Bring it.

nda_roxybabe · December 2016

I'm a snob. Not in the sense that I am rude to people or act like I am better than everyone. Just more so that I value nice things and can be a bit judgy. I sometimes judge friends wedding and baby registries. It's not so much about the cost of things either, it's more if I find them tacky or not. For instance, most of my clothes are Forever 21, H&M, and Target. They're not expensive, but they're cute.

DH has this week and next week off. While I'm happy that he has gotten so much time with our son (and it worked out, since daycare was closed this week), I kind of miss the one night per week when he comes home after I'm in bed. I love the man, but I also love eating whatever the hell I want for dinner, binge watching my Netflix shows, and cross stitching undisturbed for a couple of hours.

KMD1106 · December 2016

@kayemjay2, I can totally relate. DH has the exact same winter break as me and I wish I just had 1 or 2 days with just DD. I'd like to watch whatever I want at naptime and eat whatever I want for lunch.

sls · December 2016

@kayemjay2 DH and I are both always home in the evenings, and we have dedicated one night (Tuesday) as the "leave me the hell alone" night. We're both introverts, so nobody's insulted the other person needs a night alone.

ETA: My confession is that I could not give a rat's ass less about what people think of baby names. I tried to participate in the name thread, and all I could come up with was something not all that helpful. I don't want to discuss what our name choices are. I don't want to talk about what other people think sounds good with their last name. I juuuust caaaaan't caaaaare.

inomniaparatus2 · December 2016

@kayemjay2 I am the complete opposite of you. DH was on-call twice this week so he came home well after midnight and up and gone before I got up and was/will be late the day after each time. We watch our shows together so I have to wait for him. Plus I need him around to get some stuff done like moving our giant christmas tree out and help take the lights off. It stopped taking water over a week ago and I want to get it out before it starts dropping all of its needles.

onebadmotha · December 2016

@sls - I am the opposite re: baby names. I looooove discussing/judging other people's name choices. I'm currently cruising other BMBs' name threads, actually.

@SWE2 - DH and I have a ton of shows we watch together, but we also have our individual shows. I'm not interested in watching Arrow and he's not into Call the Midwife, so it works out...haha. It has been nice having him around to do household chores I can't/don't want to do though.

I think part (all?) of it is because our names are unusual. Not Apple or Kleenex or something, but not heard often in this time and place. Plus we chose DD's for the meaning behind it, and people are like, "Ahhh. Ummm. K," when they hear it. I actually got a rude comment from someone last week--to my face, about my 2yo's name! But even before she was born, we wouldn't tell people... precisely for that reason.

I'll end the suspense. Her name is Morrigan, who was the Celtic goddess of war and death. We want her to be a little ass kicker, and, well, she kinda is already. Yaaay terrible twos.

That's awful! Who would think that's okay? I may judge names internally, but would never insult another parents' name choice to their face. Also, your daughter's name is awesome. (Not that I would tell you if I hated it, I'd just remain silent...hahaha).

@kayemjay2 Cross stitching, yes!

I am obsessed! I made these for my son while I was pregnant last time, and just found patterns for the rest of the song! That's my next project. Also still working on a cute one with my son's name and birthday....though he's almost 14 months old...haha

schnitz9 · December 2016

@kayemjay2 I can totally relate. My hubby asked me the other night if he can take our son up to PA with him to visit his sick uncle for easter. He doesn't want me coming since ill be too pregnant. He asked if I would mind. I tried to contain my excitement and calmly said yes. All I could think about was me being 35 weeks pregnant and getting 3 days without him bothering me an chasing after a 2 year old! Felt a bit guilty but the thought of getting to sleep all day made me feel sooooo much better.

