FFFC - Flame Free Friday Confessions

KaLikeAWind · April 2015

Confession is good for the soul.

KaLikeAWind · April 2015

Yesterday I stayed in bed late (I didn't *sleep* late, I just stayed in bed late). When I finally got up it was almost noon and DH and I went out to get something to eat. For my first meal of the day, I ordered Pub Fries - large fried potato wedges covered and then baked with cheese and bacon. Tomato and chives thrown on after, and served with sour cream and salsa. I justified this by calling the dish 'home fries'. All I was missing was eggs. It was a proper breakfast, sure...kinda...
I also took a few teensy tiny sips of Hubby's Ale Asylum Madtown Nut Brown ale (just enough to wet my mouth but not enough cause a swallow reflex).

Totally lied to my husband about the cost of the furniture I just bought. Don't even feel so bad. I gave him a realistic budget and he asked me to cut it by almost 30%. Sorry but we were not finding some of that stuff for as cheap as he asked unless we w et to ikea...which is how we ended up with worn out needing to be replaced furniture in the first place.

LaurenAnn0405 · April 2015

My confession is mostly stemming from hormones but I'm worried about how having another child will affect my relationship with DD because she's been my sole focus as our only child for the past 3 years and I'm nervous that I'm not going to be able to give her and our new DS all the attention that they both deserve! I feel like it will be very difficult to try and split my attention between my sweet little newborn that I'm bonding with and my little girl who is used to having all of mommys attention. Like I said this is probably just the hormones talking.....

Last night, I ate the ears off my son's chocolate bunny... They were so good!

@LaurenCearfoss I have the same fear. My DS will turn 3 shortly after LO arrives. I know there will be an adjustment phase, but the fear is still real.

My confession is that after rushing out of a restaurant and having to get our food to go because I had a sudden bout of nausea, stomach cramps/contractions, and Braxton hicks that wouldn't subside that ended in a rush to the bathroom when we got home that honestly almost ended in disaster....I pulled the, "I'm going to go lay down" card even though I felt instant relief once I evacuated my bowels. DH took care if DS while I played on FB and The Bump. I don't even feel a little guilty.

finchfeeder80 · April 2015

Aside from all of the other fears I have about being an actual parent and not just Aunty Di, sometimes when I'm loving on my kitties all I can think is how can I possibly love something else as much as I love those little bastards? The idea of loving something even more than them and my husband is completely overwhelming and I'm terrified I will fail miserably at that and being a mother in general.

iheartpancake · April 2015

I told my dentist this morning if there was damage to my teeth it was from my extensive morning sickness. I did not mention the hideous amount of sweets I eat

. All checked out but I was fully prepared to lie right to that man's face lol.

@finchfeeder80 I feel the same way about my dogs! I know it's not the same when it's not your kid, but when my nephew was born he was my world. I lived with my sister and he and I have always been close. I could not fathom it when my sister had another child and how I could love them. I love my niece to absolute pieces. I now have two nieces and two nephews and I can honestly say your love won't lack. It will grow with your growing family. The fact that you worry about something like that is a reflection of your love for your baby already

Our pets will just have another human to love on them!!

OnWayto3 · April 2015

I'm not excited about the post-pregnancy part of life where I don't feel justified eating copious amounts of ice cream 'just because.' I think my kids are going to be sad about the transition, too!

Zeuskay01 · April 2015

My confession is I've had an amazing work week...why? Well Wednesday the property manager had to come to my house and do an inspection and they said that they would come anytime between 10 and 2. I told them at work and they told me I didn't have to come in at all (yayy!) Also, yesterday and today I had to take two tests for work early in the morning. When I finished taking the test (which was around 10am), I found out I didn't have to return to work because of that test! So I pretty much only worked twice this week meanwhile my hubby has been coming home a little late due to work. I feel a little bad BUT its been great relaxing at home

seesea · April 2015

I had some mini Cadbury eggs the other day. They were on sale and I couldn't help it. Not good for GD but so good for my soul.

laurendutch · April 2015

I used to love kids but once I had my own, I lost all my patience with unruly kids. Today I had to go to the cellphone store and there was two kids maybe 3 and 4, running around the store like crazy wild children. It was so bad! The Mom was just on her cell phone, couldn't care less that her kids were annoying the other 20 customers in the store. My kids were behaving so nicely and they kept trying to come play around my kids. I told the kids several times that they needed to stand next to their Mom and to leave us alone. I may have said it firmly and to the point.

Also, I have issues when I see preschool/toddler age kids walking around with binkies. I understand maybe at night and as a comfort thing but walking around ALL day long with it! My neighbor's kid is this way. She is a little younger but really smart. Can talk really well and coherently, if it wasn't for the dang binkie!

aliciac2008 · April 2015

I just broke the blinds in our kitchen by trying to scare a bird away. I'm going to try and convince my husband it was the cat.

