'Fess Up Friday
Ok ladies let's hear your sins, mishaps,blunders, evil thoughts, whatever you want
Re: 'Fess Up Friday
Love this!
I went Starbucks at 9pm last night for a pumpkin spice latte and a pecan cookie thingy. it was yummy but afterwards I went like poo.
I can't stand bait and switch people....for instance don't write stupid sh!t on your facebook that makes people ask whats going on. I.E. "I have some HUGE news...." "I'm tired of waiting...." etc...I refuse to respond to these kinds of posts. My cousin is HUGE on this and its bugging the crap out of me.
I need to clean the house for the in-laws tomorrow and I really don't want to.
I just took my nails off and they look like crap. I will get them on again tonight or tomorrow, because I am pathetic and wont wash my hair without them on.
:-)
Great idea Kat!
I have been feeling way too sorry for myself lately and focusing on the negative rather than being thankful for what I have.
I am incredibly tempted to sped money I don't have - what's more debt when you just bought a new A/C system??
I know I have loads more but can't think...
On the way home from SD yesterday we stopped for gas and I ran into the store to get a bag of chips (chile limon lays- YUM!). A couple hours later my left boob felt itchy. I pulled my shirt out and saw some red markings on my bra...I freaked out thinking maybe I'd been bit by something...so I reached in....and pulled out a potato chip
DH could not stop laughing.
LOL!
I haven't cleaned my floors in a week. They are so hairy. It's bad.
I haven't cooked dinner all week either.
I get mad at H for not helping out, but when I am home alone I don't do anything productive, when I probably could-but I lie and say I can't because it's too hard with Mary.
Oh, this is awesome.
I told P that I was going to pick up some groceries last night, which I did, right after I made a quick stop at Macy*s & bought 2 pair of shoes & a shirt. Hello, all that for under $30.
I got irritated that P didn't hang up C towel, but decided to let it go because sexsounded better. hehe
I purposly let my phone go to vm when my mil called this morning that way it would give me time to come up with the excuse if needed.
Turns out all she wanted to know was if I wanted her to bring back anything from Cracker Barrel.
I don't think motherhood is making me a better person. It's making me a frumpy, grumpy, bitchy person with zero patience. Charlotte is waking up several times throughout the night, and the longest period I've slept in 2 weeks is 2.5 hours. All my good positive energy is reserved for the baby, so the dog, the hubs, and myself are assed out.
I'm annoyed that everyone keeps scolding me for not having left the baby yet. Well, I finally asked several family members if they could babysit for me on Saturday so I could go out and catch DH's band play, and no one will.
That bugged me too. I had a lot of offers for help in the early weeks/months when I wasn't ready to leave Mary yet. Then now, nobody offers. Oh, what I'd give for a pedi.
CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
The kicker is that his family members that we asked said no because they want to go see his band play Saturday. Um, I'm his wife, and have only seen one show, 5 days before I gave birth. His brothers and sisters have been to several shows now, it's my turn damnit!
And I'd die for a pedi too.
I'm irritated with a friend of mine that loves to compare our kids - 'My daughter is doing this - -how about the kiddo?' ?Oh - T's not doing that yet? My Daughter has been doing that for months! ?Can T count to 10 yet? 15 you say? Well, my daughter can go up to 20!
Gahhhh!
I told MH that I get off work later each day this week, but really, I just wanted an hour to shoot the sh!t by myself.
?
Me too! Somehow alot of the help fades away after a few months. I'm also irritated that nobody offers to watch him at our house. It's kinda hard when we have to pick him up after he's already asleep. It totally disrupts his routine and he sleeps horribly, so that makes me not even want to try to go out and do anything.
This is not really a confession, more of an OMG moment.
I started my period early this morning (TMI, sorry) and during 4th period (around 10:30am...its a min. day!) my jeans felt wet. I thought I had leaked through my jeans, so I got a sub to cover my class, and went to Target. I had leaked a tiny bit, but not enough for anyone to notice. I bought new jeans anyway, changed and came back to work. My boy students were so confused as to why I left (I just told the class I needed to go deal with an emergency), but several of the girls gave me very sympathetic looks. I think tying a jacket around my waist when it is 100 degrees out was a big tip off.
Extremely embarrassing, but at least I got new jeans!
Awwww Janet we've all had something like this happen. It's soooo much fun being a woman (sarcasm)
My confession is I'm so b*tchy/emotional lately.
Everything is irritating me and I'm not sure why I'm so b*tchy. Also I just got all teary eyed watching The Patriot. A movie I've see tons of times.
Oh well, maybe it means I'm getting my period and can start with the next cycle.
Maybe something is in the air or water? I swear I am the most emotional I have ever been this past month... poor DH
Yup. Me too. I should be starting anyday. Thank goodness. I can't handle this bad mood much longer.
According to H, I'm with you guys on the b!thchy thing. But really I think H is just being way too sensitive and I'm getting tired of apologizing when I don't think I said/did anything to apologize for.
A friend announced her pregnancy this week and it bothered me a lot more than I wanted it too, which also means this whole TTC thing is wearing me down a lot more than I'd like to admit.
OK I confess..
being there for Kingston was a bit hard. Val and I started trying for #2 at the same time and now she has a newborn and I'm still not pregnant. While I'm more than 1000% happy for her I confess came home and cried for myself.
Then I felt so guilty about it I had to confess to Tiff.
Having P I feel like I don't have the right to feel bad. I feel bad about feeling bad.
I know I have no idea what you ladies are going thru but I don't think you should ever feel bad for feeling bad. This isn't like you feel bad for not having enough money or better clothes or being thinner. This is a feeling that comes from deep down. That I'm sure you feel from your toes to the very end of each and every hair. Like a part of you is missing. That's not a hurt you can just turned off. If you were telling people you didn't want to be near any babies or if you were bitchy about it but not doing anything about it than that's another story. But that's not any of you at all.
I don't really have any advice but if ever want someone just to listen I'm there.
Ok, my confession- you just made be bawl like a baby Kat.
"This is a feeling that comes from deep down. That I'm sure you feel from your toes to the very end of each and every hair. Like a part of you is missing." That just hit it right on the nose... good times.
Its nice to know somebody "gets it"- because most people don't seem to get it, and that is my issue. Dealing with people / family / friends who constantly ask the question "when are you guys having kids", or "you would make such a cool mom"- just kills me- and I don't know what to say to them.
So for now I am determined to have the best behaved puppies on the block- but its not the same. Ok, pity party over- back to work Lena!
Kat-That was so well put!
And Amy, I don't blame you one bit for your feelings. You were there for your friend and happy for her. Doesn't mean you can't feel bad for yourself.
::Hugs::
I agree. When my nephew had his son right after my m/c, I felt so bad for myself that I could not stop crying for days. I was happy for him, but I was still mourning for my own loss, so it was rather tough. I understand how you ladies feel, and I don't blame you for feeling that way.
I like this!
My confession is that I've been so caught up in my stupid drama, that I've been b!tchy to friends and doing/saying hurtful things, not because I want to hurt them, but I just am wrapped up in myself that I don't notice I"m being mean.
Then I got butthurt when it was pointed out to me. Hello, it's my own mistake, I shouldn't be getting butthurt, especially when the person who pointed it out wasn't even being mean.
