It's Flame Free Friday Confessions! Warning, things may not always be flame free.

I ate my bonus-son's bag full of sour patch kids that he got as a birthday present. Without telling him. Also, I ate the bag I bought to replace it with. Both were amazing! I feel no shame. He hasn't noticed (he's 8), and I'm afraid to buy another replacement because I am pretty sure I will eat it too. I guess if he notices, I will take him to the store to buy another bag, and make him promise to hide it or take it to his mom's house so I don't eat a 3rd bag. But now I want to go by the store on the way home and buy myself some more!

Disregard - after rereading my post it seemed more like an opinion than a confession so I moved it to the unpopular opinion post.

I just enjoyed several hours at an Oktoberfest taking childish delight in pretending to get tipsy with everyone. I'll have to remember to reassure my friends I was drinking apple soda when I come out. But for now I am sooooo full...

I'm avoiding my BF like the plague right now. I have no idea why. I just don't have any desire to talk to him or see him. He hasn't done anything to anger or upset me. Mostly he just gets on my nerves lately. He doesn't typically but these last few weeks, everything he says grates a nerve. His ridiculous political views, his Jesus freakiness (no offense to anyone but I'm agnostic), EVERYTHING.

Also, we found out I was Pg two days after my missed period. That was almost 12 weeks ago. He was suppose to quit, or at least cut back his smoking, and he hasn't and it's gross. I was a smoker before Pg but I didn't pick up another cig the moment I found out. Now that I don't smoke and have regained my sense of smell, along with Pg intensifying the senses, its gross and I don't want to ever kiss him.

DH's granny's birthday is this weekend, and the family is going out tonight to their fave greasy pizza joint to celebrate. I hate this place - it smells disgusting, the pizza is not good, and it's always awkward because they have terrible booths and we can't all sit together. I'm making DH take the boys and I'm staying home. I like his granny, but we just saw her last weekend and we'll see her again soon for DH's birthday (which is on Monday).

Oh wait! I have another one!

I'm going to quit my crossfit gym. I haven't been in a month, mostly due to the nausea and lack of energy. But I've been debating leaving this particular gym for a while because of the owner. He doesn't respect his members unless they are competitors (and most aren't), and the programming has sucked for a while now. So I'm going to use being pregnant as a convenient excuse for why I'm leaving.

@yodiggity congrats on quitting! I quit 11 or 12 years ago after 10 years of smoking (started young) and I felt great. Sadly, I developed asthma a few years ago and I think it's from the smoking for 10 years. I hope you stick with it after baby is born.

Thanks. I started steal my parent's cigarettes around 12 or 13! I'm 32 years old now so I've been smoking for close to 20 years. Gross. Though I do miss it sometimes, I don't know why but every once in a while I really want just one smoke but eww. I wont.

littlesocks · October 2015

@yodiggity congrats on quitting! That's awesome. Have you told your BF the smell of smoke repulses you now?

My confession: I'm pregnant with twins and I'm scared!! I have on DD who is 18 months and it was really hard in the beginning with just one. I don't know how people manage with 2 newborns (+a toddler).

Yes, I have. I'm going to have a sit down with him this weekend and politely explain why I wont kiss him. I've been "jokingly" saying, "eww, you stink" or something like that but I'm for real dude.

amandac12581 · October 2015

I really wish that people at work would write things down for future reference. I am getting tired of explaining the same thing over and over to the same people.

Pinguinageddon · October 2015

Tbh I am absolutely solid on getting bc after baby. I feel awful about it because we've ttc for almost three years.... But during that time, we were also financially stable, even saving up for a place in the states. Now that we've both lost our good jobs, I'm freaking out over groceries alone. I don't want to end up like my mother. I want to be steady again before we have another.

Ready4theParty · October 2015

I am an EA. My boss is working on descretionary bonuses for our team for year end. I've been stalking his email for his response as well as for the HR managers response. We won't know for another two months what was awarded and it is killing me.

I'm losing my resolve to breastfeed. I've been getting phototherapy three times a week to treat my severe psoriasis. The center, however, is an hour away from my home. I had intended to buy a home UVB unit to continue phototherapy after the baby is born, but when I mentioned it to the nurse today she said that due to patient noncompliance they have not let anybody get one for several years.

Making that drive three times a week will not be an option when the baby comes. If I can't get a home unit, my only choices will be to use medications (which can't be used while breastfeeding), or not treat at all. The flare my pregnancy triggered was so bad I had to stop working for two months until the phototherapy started to work...if that happens again, I can't not treat it.

I'm starting to think I'm only going to be able to breastfeed for a couple of weeks before switching to formula.

Oh man im sorry to hear that. Did you explain your situation to them? Is there any other clinic you could possibly go to? Its sad when moms arent able to breastfeed even tho they want to. I hope it all works out for you somehow.

rebelone · October 2015

I want to go home early. I might just tell work that I'm not feeling well but I'm actually just really tired.

imrachellea · October 2015

I'm excited for DH to run his marathon tomorrow but also going to be really glad it's over. His training has taken away from us time and him being able to help around the house as much. Plus he had to essentially give up lifting for a few months to focus on running. I'm a lifter so for me to be hitting the bar more than him, frustrates me.

amandac12581 · October 2015

@imrachellea good luck to your DH on his marathon! I'm a marathoner myself, it is a huge sacrifice of time. I'm sure my DH feels the same way you do when it gets to the end of a cycle.

I would try not to beat yourself up over it. A couple weeks of breastfeeding is better than none. (Not breastfeeding is fine too!) Im pretty sure I've read, that even if you just nurse at the hospital so the baby gets the colostrum that it can be good for the baby.

gingercatNJ · October 2015

@BrittnyS10 - I see the actual dermatologist in a few weeks and will try to make my case with him. There's one other center in the area, but it's almost as far away and the insurance companies give you a hard time if you try to get approval at two different places within a short time period. I can try begging my previous doctor, but I don't think anyone is going to authorize one of those machines for someone they haven't been treating. They can be pretty dangerous if used incorrectly.

@akb1125 - Thank you. I know it's not the worst thing ever (all DH's sisters' kids were formula-fed and were perfectly healthy). From what I've heard, the post-partum flare usually kicks in after 6-8 weeks, so hopefully I can get that first couple weeks in. My mom (a nurse) says the biggest benefit is in the first two weeks...

When people make controversial comments on friends posts to Facebook, I troll them like there's no tomorrow regardless of my personal beliefs. I wish people would realize that literally no one cares. Today's subject: Planned Parenthood. *facepalm*

JulienneNicole · October 2015

I am soOoOo over people saying I HAVE to want a boy or a girl more. I have 0 preference. Neither does the BF. We both had dreams about having a little girl the week before we found out so a few family members are convinced it's a girl. I only am hoping for a healthy baby.

Someone shared an article about a similar topic today, And I stalked the comments like you wouldn't believe.. It was popcorn worthy stuff..
(It was that article about the mom who wanted food stamps to pay for her gym membership.. the responses were mixed).

shawnacrest · October 2015

I may just freak out on the next person that tells me I should feel better by now. Yes, I know, I'm 14 weeks. No, I don't want to hear about how much energy you had when you made it to the 2nd trimester. Yes, that was me puking in the bathroom during lunch break. As nice as it is that people care, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm hormonal and sick and I want to be left alone.

Generally I try to be more productive with my time off, but I was honestly waiting for paint to dry on my 'new' couch cushion. I have to know if it's going to turn out before I commit to painting a couch, love seat, and chair.
