with @ToasterCat on this one. My hormones have certainly influenced my mood but this happens to me with PMS, too. If I get really angry, I breathe and remind myself that it's in my head.
If C threw her wallet at me, I'd roll my eyes, pick it up, and take pictures of what I wanted then discuss it later after we both calmed down.
All I have today is a lame food confession. Someone brought in macaroons today and they are actually gluten free! There are only 16 in the box and I've already had 2 and am about to go grab another. Since I rarely get to have the treats that people bring in (because gluten), I feel like I need to get as many as I can of these, or at least one of each flavor (so 4). That totally doesn't make sense and it's not very fair or nice, but I don't care today.
@ToasterCat I'll try that. I'm just so afraid I'm gonna hurt her! I don't know how far down or how close that spot in their nail is where it's full of nerves and can bleed if you accidentally clip it.. That happened with my dog when I was younger and my mom would clip them..

There are tutorials available online if that would make you feel more comfortable with the clipping.
Another FFFC: I'm going to buy a couple really good bottles of wine for each month I'm pregnant and store them for after I have the baby. I miss wine desperately, and I think knowing that my dry-out will finally end one day will make be feel less bitter about not being able to enjoy a glass of delicious, mouth-watering, rich, fruity, earthy, sumptuous, silky, spine-tinglingly strong cabernet.
DH has made friends with a neighbor of ours and hes a total hottie. He came over last night to watch football with DH, and I was doped up on theraflu nighttime watching with them. I went to bed and had a dream that we were having an affair and trying not to let DH catch on. Real nice theraflu/hormones... now I have to try and act completely normal around him and act like I didn't have a total raunchy sex dream.

I would do this too, but I feel like dh would find it and drink them before this baby is born and I can drink again. I do however have a running list of wines, cocktails, beer, etc that I want after. I don't know why this makes me feel better but it does.

LOVE this idea. I'm doing this! I have to catch up and buy 3 now and then one once a month. :-)

I made it very, very clear that C was not to drink a single drop of my precious wine collection until *I* can drink it, too. If she fails in a moment of weakness and cracks open one of my bottles, she will replace it plus one more as punishment. And as of right now, I'm not letting her drink any good wine in front of me. Just the cheap stuff that comes in the giant bottles. I'm okay with that.

I had a moment, it happens.
Yeah, you did. We all have at some point. I think the take away from this is to understand not to blame it on hormones, take the blame for your part in it, and do better next time. One of my biggest pet peeves is when actions are blamed on hormones. You do still have a level of self-control.

I disagree that this is a laugh at later situation. You both sound incredibly immature. I can't believe grown adults act this way ever, let alone in public.

I never said it was hormones, I said that HE laughed it off and said that. I said that I realized I acted like a child.

Agree. Also, this is not something that goes in the "I'll Laugh at it Later" box. This should go directly into the "Painful Cringe" box.

Yeah, I'd be fucking horrified if my DH threw something at me. That's intensely disrespectful, especially in public. That would seriously make me question the entire relationship. How are the both of you going to handle the immense emotional stress of children? Throwing more things?
