Can we have a flame free confession Monday?
It's Monday, it's raining where I am at, I have a cold and I figured this might be a good day to have it. I have three! Feel free to vent here!!!
I love my cats but they have caused me to have to take down all my sentimental ornaments off my tree and not let me put my collection of Santa Clauses out. So my results are only red and gold balls on my tree and no tree topper because they tried to eat him and I wasn't having that! Frustrating!!!!!!!!
I am sickened by the way people are reacting to the hiring of Coach Chizik at Auburn. Don't judge a man by his two years of coaching at Iowa...that is a totally different program from one in the SEC and it's not the whole picture. More people should look at the fact that he was DC at AU when we went 13-0 and that he had just as much success at Texas. Be a real fan and give the guy a chance. He seems to have a lot of fire about him and that excites me! I was really glad to hear that he received a real welcome at the airport and the Auburn nation wasn't embarrassed by fair weather fans.
Okay now go with ya'll's!!
Re: Can we have a flame free confession Monday?
I really wish that I could take a year off w/ the baby.
I wish that we could spend the first Christmas w/ my family instead of DH's (we rotate each year). Although I really like my ILs, I hate that they were the first to get to see her/hold her, the first to see her smile, and will now have the first Christmas, when my parents have been much more involved in our lives up until this point.
I feel like I have wasted my time getting a degree. Everywhere I have interviewed says "We went with some one who had more experience." I have a freaking degree. If no one will hire me how am I supposed to get experience? I really need a new job!
I really want to break down but I know I don't need too. I'm just really frustrated with finding a job!
My confession is that I would love to sabotage my DH's attempt at making a stable in our yard
yet I don't have the heart to do it. It is hideous and it's so embarrassing and to make matters worse, it's sooooooooo BIG!! We have these three nativity figures, Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus...they look like Renaissance figures, carved and painted in delicate neutral tones. Well...I made the mistake of saying we needed a stable to put them in so Bob decides he will make one. I thought he was going to use wood...but no. He worked on it all day one day and made it from clippings off our crepe myrtle trees...oh yeah...the whole thing looks like yard clippings to me. Not only that, but then he hung these solar lights that put off a greyish blue light...these figures if they are going to be lit up they need a warm light...OMG, it's so awful I cannot even describe it. OH and we have a couple of concrete angel statues that sit in our flower beds...he put those alongside the Renaissance figures...I had to move those...I could not help it.
It's that (that he made it) and it's sad (that I hate it) and I'll never suggest this again. I keep thinking, it's only a few days until Christmas and I can yank it all down. LOL
Oh me. Sounds like it's a sight. Take pictures!!!
Ditto that.
I hate where we live. All of our time is spent going away for the weekend or planning our escape. DH is so unhappy in his job right now and when he complains I just want to go "Quit and let's move like we want to" even though I know how bad the economy is and how hard it is to find a job.
I agree with pp...you have to take pictures of this and post them for us to see!
I watched the press conference online and slurped up the AU Kool-Aid...forget the last week....Chizik's going to be great!!! WAR EAGLE!
I agree w/yall and glad to hear yall be supportive. It's been a crazy few days for us.
I saw Coach Price's wife in the mall last night and we talked for a while. I just feel so bad for them b/c all the asst coaches love it here.
