FFFC* 9/9

Let's get some confessions going!

*not guaranteed to be flame free*

yogadevil · September 2016

Tomorrow is mandatory fun day in the form of a family picnic for DH's army unit. DH already laid the groundwork to somehow use my pregnancy as an excuse to leave way early and we're going garage sale hunting instead lol. I'd rather search for a snow blower than shmooze with army wives any day

there's over a hundred sellers at the city event so we're hoping to score a dresser for the nursery and some other baby stuff too. I've never been this excited over a garage sale, ever, so I'm going ahead and calling it a pregnancy symptom

musicinmysoul17 · September 2016

I'm sitting at my desk, stuffing my face because it's Friday and I give zero F's about work today. I'm just hungry and exhausted.

MrsDramaK · September 2016

I'm in a very important meeting for work and I'm bumping.

MrsP052909 · September 2016

@yogadevil Mandatory "fun" days, in my experience, have never actually been fun. I usually sent DH with the kids and I would stay at home by myself. Garage sales sounds way better!

I get kind of prideful about my big turds. Like when my poo is "perfect" I'm like awe yeah, keep up the good work. Confession two: I almost always look at my poo. Not a full on exam but I always check it out.

I always check mine out, too.

DH and I have names for the kinds of poo we take, because they are all different.

I'm not alone!

DH gets really grossed out by it. Stuff You Should Know did a pretty good episode on poop in the spring.

Confession 3: almost nothing grosses me out and I sometimes forget/neglect the social norms of appropriate conversation.

varimama · September 2016

I was volun-told to be on the United Way team at work. Today we have a big rally with all the other nearby companies to kickoff the start of campaign season and we are all told to wear our shirts from last year. Last year I was given an XL shirt (I'm a XS-S normally) so I sewed it up and made it fit perfectly. It still "fits" in the sense that I could get it on however I'm spending the day worrying that it's going to burst around my bust and it is definitely showing off my baby bump. I've told everyone at work but usually don't wear skin tight clothes to work so this is the first time I've felt a little self conscious at work.

Gretchypoo · September 2016

+1 to checking out/ being proud of poop. I text my Hubs to tell him abt it sometimes.

my FFFC us that while I've never kicked Hubs out of the bed the dog and I are getting WAY too used to taking the bed while I'm prego... Hubs works nights, I work days and last weekend he said he couldn't sleep with me bc the dog and I crowded him out. I thought he was being a baby until I woke up this AM to this bed... whoops.

yogadevil · September 2016

@MrsP052909 Oh I'm with you! A close friend of ours is transferring to a different unit so I at least want to make an appearance for a nice send off. That and they're revealing info on the upcoming deployment (grumble grumble) Then I'll don my fanny pack and get in the garage sale state of mind, soundtrack pending

LivingLaVidaGinger · September 2016

My FFFC is that it's almost 11:30 and I'm still in bed because I am not emotionally prepared to go downstairs and start doing awake people things like eating and laundry.

MrsP052909 · September 2016

@yogadevil Let us know what kind of goodies you find! I love garage sales, Wyoming's "season" is already over though.

Spicyweiner · September 2016

PP reminded me of one I had before.
I cringe every time I see a picture of someone's dog in their bed.
My dog isn't even allowed on the couches.
Team no dogs on furniture.

silvercamaro77 · September 2016

@peachesnbean @BumpasaurusRex DD (4.5), DS (3) and my brother (31) exchange poop pictures via my cell phone. It's not with every poop, only the really good ones. DD and DS have had meltdowns because I flushed their "good" poop without sending a picture first. One night my phone was dead and DS wanted to save his poop until morning so that my battery charged back up. I about died laughing when he said that and I quickly convinced him that we needed to flush.

peachesnbean · September 2016

@Spicyweiner - I am with you. Dogs are yuck in a bed. I have a thing about bed sheets. When I SAH I used to change them daily, DH would be so annoyed because I was being wasteful. Now I only do it 1-2x a week and it makes me cringe. No way would I let my dog in there. Well, exception: a couple mos ago DH worked night shift and I was scared to sleep by myself (different house). THEN I changed the sheets daily.

yogadevil · September 2016

@silvercamaro77 LMFAO!! I hope you don't mind but I shared that story with DH and he said "See? This is why you have kids!!"

scifichick09 · September 2016

+1 to looking at my poops and not being grossed out by anything and forgetting social norms. Without thinking about it, while we were eating dinner I started telling DH about the dog throw up I had cleaned up that day and he stopped me mid sentence and was like "What the hell is wrong with you?! I'm eating!"....woops.

And on the topic of dogs in bed...DH literally has to scoop our Chihuahua off of his pillow every night before he goes to bed. Dogs in beds don't even phase me. I spoon with my terrier

yogadevil · September 2016

Re: pooping. Coffee + my new Squatty Potty = amazing pooping experience. My hemorrhoids and I are so content right now

Re: animals in beds, if I tried to kick my cats off the bed they'd burn the house down. Even locking the Siamese out of the room for adult playtime is an assault on the eardrums

musicinmysoul17 · September 2016

If we don't put our Chihuahua in his crate when we're sleeping (either at night or when H is day sleeping for work) he WILL be in bed with you. He may start out in his bed on the floor, but that usually doesn't last long. And if we're awake and kick him out of the bed, he just waits til we're asleep and jumps back in.

