    @kbrands7 The kids were here all day everyday last summer because we had a pool set up. This year I told the parents and the kids that I'm not doing this year. I will have 4 kids, the oldest one turning 6 in August, and I cannot/will not do it. I'm not a babysitter. The older kids are sometimes worse than the younger kids. Last summer, when I had a napping 1 year old, the older kids in the neighborhood (10 years old) would literally run around my house banging on my walls and yelling for me to open the door and let the kids play. Needless to say, I lost my shit! Honestly though, the parents/adults in this neighborhood are just as bad, if not worse, than the children here. They are constantly asking for favors, rides, help to fix something, borrow our phone?? etc. 

    @Spylon DH and I are starting a business right across the street from where we live so that's ultimately why we live here. We found a place up the road that is really secluded, fenced, beautiful, etc. it's not up for sale yet but she wants to sell to us because it's a fixer upper and we would take it as is. Fingers crossed for that! Oh, and I believe it was you, but I remember seeing "baby Case" on the baby shower thread and was wondering if that was your last name or possible baby name. Seems really random I know, but DH wants to name our baby boy Case and I want the name Kasey so I was curious.

    I want to go curl up in a ball and cry the rest of the day instead of working and honestly I could care less if anyone said anything. The birth center made our level 2 scan appointment for us for next Tuesday. The hospital doing it just called to let us know the deductible is due at time of service. How much is it? $525. And that is just the portion my insurance isn't paying. I don't even want to know how much it is normally. Ugh. Thankfully it obviously goes towards our deductible and we have the funds in our HSA already so I'll likely be getting some of the pre-paid stuff back from the birth center. However I absolutely cannot wait to see how long that is going to take them to do...

    DS usually naps for at least 1.5 hours and today he only napped for 45 min. He was really happy playing in his crib so I let him hang in there. Mommy needed a few more minutes to get herself together. 
    Ummmm, I hope this isn't flame worthy!!  When DD was still using her crib I left her in there for as long as possible if she was content.  I miss those days, damn big girl bed.

    While we're on the subject my confession is that I can't stand most of my neighbors, and I hide from all of them, even the ones I don't mind.  And I'm so tired of giving money to the local high school sports teams that come around seriously every couple of weeks that I've stopped answering my door, too.  
    My FFC is that we've lived in our neighborhood for nearly 3 years now, and the only neighbors I have ever met are the ones on either side of us (and I barely know them) because I purposely avoid them all. They seem like nice people, but I'm such an introvert, and I like my home life to be free from the stress of dealing with acquaintances.  I've only spoken to the guy on one side of us a couple of times (usually when his kids run over to see my dog and I feel obligated to make small talk), and I've never met his wife (although I see her come and go regularly).  The neighbors on the other side are really nice (DH talks to them all the time an occasionally golfs with the husband), and I'll occasionally talk to them if they're outside and speak first.  They invited us to the cook out they're having tomorrow night, and I really don't want to go.  DH is out of town, and I won't know anyone else there, but I feel obligated to drop in for at least a little while since they'll see my car and know I'm home if I don't. Also, we had them check for packages and put some boxes in our garage for us when we were out of town last month, which makes me feel even more obligated to show up.  I may see if a friend wants to grab dinner so it won't look like I'm there and just skipping it.  I think pregnancy has made me even more antisocial than usual lately!  
    I hear ya. I have one neighbor I really like (she's cat-sat for us a couple times) but I find myself even avoiding her lately.
    Every time there's been a block party we've conveniently been out of town or had other plans for the evening.

    @dsmith211 - Hang in there! Eventually, you're going to have your beautiful baby in your hands, and this rollercoaster you're on will be over.

    @dsmith211 Sorry you're going through so much. When I called to register at the hospital, the woman told me I HAVE to pay my deductible before I am admitted. My remaining deductible: $2,4xx. Can you say tax return?!?

    I can be stingy with my Love It's. I mentally called myself out Wednesday because I only clicked a Love It for board regulars. It just feels weird clicking it for those who only post on HDBD. 

    I also need to confess that after recognizing the above confession on Wednesday I made note of it in my phone so I could remember to confess it here today. I would've never remembered what I wanted to confess if I hadn't written it down. 
    Went and checked mine and you weren't on there.... Understandably upset :wink:

    No! I thought about how that was going to look after I posted. 
    Probably an UO but I'm not a huge fan of HDBD. I sort of get board with the pictures after it goes more than a page. If I forget and don't look early enough in the day I give up.

    My FFFC is that today was my last day of work before maternity leave and I did as LITTLE as possible.  I had no energy.  And considering my last client of the day (a 6 year old) had a massive corn-filled diarrhea explosion and I had to try to take her downstairs to her mom (almost falling on their insanely waxed floor), I don't feel guilty at all. 

    To add to the neighbors conversation - I WISH we had more relationships with our neighbors.  We moved a year ago and our previous neighborhood was very uppity.  If you didn't have kids, which we didn't at the time, the other moms wouldn't even speak to you.  On the day we moved out, my dad and I were outside the house putting boxes in the truck and the neighbor to the right came over and spoke to my dad and ignored me.  The house we are in now is in another small town, and we have an empty lot next to us, and our house has a 1/10th of a mile driveway while everyone else has very short ones.  So I feel like the oddball out.

    I honestly didn't even try to go to work today. Normally I try to pop in at least long enough to check my voicemail and see if anything new landed on my desk, but nope, not today. Today was 100% work from home, and I am not even a little bit sorry.

    I'm on the treadmill right now walking at a snails pace. This is not a humble brag. This is just to confess I bought two small pies yesterday. 

    They're gone. 
    I found a book at the dollar store called Humblebrag and it was hilarious. I have a friend who humble brags about 5 times in an hour long conversation if not more. I put the book on my coffee table hoping she will pick it up one day.

    This sounds EXACTLY like me, except we've never had the neighbors help us with anything. I feel bad that we've lived here for three years and we've only maybe said two sentences to anyone in the neighborhood.
