Flame Free Friday Confessions let hear them :-)
Re: FFFC 11-20
This is mainly because my kids (and the line of cars behind me and the bus) were almost late to school that was just after where this bus was picking up because we had to wait for almost ten minutes most of that was waiting for the mom and child to just come outside. The rest was the driver raising the wheelchair ramp and then strapping the child in (this is necessary and I'm all for waiting for safety).
But I dont think it's unfair to want your husband to help out in whatever ways he can and work with your day to day life.
I feel guilty that this scares me more than the thought of LO getting a cold. If he was sick with something scary like strep or a stomach bug, it would be different (then i might consider his suggestion of asking my mom to come stay with us -but for a cold that could linger on, that seems a bit much). I dont want LO to be sick but I'm not sure we could avoid cold symptoms from affecting our family from now until March anyways. And it's more overwhelming to think of going into quarantine and exhausting myself being completely in charge of her (probably making myself more susceptible to getting sick).
We decided that he would just wash his hands a lot (and I will keep the house disinfected) and wear something over his face so he doesn't breath on her. But I still feel a little guilty. Maybe my reaction should have been more protective, to be so scared of her getting sick that I would do anything to shield her, even sacrifice my sleep and sanity. And I think I would if it was a scary illness. But for just a cold, I just feel overwhelmed at the idea of being abandoned to do everything by myself!
I think SO is going to propose soon and I'm trying to not question everything to figure it out.
He has been researching engagement rings for over a year. We've looked together but I told him I preferred to not know what ring he chose until he gives it to me. Well I'm almost positive he's purchased one or is in the process of purchasing one. He keeps telling me it's coming soon even though I tell him whenever it happens it happens. I'm Super excited but I'm the person that usually figs and tries to figure everything out. I'm going crazy lol
My FFC is that next Friday, my inlaws are having a photographer come in and take photos of the entire family. This is a super rare year and all 6 of his siblings (blended family) will be in town will all the grandkids. It's exciting but this is going to be rough. I'm a photographer, so I hate to be in front of the camera. I have lost a lot of weight since the last time but I no longer have dress clothes that fit. We have gone from dual income to my being a SAHM, money is tight. I need 2 shirts because you know LO will spit up on me aND i only own jeans that fit, we hAve to wear dreas pants. My inlaws don't even think about that, so, my parents offered to pay for my outfit as part of of my Christmas. There is some other family issues at play, as well. So, I have to load up LO (who I had to buy a dress shirt for) and spend all day up there. My husband has to use his lunch break for this, so he's going to be rushed. It's going to be stressful and instead of looking forward to it, I'm dreading it. I love his family but I am not a fan of this at all.
Only DH is a Marine, so he will never move to another country. But its nice to think about the possibilities!
I guess I'm on this kick of realizing that my son is a person, even though he's just a little guy right now. I think we should treat others how we want to be treated- with respect- even if they are babies.