Westypet · April 2015

Y'all have been hearing me bitch about being sick with bronchitis since Monday. Is it bad that I'm actually happy my husband is out of town until Sunday so that I can just lay in bed, unshowered, and coughing all over the room?

He keeps telling me that people can come over and help, but I'm secretly happy to duke this bitch out on my own.

kyleegail89 · April 2015

Mine is a doozy! After 3 years of in fertility struggles, I thought I'd love being pregnant, but I honestly hate it.

I loved being pregnant until I started having complications (PIH, headaches and preterm labor issues) and now I think we may be a one and done family. Don't get me wrong, I love our little one and his massive kicks, but I'm just over being pregnant.

Major props to you ladies that are pregnant AND taking care of little ones, you guys rock!

I remember reading a study a long time ago (like 5 years ago) that those that suffer from infertility may have higher chances of PPD. They feel additional guilt when they feel like they aren't enjoying every second of pregnancy and motherhood bc they wanted a child so badly. I conceived my twins with the help of clomid, so I could relate

virginiaunicorn11 · April 2015

On our beer weekend for DH last weekend I had a sip of about five of his beers over the course of three days. They were all lower than 5% alcohol and I have zero concerns about it. So @mellymar don't make me feel bad with your non-swallowing! ;-)

Yes! I have given kids the major stink eye in church many times for being obnoxious. I hate that.

I also hate when older kids have binkies... In my head, I judge the parents.

Haha! I seriously kept reading binkies as bikinis. I was so confused and was thinking, well heck, maybe she lives somewhere warm =D>

I have a glass of wine every now and then. Never more than one! The majority of doctors agree that a glass of wine or beer on occasion after the first trimester is totally fine. Breathe easy ladies.

I could see this being likely! I already have some anxiety issues and my husband has already mentioned PPD to me. Congratulations on the twins!

If hubs has a new, really good beer he has picked up I will try it and drink one to two swallows. I only did the mouth drink for that meal because I was still in the process of eating my first meal of the day, and the bartender had poured me out about 2 ounces just for me (she has had 5 kids, most of them natural / home birth, and does not judge) so that's how I 'drank' my 2 ounces. Technically, I did indeed drink that beer, cause I did finish the amount in that little glass. Just really really really slowly.
I'm waiting for a visit to a local brewery next month when I will break the rules a little bit and have a mini pint (like 8 ounces) of a special release they are doing. I'm also of the opinion a sip here and there is not a big deal.
Totally jealous of your German beer vacation. I would have done the same in your shoes. So, cheers to you!

virginiaunicorn11 · April 2015

I confess to wanting a boy. This is because a) I want to name him after my grandfather (a cool name that DH loves, too), b) DH is the "end of the line" as far as boys on his side of the family, and c) I don't like our girl names as much.

Above all else, I just want a healthy baby. And I will be more than thrilled if we have a girl. But if I could choose, it would be a boy.

The twins are 4.5

my friend who conceived through IVF, talks about the depression after having her girls. Her blog is called Someday Mama.

Thanks for the blog! I'll definitely check it out

I have another confession. This morning I went out for breakfast by myself. (I like eating by myself, its quiet, I get to read) I sat a table for two, and shortly after a guy came in by himself and sat next to me at that table for two. We exchanged a few pleasantries over our books but generally ate and kept to ourselves. After we were both done, he engages me in this conversation about climate change and how its all bunk and not real and on and on. Bottom line - I told him I had to pee (miraculously, I didn't) and apologetically shrugged and pointed at my bump to get the hell out of there.

mvargas12 · April 2015

I'm so blessed to be able to carry my baby but I have not loved pregnancy. I have had a complication free, easy pregnancy and I am so thankful for that but I feel like my body is not my own and I just haven't had the feeling towards it I always thought I'd have. I am just ready to have my baby girl in my arms and out of my body.

Maybe I have bad social anxiety but that would totally freak me out.

nenitalove25 · April 2015

Mcargas12 trust me I'm on the same boat I'm due June 22 and I love feeling my baby girl kick me and punch me but I'm so ready to have her in my arms I feel so honestly fat. I can't work out how I used to I can't be as active as I was. I'm so tired more than usual and I'm just ready to have my body back and have my baby girl in my arms.

hswan26 · April 2015

I hate not being able to take advil. Tylenol doesn't so shit.

We have old windows with lots of small panes separated by muntins... and one day our dog was digging in the dirt around a tree just outside the window... instead of being reasonable and calling her back inside from the back door, I knocked on the window pane to get her attention so that she would stop digging... apparently I was pretty frustrated and knocked hard, and I broke the pane! What's worse, is that this was months ago, and I haven't replaced it. We have big secure storm windows over the original windows, so it's not a temperature or security issue, and I cleaned up all the glass after, so nothing jagged there... just missing a pane. Probably should get on that before baby girl arrives, just to get it checked off the list!

I know Friday came and went but I'll confess that this meme came to mind as I read people complain about how "mean" some of the responses are ....
