Super sick of being uncomfortable so I broke down and brought my yoga ball to work this week. Everyone's making fun of me but I don't care! It relieves some of my back pressure and you know... it's bouncy.
I hadn't thought about doing that! I still have a month till school starts, but I'm already dreading the desk chair.
@LiveNLove44 Wow that sounds intense! It's nice to know i'm not the only gal going through this! Fully clothed and bathed by 7am every single morning blagh.... We got this! :-bd
I had a coupon for 2 breakfast sandwiches from Burger King this morning and no on else in my office wanted the other one so I ate that one too. They were so good!
My mom grandma and bf all decided to call me at the same time & I ignored their calls and sent them a txt that I'm taking a nap... I'm really just in bed with the lights off and curtains drawn eating a bag of Doritos. Mama needs some quiet time.
I know this sounds crazy, so a little background. Two of my dear sweet friends decided they were going to throw us a baby shower. A month ago, within a week of each other, they each lost their jobs. I voiced that if it was a financial burden, please tell me and no hurt feelings. I'd had another girlfriend offer to throw it instead, but I'd explained the situation and said I was trying not to hurt feelings and I fell do blessed and greatful at their kind offer. So, my other friend said just let me know, no problem. I had lunch with one if the gals wanting to throw the shower who told me today, we can't afford to throw you a shower. I have called my other friend who said she'd love to do it. My confession is I'm greatful my girlfriends decided to be honest with me. I never want to be a burden on anyone. I feel bad for them having to admit they can't do it, but am relieved that they were honest. I love them even more for it.
Tldr; Girlfriends lose jobs, want to throw shower, can't throw shower. Confession relief have honest friends.
@AshleyLowry Wells Fargo is Satan and refuses to do anything to help their customers ever. The other few are other private loans and a couple government, I will definitely look into it some more. Any help would be amazing!
A really good friend of mine is having a party at her place tonight, and she throws really fun parties. Kids are all invited. Problem is I am exhausted and lazy, it's 20 minutes away, and it starts an hour before my son is usually in bed. Instead of being honest with myself and responding with a "sorry can't make it!", I thought maybe we could do a late bedtime and at least hang for a while. I'm now waiting til the last minute to be a total jerk friend and cancel last minute with a lame excuse.
I posted earlier in the week about parents letting toddlers throw fits in restaurants, and I actually think some of the posters' responses were pretty nuts. Especially the ones that insinuated that unless you're at a fancy restaurant or black tie event you really have no right to complain, even silently to yourself!
I googled why my right buttcheek hurts so bad and now I feel dumb. I totally thought it was sciatica but pelvic girdle pain makes so much more sense. Having that answer didn't get me any closer to solving this excruciating pain that makes it hard to walk, sit, or stand.
I've got my 13 year old SIL over for a sleepover tonight. I just turned on some video games for her and I'm about to take a nap. Even though I didn't wake up until 10:30, I'm exhausted.
My confession is I can't remember anything anymore. I feel like I'm losing my mind ... So I went to my eye appointment 2 hours early last week.. Then I went to my drs app on Wednesday .. Turns out it wasn't until Thursday so I showed up a whole day early !!! Then today I went to the dollar store to pick up a few craft items and left my bank card on the shelf while I walked all around, luckily I found it !! Then I put the ham on the stove and went upstairs to finish folding the laundry and I hear my boyfriend scream "OMG DID YOU FORGET ABOUT THE HAM"... I come down stairs to the ham sizzling to the bottom of the pot, luckily it was just the really fatty part that I discard anyways... Just been a long week for me !!!
@amberrmariee20 I totally feel for you! I'm so forgetful and it feels like my mind takes awhile to catch up. My DH teases me and says that he will just wait while my brain starts firing up.
@amberrmariee20, I hear ya! I've been pretty absentminded lately, especially today. I put a load of laundry in the dryer and forgot to turn it on . . . Oops!
