  • My FFFC: I had chocolate mousse for supper last night. To be fair, it was tofu banana kind-of-healthy mousse, but I was exhausted and got home late and every supper idea sounded like insta-heartburn. I had two bowls. It was amazing.

    And between the heartburn, SPD, and hip pain, I had the worst sleep ever last night. I used to be one of those people who would cheerily remind pregnant women that having a hard time sleeping is just nature's way of preparing you for night time with a baby! (yay!)

    I swear to f*#$& I will throat punch anyone who cheerily says that to me today. 
  • My husband has had a really terrible week at work. He had to take some time out of his already super busy day and go to a benefits class this morning. Apparently his boss told him that when he goes to these things he always parks in a certain lot instead of at meters. They work at a university so campus police are crazy on top of parking. My husband should have known better than to listen to his boss, but he did and his car got towed. Now we had to pay $210 to get his car back. I'm trying soooo hard not to be angry at him because I know his week has been terrible. But inside I'm super pissed.

    Okay - I might get seriously flamed for this, but I judge people who can't afford to have kids but do so anyway on the assumption that "God will provide." I have friends who can barely make ends meet with the three kids they already have and are pregnant with a fourth. They are both in their 30s and are still relying on his parents to pay their car and cell phone bills and they regularly ask other family members for money. They plan to have as many children "as God blesses them with," knowing that "He will provide" for them. I certainly don't want to judge anyone's religious views, but this attitude seems very selfish to me. 
    I think that was my rant the other day...  lol I know several like that including one who gets $300 a month in food stamps and that is all they have to eat on for the 4 of them. She wants to have a 3rd child and her husband just agreed to start trying because God will provide.

    And no, I do not expect "God to provide" for my kids. We have that covered.

    FFF: Auntie is not coming to #5's first birthday "party" tomorrow. This is the grandma figure from SO's side, the one who I always have issues with, and she makes  deal about birthday parties. I'm glad. She made a rude comment about me having this strong craving for chocolate, caramel, and salty nuts the other day. Because I can control it apparently.

    Second FFF is I like The Chew but I have decided to no longer watch it because I do not like The First Lady and she is on it today.

    As far as how you can tell about FS cards, our states' is bright orange... and I have kids who point out colors. :-/

    Edited to be Our STATE. lol not our card.

    I sometimes exaggerate how tired/sore/unwell I feel to get DH to help out more when he's home. I mean, I know he works a crazy amount of hours but a lot of those hours are spent sitting around waiting for a call to go out or checking expiration dates on medical supplies or something... Not like it's constant hard labor! Why should I have to get up and take the dog out every time when I haven't sat down all day!?
    Since DH has been out of work for 10 months now, he's been a househusband while I work full time. I really want him to get another job, because yeah, he wants to work and we need the $$$, but part of me really likes having him be a SAHD because he does all the crap around the house that I don't want to do. When he gets a job, we'll have to start splitting it 50/50 again. 

    But, because I've been a SAHM too, I totally get where you're coming from. It's weird having to see both sides of the fence.

    My cousin had 7 kids.  Every single pregnancy nearly killed her, but her husband kept saying that God would protect her.  Her doctor finally told her she had to stop having kids.  That's the only reason they stopped.

  • FFFC - I knew when I got pregnant there was a chance I would have a flare. If I had known it would definitely happen, I would not have gone through fertility treatments and that is the reason I am never going to go through the treatments to have #3.


    There, I said it outloud.
    A healthy mom is the best gift you can give your children. Fertility treatments are hell. I did them for five years before having my oldest child. I don't have any health problems and I would never have gone through all that again. Hugs! You are a warrior woman!
  • Now I remember my original confession (which I forgot): I am mad that crocs aren't on sale yet. Normally they are on clearance by now. I only see 4 colors left in the store and all my pair are wearing out. :-( I wear crocs year round (yes, even in the snow). I keep a pair of emergency boots and socks (never worn. lol) in the van "just in case".

    I have no fun shoe shopping because of my huge size 11 feet. There are rarely cute shoes at the store, at least in my size.

    The last time I bought really nice shoes was in Jan of '12. I'm usually in flip flops or flats.

    I'm a flat(wide)footed size 10. Shoes are not exciting.
  • So I made it to a period when no one was in the classroom next to our faculty bathroom. I couldn't wait til I got home (what an unfamiliar feeling!). The poo gods doth shine upon me today. Thank God for poo pourri. Now if only they could make it to muffle sounds...

    DH has one uncle who always tries to kiss me on the lips. I always turn my cheek so I get a kiss smeared across the side of my face.

    I would just find this weird.... Weird and gross. And I'm a lip kisser (for my kids only...).

     

    My FFFC: I judge adults who are really into video games.


    For SHAME! I used to be a closet gamer because I didn't want to face people's judgement of gamers. I totally get the rational behind not understanding gamers. Are you a sports fan? For me, gaming is very similar to other fandoms, sports most particularly because time and effort is required to be a 'really good' sports fan. When people ask 'how' (as an adult) I can possibly enjoy playing games, I always tell them that that is just my form of entertainment, just as watching reality TV, sports, etc is for other people!