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

I was feeling a little crampy yesterday while H and I were picking up for the ILs to visit. It was contributing to some unfounded anxiety. Well I told him and he was like oh lay down I'll do the rest. I may have played that up the whole rest of the evening and I got out of cooking dinner, doing dishes, or basically doing anything all night except sitting on the couch and hanging out. Sorrynotsorry

These are awesome. I'm working on a Christmas stocking for DD. I finally finished DH's last spring... after 3 years. Because of the garbage fire that 2016 has been, I haven't had the energy to work on DD's stocking much. And now I have two more on the way?? Eek.

starphish18 · December 2016

@kayemjay2 Those are so cute! I've really been slacking this past year. I've been working on the same gardening cross stitch for my mom forever. Most of the things I've done are little animals, which I design and then put the pattern up on Etsy. Right now, I have them all hanging in the hoops on the wall near my crafting table.

onebadmotha · December 2016

@starphish18 - Those are adorable! How do you make cross stitch designs?

starphish18 · December 2016

Back to FFFC, though, mine is that I frequently ask other people to carry things for me now, even if they aren't actually that heavy.

starphish18 · December 2016

@kayemjay2 I bought a program called PCStitch 10. It took a bit of messing around with to understand all the features, but you create your own designs and can include an "info" page, which I use as instructions when I sell the pattern. The program is pretty neat, though. You can start from scratch or use a picture as a backdrop.

achays11 · December 2016

We had a retirement party for one of the ladies at work today and I may have taken a large slice of cake home for later. I'm also not telling MH about said piece of cake because I don't want to share.

KMD1106 · December 2016

I finally have a fffc. I just had my first sexy dream.

BeachMommy2B · December 2016

My fiancé is having a game night at our house, and DD is staying with my parents. So I'm being antisocial and laying in our bed watching Sister Wives! #iregretnothing

MrsFreeman2010 · December 2016

@KMD1106 I had sex dreams all night last night! Everytime I woke up last night I would go back to sleep and start a new one. I blame the "never have I ever" thread

psherman42wwsa · December 2016

I really miss wine.... And by wine I mean arbor mist peach moscado... I only drink the good stuff lol I'm not really a big drinker but I like things that taste like kool aide and gives you a buzz.

OmegaRose3 · December 2016

FFFC: I had a jack and steak taquito, buffalo chicken roll up, and a hot dog from 7/11 for breakfast...my onot regret is that I didn't get a second taquito

It's not really a confession unless you tell us about the dream.

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

I don't even feel like it's truly a confession, because I don't feel guilty, but I had several sips of MH's beer at dinner on Wednesday and tonight. So delicious. I have been CRAVING a beer lately and I think it took the edge off.

SparkySunDevil · December 2016

I keep having sexy dreams about my male coworkers

RedInLove · December 2016

@starphish18 I love cross stitch! I have PC Stitch as well, love it!! I've been working on this pattern forever. When it's finished, I have a white on black coffee themed pattern I recharted into browns and metallics for DH that I want to make. @kayemjay2I LOVE your song lyric patterns!!

starphish18 · December 2016

@RedInLove Hooray for fellow cross stitchers!

chailife34 · December 2016

Feeling so much guilt about mine: our whole family has been taken down by the plague (flu) and it's been so bad. Endless cough and congestion and on top of it all, DD and I both have eye infections. My confession is in a moment of desperation I took Robitussin DM, and didn't even think about impacts on pregnancy until the following day when I spent way too much time Doctor Googling its impacts. I won't make that mistake again!

I think Robitussin DM is on the safe list.

chailife34 · December 2016

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot I sure hope you're right because my dr seemed to think it wasn't

KMD1106 · December 2016

@chailife34, take this with a grain of salt because it's from Pinterest, but it says it's ok.

Squirtgun · December 2016

@chailife34 it's on my OB's official ok list!

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot · December 2016

I had a pharmacist tell me that I shouldn't take the behind-the-counter methy Sudafed. My OB says it's fine. I wish there was some consistency in these things.

chailife34 · December 2016

Thanks @kmd1106 and @squirtgun both Robitussin and Mucinex are on her "not safe" list but I'm thrilled it's not detrimental. @NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot - no kidding - too much inconsistency!

feeling much better now, thanks ladies. Glad I confessed

MrsFreeman2010 · December 2016

@chailife34 I have had a cold for a few weeks and asked my foc what I to take, she said okay to all of those as well as long as they don't have phenyl-ephrine (which is the good stuff that dries everything up)