Gretchypoo · September 2016

LOL @Spicyweiner I can't be offended by wanting to keep animals off the bed-- but Hubs and I sleep separately during the week due to opposite schedules and I like the dog with me-- it does get pretty crowded though :-)

Our dog may have had a toy dubbed the "sex turtle" for just such occasions.

poofwok · September 2016

FFFC: my husband and I are both off work this week. DS is in daycare so we decided to do a whole lot of cleaning, re-arranging the kids bedrooms and working on the nursery. So about about an hour ago I asked H to do the dishes and vacuum and I told him I would take care of laundry. I'm suppose to be folding and putting our clothes away but instead I'm laying down on our bed in a pool of unfolded clothes, watching tv and bumping.

lfrank12 · September 2016

On the topic of poop, I am really really tempted to buy a squatty potty

glitterdragon-2 · September 2016

I'm having a garage sale tomorrow and I'm kinda worried no one will show up. I'm terrible at the advertisement part of it.

Spicyweiner · September 2016

My dog sleeps in our room with us, but in his bed on the floor.
My mom cuddles with her dog, and it's weird AF because we weren't even allowed in her bed as kids!

Haha this is funny to me, because I will be the exact same way. I'm totally fine with the dogs in our bed. But DH and I have both agreed that the kids are not allowed. My mom was the same way, her dogs slept with them, but if we wanted to crawl in bed with them for some reason, our only option was to make a bed on the floor.

This happens every day in our house! My husband is a doctor & starts to tell me about his work day when we sit down to eat dinner & i have a very weak stomach & have to stop him all the time! Whereas nothing grosses him out!

Xstatic3333 · September 2016

I don't fold clothes unless I'm having a really ambitious day. I leave them in the basket and take them out as needed. In general, a do a lot of the things you complain about your SO's doing.

Starfish113 · September 2016

Both of our dogs sleep in our bed (luckily we have a california king). BUT, with the baby coming, we have kicked them out. We bought them dog beds for our room and are trying to keep them down there. Just because we didn't want them to associate the kick-out with the baby. But it doesn't bother me as long as they are on top of the comforter, and we will probably allow it again once the baby is out of our room. So, not for about a year haha.

Ha! Me too.
I'm notorious for leaving the TP on top of the empty roll.
The other day I was both proud (of DD) and ashamed (of myself) when I sat the new one on top and she said "oh, I can do that Mommy!" and proceeded to change out the roll.

foxrosy · September 2016

I'm currently eating eggs and hash browns while reading all this poop talk. I'm the weirdo that can't even discuss pooping or passing gas to my SO even though I ask patients about their habits daily.

My confession: I hate when people start talking on their cell phones at strange times at the gym. Example: Yesterday I was in spinning class and in the middle this woman is suddenly having a full on conversation on her phone. In spin class! Another example, a man was furiously crunching away on one of those ab machines and on the phone talking! C'mon people!

I want one too!! I'm sold, just need to make the jump.

WinchesterGirl · September 2016

I shamelessly comvinced DH that he needed to read us a bedtime story earlier this week since the baby can hear us now, and I want him to hear DH's voice. He was not enthused, but he did it.

I count it as a total win however, because last night he volunteered to read us another one and even picked the book!

I hate it when people do it in the shared bathrooms.

Come on, dude. Can you please just tell Aunt Sarah that you'll talk to her later so I can shit in peace?

sunshine2417 · September 2016

@lfrank12 BUY THE SQUATTY POTTY!!! I promise you won't regret it! The first week or two there is an adjustment period to pooping with your legs up like that, but after you're nicely acclimated, you will find yourself intentionally waiting until you can poop in your bathroom with your squatty because you know it will be so worth it!

Lafreeman21 · September 2016

+1 team no dogs on furniture.

We do have 3 or 4 friends whose 10-25 lb dogs stay all over our furniture when they visit. They seem to really love the throw pillows without removable covers

We just told Emma they were cats, and that's why they were on furniture, lol.

@Lafreeman21 I love how your dog is cuddling with that soda bottle

Amber_Waves · September 2016

Gah! We're going to the shore this weekend. Yesterday I was informed that another couple is the group. Totally fine, they were on the maybe list and now they are coming, there is space. BUT I just found out they are bringing their kid!! Their kid who screams bloody murder at the sight of dogs! And our dog is supposed to be coming with us AND there is a dog at the house we're staying at (the owners are our friends/hosts and our dogs are buddies.) This is not a spacious house...not sure WTF anyone is thinking.

skiingstark · September 2016

Also team no dogs on bed. Dog breath and hair in the morning is a no go for me. But I do allow dog on our couch.