    My confession: My aunt is babysitting tomorrow so MH is taking me to see Gone Girl. I'm a teentsy but excited to Ben Affleck's peen!
    @Nesenotes, O.M.G. I'm SO excited :). I really enjoyed the book (maybe this is my confession???) and can't wait to watch Ben Affleck play Nick Dunne!!

    @LadyThrice - Haha, okay, I almost thought I was going to get away without being flamed! Which was surprising since I know there are a decent number of gamers on this board... I have seen the threads on the board :P So to answer your question, no I am not a huge or real sports fan... I enjoy watching sports with SO (or sometimes pretending to watch with him) but I don't think I can claim to be a real fan. My SO on the other hand, is a freaking sports better/gambler. Therefore, the amount of time he puts into "studying" sports and watching them and then betting on them was a HUGE shock to me when we first started dating. It took a while for us to find a middle ground on the whole time devoted to sports thing (literally, the man will turn down sex on Sundays during football season - even in the beginning of our relationship!). So, yes, I have some kind of understanding when it comes to other ridiculous additions.... I just have a hard time understanding gaming. I do secretly judge gamers a bit... but I wouldn't not be friends with someone just because they are a gamer (however, I can honestly say I would never have dated/married a serious gamer!).

    ETA: @bowlwoman - LOL!! I am sooooo going to have to send that one to my SO! He is definitely into fantasy football and baseball too :P

  • So last week I talked about the bachelorette party I'm supposed to go to tonight. The plan was to just suck it up and go. Well, it's 1 pm here, and I'm now trying to figure out how to get out of it. I'm just so tired. I feel like a horrible friend.

  • Lol! @LadyThrice - I know right?! Obviously my SO has a serious addiction and should be sent off to some sort of sports gambling rehab! Oh wait.... he is about to have a seriously rude awakening when our baby girl is born because I don't think a dirty diaper, hungry baby, or gassy/colicy baby is going to give a sh*t about his need to watch the game or study football stats! :P On the bright side he is very aware that things are about to change a lot!

    New FFFC: I just found out I was accepted to the ARNP program I applied for...and I'm not really even very excited. I haven't told my husband. Not sure I want to do it. Part of it is because it starts in November and I have to fly there...which isn't an option at that point in the pregnancy). It's a ton more student loan debt. I just don't know. Bah, life decisions.
    @RaeChay - Awe, I totally understand and know how difficult these kinds of decisions or advancements can be during pregnancy or while thinking about the fact that you are about to have a newborn. Is there an option to defer the acceptance to the program for a year?
  • @LadyThrice‌ @MissChristineMarie‌ Swoon :x I'm also a handbag/tote/give me all the designer bags kind of girl.

    <-------------- treating myself to a Kate Spade diaper bag. I used a raggedy ass skip hop bag for 2 years! Since I actually use the bag you bet your ass I already told MH this was my splurge this time. I'm so excited to get my bag!!

    Yes! The pig butt cake! That was the cake my poor buddy paid $60 for because the hostess' "professional" cake making friend from school made it. It was the best part (in retrospect)

    Yes! You should definitely look in to /ask about deferment. Lots of programs allow deferment but won't offer it and you really have to push for it.
    I've been enjoying my deferment! I really didn't have a hard time getting it, just had to ask. Guess no one realy wanted a pregnant lady throwing up in the cadaver lab.

    @krystrist2014, @gradschoolmom1234, @coleycannoli: thanks ladies for the ideas/support. I did tell DH finally and he also is advocating for me calling and asking for deferment for a year. I plan to call on Monday and see what they say :) I think I will be in a better mindset for continuing education at that time.
    :) Glad to hear! :)

    Actually I don't work anymore and 80% of my clothes are still from NY&CO. Damn card and coupons!! They have the best mom jeans EVAR! ‌

    ETA: being a SAHM I'm eternally stuck in a weird in between of yoga pants or jeans. I never really made a smooth transition. But i also live in LA where it's either one extreme or the other.

    This isn't much of a FFFC but today at work, this girl was talking about her much older boyfriend (she's like 26 and he's almost 50) and she was saying how she never wanted kids. And so a friend of mine was like "well you need to be careful then, accidents happen" and then the girl was like "oh I could just fall down a flight of stairs if that happened" Let me just tell you, I literally could have jumped over the desk and punched her in the throat. It took everything in me not to just go off on her right then and there. I don't find comments like these funny.
    Someone would've had to restrain me from killing her. That is not funny at all for so many reasons.

    @krystrist2014I get that that was your FFFC, but the stereotypes of gamers really get under my skin. I married a big PC gamer, and if you spent 5 minutes with him, I bet you'd revise a lot of your opinions about gamers. I have never met one who wasn't a thoroughly "normal" person, with a steady job and healthy relationships. Don't make assumptions based on unfamiliarity -- you're likely to alienate a lot of really great people that way!

    @desertsun - Oh no! I didn't mean it that way... my two closest guy friends from college (like so close that they are invited to my baby shower) they are both HUGE PC game nerds! Lol. One of them was an aerospace engineering major in college and the other was actually a computer science major. They are both amazing guys! I meant it more in a sense that I just could never have dated someone like them because I just don't get gaming... and I cant stand the amount of time they put into it lol. I actually lived in a house with 5 guys for one year during college (all amazing guys!) and they would all sit in their own rooms for hours yelling across the hall while they all played the same game online hahaha. I just don't get it.... I found it a bit ridiculous.
