FFFC (Flame Free Friday Confessions)

Ladies,
Its Friday. My husband is at the local jail making a film. I have nooooothing to do today (ah, so nice) so I figured it was time to start my favorite thread (and clog up the board, so sorry!)

Confession: I still have 3 positive pregnancy tests that I peed on from this pregnancy in a drawer. I can't get myself to throw them away. I know, so gross. I have no idea what to do with them, but I can't get myself to part ways! DH has no idea I still have them. Here's hoping he doesn't find them #:-S

    @carleyec93 my husband saved mine!!! Lol I threw them away a couple of weeks ago. He wanted to scrapbook them or something. I told him I didn't want to scrapbook my pee.

    @sjra1028 Hahahaha! I definitely don't want to scrapbook my pee either! But I'm not ready to let them go! My husband would be HORRIFIED if I knew I kept them and would probably try to throw them away! :-S

    My DS fell asleep in the car on the way home. He was in a deep need of a diaper change but I didn't want to wake him up for that. So he will probably wake up flooded.

    Here's my confession! I'm very constipated today! TMI.. yes.
    But it's amazing how my FIL and my kids find the moment I'm in the bathroom to have a conversation with me through the door.... WHY????? I'm trying to relieve myself before work! Lol
    But I can't just shout that out bc a house full of boys would never let me live it down!

    @Saratiff Yikes! I have a sister exactly like that. It can really be too much at times. I'm actually in the same situation, but my sister is marrying a guy she has known for 6 weeks so she can't attend my shower and she is horrified that I won't be attending her wedding out of state in late July (uh NO THANKS). [-X I just try to tell myself that her issues with feeling insecure at this point in her life can't outshine the joy that I'm experiencing in mine.

    Flame free: or vent

    My older is sister is 6 years older than me ( I'm the youngest of five kids). Don't get me wrong I love my sister but I just don't like her very much. She is so selfish and self centered. And is the total embodiment of eyeore from Winnie the Pooh. If she is not happy no one is. So I take my sister in small doses and we are fine.

    So back story I got married before her, having a kid before her and now buying a house before her. And now she is engaged wanted to get married in August ( she was engaged after I found out I was pregnant not that it matters) so now it's my fault she has to wait a year to get married. She is mad I don't want to go bridesmaid dress shopping because you know I'm 6.5 months pregnant. And she is getting married August 2016. But then she says I will just make excuses because then the baby will be here.

    She also had to have her engagement party in June so my shower has to be less than a month before my due date because that's when her favorite flowers are in season.

    I am so happy for her and I know she feels like this is her time but like she is driving me crazy with all the we need to do all her wedding stuff now, and quite frankly I'm exhausted.

    That is exhausting...it's not your fault she's waiting a year to get married. There are months she can get married in. I mean I completely understand wanting to get married in a certain month, but I personally wouldn't push my wedding back a year to get married in that month. I'm probably not the norm though. I had always dreamed of getting married a certain time or year, but when I met my husband and fell in love it would have been a year later and that was too long. We had a short 4 month engagement!

    @carriebelle77 i havent taken mine for a long time either. Oops! After one day when i took them before going on some errands and had to use an empty fast food cup to throw up in, that was it for me. I feel guilty, but i forgot to take them for most of my last pregnancy and my son is perfectly fine and healthy, so i guess it cant be that bad.

    @Saratiff I totally understand where you're coming from! My brother just got married and the prep was very very annoying. She had me try on my bridesmaids dress 4-5 times in the space of one month. And she insisted on keeping the dress to make sure it wasn't wrinkled for the big day so each time I had to make space in my schedule for her.

    Yes, I'm pregnant/growing but cmon. Take it down a notch.

    Here's mine: I HATE with a passion the Amber teething necklaces that moms use. I know people swear by them but I remain convinced that it's a placebo effect. For the life of me, I'll never understand why moms disregard logic and put a necklace on a baby or toddler. I usually keep this to myself because it seems like I'm the minority and people are going to believe what they want to believe. I'll keep my tylenol and Motrin which actually has to be tested by the FDA [-X

    Well when you have your baby, you might find you will try AN-Y-THING to get them the f*ck to sleep at night. When they seem to be teething for months on end and you're at the end of your tether, you can't keep giving them painkillers every night and anything seems like a good idea....

    Been through teething....totally with @emmacake08 on this one....I am against them too and will also stick with Motrin, Tylenol, frozen teething cloths, ice in those mesh teether rings, etc...

    One of my best friends swears by them. Her 17month old daughter wears it ALL the time (bed, bath, play...) I think it's all in her head, but I keep those thoughts all in MY head cause I know she'd be offended.

    @kettlekitten clearly you don't read any of my posts because I have twin boys who have literally just cut all 4 k9s at the same time. Please don't make a crap ton of assumptions. There are a lot of good articles written by pediatricians discussing how they do not work. I'll keep my opinion, you keep yours. I'll just be happy my babes aren't sleeping in necklaces.

    I almost cheered when DS said he wanted to go with DH to pick up dinner instead of staying home with me. The thought of being able to sit on my ass and watch Netflix (even if only for 15 min) without a toddler yelling at me is thrilling!


    This is me all the time lately!!! DH always finds a way to talk DS into going places with him to give me a break. I am eternally grateful.

    Me three! Won't be attempting the teething necklaces at all. Of course I'm not giving my kid pain killers every night. There are tons of other methods out there. FYI @kettlekitten - in regards to the "when you have your baby comment" I'm pretty sure this isn't @emmacake08 first rodeo....just saying!