My confession is that I really effing hate baby shower threads. Moreover, I'm getting really tired of seeing threads about people being 'stressed out' because they're having like 900 baby showers. Like, ok, I'm sure it probably is really stressful, but honestly, it just looks like you're humble bragging. Sorry, not sorry. I'm grouchy as shit today.
My confession: It drives me nuts that when someone says they don't want to take the 3-hour glucose test everyone comments "Oh, trust your doctor." (Not that I disagree with that). But then if someone says their doctor warned them about their weight going up too much everyone says "You need a new doctor! That is not okay! Do whatever you want!" I don't think the doctors are trying to call any of us fat, they just want us to be healthy for us and for baby. I truly think they have our best interests at heart when they say to be careful with future weight gain or to avoid certain foods, it is all for the health of baby.
My FFFC is that I bought that Candy of the Month thing last month, planning to give the candy as a gift to my grandmother for her birthday (she has a big sweet tooth, and at 90, she gives absolutely no f's). But instead I ended up eating it on the way up to her party and getting her something else instead. Also, I 'forgot' to cancel this month's shipment, so I'm sitting here typing this while I enjoy saltwater taffy and sour strawberry drops.
I'm super jealous of anyone who doesn't have to work full-time. I live through your posts about being home in your PJs at 12pm, napping during the day, or walking out to the pool or grocery store at 2pm. I SO wish I can work part-time at least or be a SAHM for a little while, but I owe so much to student loans, there's no way we'd survive comfortably on one income for the next year at least.3-4 hours a night at home with DH Monday-Friday is not enough!!
Ahhhhh yes. We are in the same boat. Too much student loan debt. It's disheartening! If we didn't have that debt, I could definitely work half time or stay at home. Maybe by the time we have out next kid. I always wanted to be a SAHM. Hopefully I can drop to 30 hours after this baby, but we'll see.
I forgot to find out what time I'm working tomorrow. It may be 11...it may be 1. Realized around 830 tonight so I guess I'll call first thing tomorrow.
My confession: I don't want to a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding. The bride has asked us all to find dresses in a certain shade of pink, with her approval before purchasing. I told her my options would be limited, and I've sent her two options thus far that she has turned down. I feel like I've tried my best to participate in her wedding functions, spent a lot of time dress hunting, and she's been very demanding- I really just want to decline. Ugh. And I am positive if I say something she will respond that I'm just being hormonal. Which is even more irritating!!!
@elmann1 I work full time and get to do those things, but I work crazy long days (10-12hrs) Friday thru Sunday and Tuesday nights. The grocery store sure is a different place at 11 am on a Wednesday!
It is a different schedule for sure. But I love pool time at noon on Monday when no one is there.

That's so frustrating. I let my girls pick their own dresses for my wedding and they all looked great together. You're not being hormonal- that would irritate me pregnant or not!
Confession: I am annoyed at my baby shower host. She has a tiny apartment up two flights of steep steps in a building with no elevator. Downstairs is a huge open gallery. I have a mother and sister in law who walk with canes and have a very hard time getting up stairs. We also have over thirty guests coming. I don't know why, but she decided it was more convenient to do the shower in her apartment rather than the gallery. My family is already complaining to me about it. I understand their frustration. I'm just going to go and have a good time, but I annoy looking forward to all the side-eyeing I know is going to happen. Social stuff makes me really anxious. Especially when people aren't happy with each other.
My confession: As much as I miss my husband when he is gone, I was secretly happy when he left for a week yesterday because it means that I get the entire bed to myself. Ahhhh, the bliss of rolling across the entire bed all night long.
@millette2015 glad I'm not the only one. A few weeks ago my husband was gone for work for the week and I slept so good being able too roll all over the bed!

I'm taking it all back. The shower was amazing and my friends did an amazing job and people got up the stairs just fine.
Re: FFFC. It's good for the soul.
My confession is I'm greatful my girlfriends decided to be honest with me. I never want to be a burden on anyone. I feel bad for them having to admit they can't do it, but am relieved that they were honest. I love them even more for it.
Tldr; Girlfriends lose jobs, want to throw shower, can't throw shower. Confession relief have honest friends.
