The other night H was in a sassy mood. So when he asked me to get him a band-aid and some neosporin to put on his 100th injury of the week, I put a Hello Kitty band-aid on instead of a regular one. Super manly
I wholeheartedly agreed with the UO about how tweaking test photos is stupid, but what did I find myself doing this morning with my stark-white-to-anyone-but-me test? Yep.
I'm excited to move to the suburbs tomorrow because it means I will have contact with fewer people on a daily basis. And I think I will like people more if I see less of them.

DH had a surprise business dinner earlier this week, so I was on my own for dinner. After work, went straight to the grocery store and bought 3 pints of Ben and Jerry's, whipped cream, and fudge sauce. That was dinner.
FFFC? DH and I are making soup for dinner, but I'll probably have another ice cream sundae instead.
@BeachTigress, you can't just get rid of his dogs. He obviously cares a lot about them, going behind his back is sneaky and mean. Not to mention would almost certainly mean the dogs would be in a shelter and potentially put to sleep if they're not adopted. You'd be pretty much killing his dogs because... they sleep in your bed? Eat good food? Yeah, okay, that seems rational.
I came in an hour late to work today due to having too much fun at my bowling league last night and no one will ever know because on Fridays other people don't come into the office until later! I really don't feel like I drank enough to warrant the hangover I am experiencing... Damn mixed drinks at the end of the night, should have stuck with beer!
My H has two dogs that I told him not to get!! I’m home alone with the dogs two days a week and I plot ways to get rid of the dogs without hurting my H’s feeling too much. He feeds them top of the line dog food, which cost way too Ash9614 would agree with me since she also hates it when people treat animals better than humans. They need to learn their place!
Relax, folks, she's venting! Talk to your dh (again, if you already have) about how you feel and find ways to compromise. Tbh, you'll probably end up having to come around as it doesn't sound like he's being irrational or walking them in double strollers or bjorns. Tell him how you feel about him ignoring your wishes like that and also see if you can bond with the puppies and build a relationship. Getting rid of them? NOT a good idea.

He won't budge! He is set in his ways. He is going away on a business trip for like a week next month, so i figured I could just say that I was walking the dogs and they saw a deer and ran after them and they never came home. I win and then my hubby cannot be too mad at me because they ran away when I was calling for them to come back.

OMG! Please do not do that!!! Dogs are tiny people with fur. If you would do something so horrible then I think your relationship has deeper issues than just not liking his dogs. Have a heart!!
@BeachTigress I have no words...dogs are like HUMANS and should be treated as such. Therefore, make sure you make some 'missing' signs to post around the neighborhood to follow through with this plan.
Edited to say....please take a step back and read your posts again and consider your husband's feelings. Which you seem to not have!!
I have been useles at work on Fridays lately. Can't make decisions, can't force my brain to focus on boring things for more than 5 mins at a time. Counting down the mins until I take a probably longer than normal lunch break even though I'm not hungry. I don't even have exciting weekend plans and I'm not overly tired, just have no motivation and figure no one's going to care if this doesn't get done until Monday.

Are you kidding me?! Flame-free isn't happening. This is how animals wind up killed for no reason other than they aren't convenient, and that's awful. Shame on you. So they eat good food and want to be near their family when they sleep?! That's called 1) taking good care of living creatures that depend on you, and 2) dogs that love thir family. Get a grip.

You are kidding, right? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt because I can't imagine that you are truly thinking of going through with that plan.
I am not a dog person. I don't mind dogs necessarily, I just have no desire to own one/live with one/clean up after one. But my husband loves animals and had always wanted to get a dog. And since it's just as much his life as it is mine, I wasn't going to shut down his dream, haha. Sure, sometimes I'm annoyed, but I would never dream of getting rid of the dog. And especially behind his back. That is pretty heartless.

I started working out and dieting (dieting is not going so great) because when I am KU I want to look like it and not fat. I have 15 to lose till I'm at the top BMI that is healthy/normal for my height. This is mostly brought on by two friends who are pregnant. One was thin/normal and looks super cute with her bump and the other was obese and you cannot really tell she is six months.

I get that they are like tiny humans but when we have our tiny human its something that we want together. He asks me to take care of the dogs when he is not home and i do not think that is fair when i never wanted them in the first place. I try but I don't know how much longer I can keep trying.
I'm sure we will put up signs, but then some wind my knock them off after a few days.

What the hell is wrong with you?! Because they're inconvenient your solution is to kick them out the door with zero regard for their well-being and lie to your husband about it to get your way? I. Just. Can't.

I feel similarly. DH and I have been eating healthier since before TTC but I'm at the point that I will have to watch my weight increase if/when I am pregnant as I am overweight. I trained as a midwife in a different country almost 10 years ago (not currently practicing) and I learned then to not be the type of person to adopt the "anything goes cuz I'm pregnant" mindset. Instead, I'm the exact opposite in thinking (again, if/when i get pregnant) that it's time to buckle down and be healthy for the other life that will be inside of me. Be healthy and good wishes!

I'm sure no matter what you will look just fine pregnant!

Vanity is a bigger part that it should be as I've been fine being at this level of overweight for 3-4 years. I am doing it for the future baby in case the science of what you eat will effect their eating habits later is true. Using some weights because I heard pregnancy is very hard on your back and my upper body strength is pathetic.

Yes they are an inconvenience to me. They are not potty trained at all! I like to keep my house clean every day for the most part and these dogs are constently shitting in my house! And to make it worse my DH won't clean it up. If he doesn't want to take care of them then why should i?

The bigger issue here seems to be the lack of communication with your DH. Tell him how you're feeling and that he needs to step it up. Think about having kids...how are you going to feel if he refuses to ever clean up after them? To me, this is a red flag that a bigger conversation needs to happen.

----------- ^This. Aside from the fact that you are seemingly willing to just dump two dogs out the door (which is a huge issue), the glaring communication and responsibility issues with you and your DH should really be addressed.
At the VERY least, if you decide to up and get rid of them, surrender the dogs to a no-kill rescue for goodness sake!!
My confession: we currently have 2 women in the run for a presidential nomination and I don't believe that we should have a woman president.
Feel free to take away my woman card.
Totally agree kind of. I have no issue with a woman president. Just not either of the women in the race.
As for me: DH managed to rip the sleeve of one of his work shirts at the elbow (don't ask me how he managed it under his suit jacket...this is why we can't have nice things). I may or may not have taken the shirt, ripped out the seams and reassembled it to fit our 20 lb beagle just to see if I could do it. Totally succeeded and he looks freaking adorable in it BTW. He was a rescue who wouldn't hunt and shivers when it is under 45 degrees out so I may be taking an old sweatshirt and doing the same. I think he is looking forward to us having a baby so we can stop using his as our surrogate baby....

You don't believe we should have a president with a vagina in general, or you just don't like these particular female candidates?

I'm going to jump in on the dog convo, but can't bring myself to do a long quote.
@BeachTigress Have you tried training them? I feel like that's the first step before surrendering them and definitely before setting them loose on the street to get hit by a car. Especially if they are puppies. Good dogs aren't born good dogs. They come from good owners and good training. Your local pet store probably has classes you can take and there are generally people you can hire to do it for you. Then you may one day find that having them isn't bad. And it's definitely something you would want to do before having a kid in the picture. I also agree with you needing to work on you communication with your DH.
