FFFC (3/17)

Re: FFFC (3/17)

    Mine is silly-it's St Patrick's day on a Friday during Lent- so my confession is that I'll be eating meat today. I can't pass up corned beef and cabbage today...I may even wash it down with a Guinness beer.

    Besides trying to get my work account re-activated (so I can keep up with deleting daily auto-generated reports), I haven't even thought about work or what's going on there.  I thought it would occupy more of my brain while I am home...  But, the days are flying by and I really don't care.  It's weird.

    @MLRocha I feel the same way about work. Usually it is on my mind all the time when I am at home, I expected it to be a struggle to disengage from work on leave. But since I set my out of office notification, I think I've logged in to my work account once. I dropped by the school recently to drop something off and discovered that it was spring break... whoops...

    I'm told there's a special dispensation for corned beef and cabbage today, so if you're Catholic you should be guilt free!

    Mine is serious. I don't always wake up immediately when my baby cries and I feel like crap about it. I've always been a sound sleeper but I thought hormones were supposed to kick in to help with this. He's in a crib in our room, so he's safe, but I just feel so bad about it.

    @Xstatic3333 don't feel too bad. Running on such little sleep doesn't help. I just told @yogadevil that 2 nights ago I remember Austin crying and waking me up, but I don't remember getting out of bed or anything. All I remember is pumping and Austin screaming crazy. I thought to myself geez what's his deal right now... after I finished pumping I thought maybe he was *still* hungry, but he ended up eating a lot!! (Bottle fed breast milk) but it took until the morning for me to realize that I *think* what happened was I heard him cry and woke up but skipped feeding him or changing his diaper and went straight to pumping. He ate after I pumped but I still felt bad that he cried the whole time I pumped... I guess this is a confession too lol

    @Xstatic3333 Thanks for the reassurance!  I am Catholic. I imagine I'm not the only Irish Catholic indulging in corned beef and beer today.

    my lo was sick all day yesterday and I guess to make up for barfing all over me multiple times, she gave me a glorious 7 hour stretch of sleep last night. It isn't typical for her to sleep so long, but I'm guessing she was tired from being sick. Either way, I loved every second and don't feel bad at all that I slept the whole time too.

    Whoops. Already had bacon today. Might as well keep the meat train rolling at this point :)

    I didnt go off anything for lent - i figured i went off alcohol whilst pregnant & all sweet stuff having gd for months so giving myself a by this year. 

    Also in ireland its a thing to break lent on paddys day but corned beef & cabbage isnt a thing here.

    I'm catholic and of Irish descent. But I forgot to do lent this year and I don't like corned beef. Whoops!

    My FFFC is that I've never followed lent, even when I was living with my parents and they wanted me to. Benefits of being an atheist, I guess? 

    BUT I'm super excited about all the fish frys in my Catholic town! We have a Spanish Catholic parish that makes homemade tamales every year. YUM.

    My confession is that I feel bad I really don't like one of the gifts I received for my baby boy. It came from a woman(who I have never met) at my dad's church, and it's a hand made knitted blanket and a little stuffed toy/blanket thing that says: "Jesus Loves Me" across it. I know she put a lot of thought and effort into it, and it was very kind considering she doesn't know my husband and I, but I hate the colours of the blanket, and I don't like the little stuffy thing because I no longer identify as Christian, and my husband never has. I really don't want the gifts but I would feel like crap if I gave them back, and I'd give them away but we live in a small town and I'm afraid she'd find them at whatever thrift store they'd wind up at if I do get rid of them. Hell I feel like crap for even entertaining the notion :/

    Do you have an attic? That's where I put the crap I don't want but can't get rid of.

    When we got married we got a bunch of religious stuff from H's family's friends. We are not religious and it wasn't our style at all. Write a lovely thank you bc it was a lovely thought. Put it in a storage room and trash it after 3 months. (I'd normally say Goodwill but I get the small town thing.)

    @homemake and @Gretchypoo I'll likely do a combo of what you've both recommended. I don't have an attic but I have a stellar crawl space storage area and it'll probably live there in a bag. However, I will write a thank you card because that is the very considerate thing to do. When dad was dropping things off I asked for addresses and contact info and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the advice guys, and for not thinking I'm a total b**** ^_^;
